CAINTRA emphasized the need to strengthen the legal framework to promote investment, sustainability, and talent development as ways to improve competitiveness in Nuevo León, one of Mexico’s most industrialized states.
In a press conference, the organization highlighted the recently approved State Education Law , which positions Nuevo León as a national pioneer by formally integrating the dual education model , an initiative promoted by the industrial sector to close the gap between classrooms and companies.
In that regard, CAINTRA highlighted the role of the Nuevo León Congress “for promoting this important issue that will significantly benefit thousands of young people who have opted for an industrial technical career, a path that today offers incomes up to 25% higher than the average and better prospects for professional development.”
Currently, the industry demands more than 40,000 technicians in industrial branches each year, which opens an opportunity for growth and development for future generations.
According to CAINTRA, more than 450 young people participate in the dual education model, and historically more than 2,350 have benefited in more than 180 companies , where nine out of 10 students have successfully completed the program and at least 70% of them have received a job offer from the company that offered them the development opportunity.
The organization also announced the signing of an alliance with Banregio to facilitate access to financial resources under preferential conditions for CAINTRA members and to boost small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Another highlight was the Circular Economy Law initiative , which is currently being worked on in the Congress of Nuevo León, and for which CAINTRA has presented observations and technical criteria to ensure that its implementation contributes to sustainability without affecting the competitiveness of the industry.
The industrial organization also participates in initiatives related to transportation and transparency in public bodies.
Likewise, he called on the Executive and Legislative branches “not to give up on seeking a 2026 State Budget that prioritizes strategic projects, boosts productivity and allows capitalizing on the investment that comes to Nuevo León, while still addressing the most relevant needs of the citizens.”
On another topic, CAINTRA emphasized that it continues to promote an Administrative Procedure Law that will allow for the ordering and standardization of inspection processes for businesses in Nuevo León.
“Today, up to 20 municipal and state agencies perform these functions, which creates duplication, discretion, and risks of closure or extortion for businesses; in fact, three out of every 10 report illegal requests during these inspections. What we seek is to establish clear rules that provide legal certainty, reduce opportunities for improper practices, and strengthen the rule of law,” he stated.
In Mexico, the federal government and 20 states have a similar law that prevents arbitrary actions when ordering inspections, verifications and sanctions, and introduces defense and review mechanisms.
With these proposals and actions, CAINTRA seeks to establish greater coordination between industry, authorities and society to attract more investment, generate quality jobs and consolidate Nuevo León as the industrial and economic engine of Mexico.
