Mission Texas 2024

During our visit to Austin, we will have the opportunity to visit the Texas governor's office, where the various competitive advantages that the state offers for business and investments will be presented. Texas is known for its attractive tax policies, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a supportive regulatory environment that encourages economic growth and innovation. Additionally, we will visit the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), one of the main research and innovation centers in the United States. UT Austin is recognized for its vibrant ecosystem, which promotes collaboration between academia and industry, driving startups and technological advancements. This visit will provide valuable insights into how the university contributes to the economic and technological development of the region.

During our visit, we will explore Porto Seco, a vital component of logistics and trade operations that facilitates the flow of goods between the United States and Mexico. This strategic point is essential to understand the efficiency of trade and transport operations in the region. Additionally, the University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) will be a focal point, allowing us to explore how its research and innovation initiatives contribute to regional development

In addition to San Antonio, the city of Brooks, formerly an air base, exemplifies how smaller cities can offer specific niches and logistical advantages. Brooks has attracted significant investment in technology and manufacturing thanks to tax incentives and a favorable regulatory environment. This transformation into a hub of innovation and economic development highlights the potential of emerging communities in Texas. Knowing both large urban centers like San Antonio and smaller cities like Brooks allows you to identify a diverse range of investment opportunities. While San Antonio offers a robust infrastructure and a diverse market, Brooks presents an environment conducive to startups and innovation. This combination maximizes the potential for growth and business success, revealing the synergies between different markets within the state of Texas.
