Betsabé Rocha, head of the Nuevo León Ministry of Economy , said that during the current administration, mobility has become important for the development of the state; in addition, the state has invested more than 100 billion pesos (mdp) in infrastructure , such as the new inter-mountain highway, which will improve logistics.
“We will bring about a huge change to our state because of everything coming from the center of the country; this will solve a major problem. We must value these types of investments and consider them the guiding principle of sustainable economic development,” he mentioned in the panel “ North-Greater Bajío Integration and the New Industrial Geopolitics of North America ,” held within the framework of Latam Mobility North America 2026 , which took place in Monterrey.
In his participation, Esaú Garza de Vega, head of the Secretariat of Economic Development, Science and Technology of Aguascalientes , commented that they are working on improving the security of goods that move through different states to reach the United States, as well as on personnel and the development of suppliers in the automotive industry.

A strong focus is on the automotive industry, specifically on electromobility, as well as semiconductors with the installation of two new laboratories,” he explained.
