‘Yucatan is a very important center for the southeastern region of Mexico, as there is a significant economic development. Investments in different sectors contribute to other conventions and this has been reflected in the areas of medicine and education, which should be used for greater growth,” said Ruiz Esperanza.

Among the elements that have served to place Yucatan in the crosshairs of foreign business are security, as well as levels of education, science, technological development, infrastructure, reindustrialization and innovation.
Due to the growth of investments in Yucatecan territory, Beatriz Quijano Bentata, president of IMEF in Yucatan, said the state government currently also works to attract German investment.
According to analyzes by ProMéxico, foreign investments contribute to maintain a direct relationship with the countries, which benefits exports. Yucatan’s main exports include processed foods, marine products, construction material, gravel and hardware, which are the main products shipped to the United States, for example.
