- The state of Querétaro’s remarkable economic performance over the past decade, and the factors that led to it: From 428 companies to over 1,300; FDI growth of 208%; GDP that doubled to $24.8 billion; and an increase in GDP per capita of 74%.
- The two other important cities in the state of Querétaro that offer strategic advantages for sub-tier suppliers;
- How the state’s central location and access to 45 million people within a 350-kilometer radius equates to a strong workforce;
- The cultural and quality-of-life factors that make Querétaro so appealing for expats; and
- A new announcement about the first fully American university campus in Mexico, which will be based in Querétaro.
Hugo’s professional experience includes promoting development in the Mexican private and public sectors, as well as working with international companies to help them establish operations in Mexico.
