The Secretariat of Economic Development of the government of Mexico City and #SoyLogístico Association signed an agreement for the creation of the Metropolitan Logistics Cluster , which will include various companies, professionals and universities to improve the distribution of goods in the metropolitan area.
This project will also cover the states of Hidalgo and the State of Mexico and seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of the logistics sector at a national level , being key to guaranteeing efficiency in the supply chain.
David Martínez, founder of #SoyLogístico, highlighted the importance of promoting cooperation between the public and private sectors and how logistics is a fundamental element for economic development, especially in Mexico City, a strategic site for the distribution of goods at national and international level.
“Logistics is not just about moving products, but about ensuring that they reach the end consumer in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost,” Martinez said.
According to Fadlala Akabani Hneide, Secretary of Economic Development of the Government of Mexico City, and David Martínez, the creation of the Metropolitan Logistics Cluster arose from a need identified during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the importance of having efficient supply chains became evident .
For them, this cluster seeks to consolidate the efforts of the sector and face current and future challenges , facilitating the distribution of goods not only in Mexico City, but also in surrounding areas, such as Hidalgo and the State of Mexico.
Paola Muñiz, advisor to #SoyLogístico and project coordinator, said that this cluster will benefit merchandise distribution companies and will cover the entire value chain, from packers to assemblers.
He also explained that the goal is to attract national and foreign investments , consolidating Mexico City as a benchmark in logistics.
The cluster will also integrate educational institutions , promoting training and professional development in the logistics sector, a field that increasingly requires more specialization and advanced technology.
“It is essential that we work together, both public and private, to improve competitiveness in logistics, which in turn will be reflected in sustained economic growth,” said Muñiz.
The Metropolitan Logistics Cluster will be implemented next year , bringing together companies, universities and professionals from the sector to consolidate this ambitious project, which seeks to make Mexico City a benchmark in logistics.
According to experts, this agreement marks the beginning of a new era for logistics in Mexico City, with a view to strengthening the local and national economy.
