The City Council of Seville has concluded its trip to Mexico with a day in Monterrey, where it has sealed contacts with technological and aerospace clusters to attract investments.
The Seville delegation, led by the delegates of Finance, Juan Bueno, and Economy, Álvaro Pimentel, has wrapped up an intense agenda of meetings in Monterrey on Wednesday with the aim of positioning the Andalusian capital as a preferred destination for Mexican investment. The mission, organised by the 'Sevilla Open for Business' office, included meetings with clusters that group more than 300 technological and industrial companies from the state of Nuevo León.
The first meeting took place with representatives from Monterrey IT Cluster, CSOFT Monterrey, and the Nuevo León Logistics Cluster, three organisations that work on collaboration between companies, universities, and administrations. According to municipal sources, these clusters bring together thousands of engineering professionals who develop projects for technology companies of all sizes.
"Spain, and specifically Seville, constitutes a market of great interest for companies dedicated to software development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and technological services," stated Juan Bueno. The delegate highlighted the role of Sevilla TechPark as a space to connect research centres and promote shared programmes between both cities.
Another key meeting was with Monterrey Aerocluster, a leading entity in the Mexican aerospace sector. Bueno emphasised that "the industrial capacity of Seville in the aerospace field is a strength recognised by all Mexican companies in the sector" and pointed to an "extraordinary complementarity" between the industrial ecosystems of Nuevo León and Seville.
The day concluded with an institutional meeting with Regina Sada Elizondo, director of Foreign Investment for the State of Nuevo León, alongside innovation leaders and members of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Mexico. The state of Nuevo León, considered the largest industrial hub in Mexico, hosts over 4,500 foreign companies in sectors such as technology, automotive, logistics, and data centres.
"Seville is experiencing an unprecedented moment of growth in its technological, industrial, energy, and aerospace dimensions," affirmed Bueno, who insisted that "the opportunity to collaborate on future joint actions that contribute to strengthening the business relationship between both territories must not be missed."
The business mission, which began last week, has allowed for the establishment of contacts with economic and institutional agents in Mexico, reinforcing Seville's international positioning. The 'Sevilla Open for Business' strategy aims to attract new companies, generate quality employment, and consolidate the city as an economic hub in southern Europe.
For the City Council, these agreements open the door to future Mexican investments in sectors such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and aerospace, with the Technological Park of Seville as a strategic enclave. The next phase will be to specify contacts in bilateral collaboration projects.
