The Invest in Tam Advisory Council met with industrial developers and brokers with the purpose of building a strong platform for the promotion of investments in Tamaulipas.
In fact, the meeting was used so that Carlos Alberto García González, Secretary of Economic Development of Tamaulipas, announced this council that was created in September 2021, and is chaired by Luis Humberto Cantú Ochoa, president of the Binational Council for the Economic Development of Reynosa (Cobifer). In addition, they were given a sample of how the new state report on industrial market absorption will be integrated with updated information.
"If we want to have a good performance attracting investment, what better than doing it as a state, as a whole, and most importantly: with the information at hand," said Luis Cantú.
The secretary explained that Invest in Tam was created not only to have a support tool for the promotion of investments in the different industrial zones of the state, but also to consolidate coordinated work where everyone has up-to-date information that allows them to plan and know what is happening in each of the regions.
"What we seek is to enhance the efforts of all of us who work to attract investment to Tamaulipas, both domestic and foreign," he described.
The council has already been collecting information, and a first advance that emerges is that there is availability in Tamaulipas, especially there is land available for investment projects and the market continues to be attractive to investment.
