INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND URBAN INNOVATION IN NUEVO LEÓN

Monterrey has been known for its favorable business climate and large industrial base. However, as Nuevo León moves toward a knowledge-based economy marked by high technology development and innovation, the region is undergoing major changes in both its political and economic environment. Furthermore, the state has experienced exponential population growth and its urban territory has expanded dramatically, increasing the need for urban and infrastructure planning that addresses these challenges.

For the second time, Americas Society/Council of the Americas, in partnership with ProMéxico, will bring its Latin American Cities Conference to Monterrey to focus on the region's growth and development, convening government officials of the new governor's administration and companies who span various industries to discuss their perspective for the region.

OPORTUNIDADES DE INVERSIÓN E INNOVACIÓN URBANA EN NUEVO LEÓN

Monterrey se destaca por su clima de negocios favorable y por su sector industrial. Sin embargo, Nuevo León se está convirtiendo en una economía basada en el conocimiento gracias al desarrollo de alta tecnología e innovación. La región está experimentando cambios importantes en su entorno político y económico. Además, el estado ha experimentado un crecimiento exponencial de su población y su territorio urbano se ha expandido dramáticamente. Esta situación genera la necesidad de una planeación urbana y desarrollo de infraestructura que aborde estos desafíos.

Por segunda ocasión, Americas Society/Council of the Americas, en colaboración con ProMéxico, lleva su serie de conferencias Latin American Cities a Monterrey que se enfocará en el crecimiento y desarrollo de la región, a la cual asistirán funcionarios de gobierno de la presente administración y empresas de diferentes sectores para discutir su perspectiva para la región.

Registration: This event is complimentary for all registrants.

Prior registration is required.
