According to the DOF, the hub has a productive, priority vocation and potential to develop the automotive, semiconductor and specialized electronics, agro-industrial, energy, logistics, and medical and measurement device industries .
These sectors will help structure an innovation and value-added platform aimed at consolidating regional supply chains and facilitating production chain relocation processes . This will enhance Hermosillo, which is already a consolidated industrial center in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, agribusiness, information technology, and the energy sector.
In addition to its connectivity, the hub maintains ties with universities and research centers for the training of specialized human capital, ensuring the availability of qualified personnel for the strategic sectors that will be established in the region.
“The property designated for the Economic Development Hub for Well-being and Innovation in Hermosillo, Sonora, has industrial land use and basic urban infrastructure, high development potential for the hub and established industries, as well as interest from new investors,” the declaration stated.
