SEDECO to start new Technological park project

Interested in transforming San Luis Potosi on a state moving from manufacture to mindfacture, Gustavo Puente Orozco, secretary of Economic Development (SEDECO, by its Spanish initials) said that the new Technological Park project will be started in 2020.

“The expansion of industries with an innovative vocation in San Luis Potosi has resulted in the need of having a new Technological Park, which will be developed by stages, a complex of this nature could be located in the La Pila delegation,” he said.

For now, the head of SEDECO said that by the end of this year they already have preliminary progress such as the management of the necessary property lands and the Science and Technology Council for the State of San Luis Potosi (COPOSYT, by its Spanish initials) will be in charge of elaborating the legal structure with which this park will work.

“Two companies are interested in being part of this center which will confirm their settling during the first quarter of 2020,” said Gustavo Puente Orozco. He added that companies like Cummins, Bosch, Continental, and ABB have chosen San Luis Potosi to settle their innovation centers.

“The intention is for them to be all located on a single space such as Technological Park and that they can join other companies and, of course, the academy and educational institutions,” he noted.

SLP AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE TO INVEST

Due to the national and international promotion work encouraged by the State Government and the Ministry of Economic Development, San Luis Potosi reached the figure of 1,200 million pesos (600 million dollars) in 2019 of settled investment.

Such figure is anticipated to be increased next year, since as it is part of the Centro-Bajio-Occidente Alliance new investment poles are opened, as for what the heads of the Ministry of Economic Development of the states of San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, and Jalisco have planned a work tour through Germany, Japan, and China.
