Altagracia Gómez , CADERR Coordinator, highlighted that the purpose of this council is to promote the national relocation strategy , which is based on three pillars: public policy aligned with strategic sectors , prioritizing industries such as automotive, aerospace, agro-industrial and chemical; development of priority infrastructure , such as border crossings, ports, highways and hospitals; and strengthening of national talent , through technical education programs, certifications and promotion of STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
