With the goal of consolidating Nuevo León as a key state for foreign investment, Governor Samuel García held a meeting in New York with the Council of the Americas (COA), where he highlighted the formalization of more than $650 million in investments for the state. The governor also emphasized the state’s energy capacity as a strategic advantage over other regions of the country.
During his second day of activities in this U.S. city, the governor also met with Marcos Bucio—Consul General of Mexico in New York—and with executives from banks and companies that are currently expanding operations in the state.
Energy availability is positioned as one of Nuevo León’s main differentiators. According to the governor, international investors question whether there is sufficient capacity to support new industrial projects.
In this context, García Sepúlveda stated that Nuevo León operates as an energy distribution hub for five states in the country. Of the 13,000 megawatts generated and distributed from this strategic node, 9,000 megawatts are consumed within the state itself.
This volume represents a tangible competitive advantage. While other states face project cancellations due to energy shortages, Nuevo León guarantees supply for energy-intensive industries, such as advanced manufacturing, technology, and specialized services.
Furthermore, during the meeting with the Council of the Americas, the governor reported that the working tour is already yielding concrete results. More than $650 million in foreign investment has been formalized for Nuevo León.
The governor was accompanied by Emmanuel Loo, Undersecretary of Investment, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence, who participated in meetings with directors of banks and companies that are currently expanding plants or integrating new services and technology in the state.
This capital reinforces the state’s strategy for attracting investment in strategic sectors. It also strengthens Nuevo León’s position in the context of nearshoring and the reconfiguration of global supply chains.
The meeting was also attended by Ragnhild Melzi, Vice President of the Americas Society/Council of the Americas (AS/COA). The meeting aimed to strengthen institutional relations, exchange perspectives on the bilateral agenda, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
The Council of the Americas brings together leading companies with operations in Latin America. Therefore, this type of engagement expands the state’s international visibility and facilitates direct promotion to strategic stakeholders.
Likewise, coordination with the Mexican Consulate in New York reinforces the state’s economic diplomacy. This strategy allows for the coordination of efforts between the public sector, business organizations, and investors.
In conclusion, the trip to New York not only showcases Nuevo León to high-level business organizations but also consolidates investment commitments of more than $650 million and reaffirms its energy advantage with 9,000 megawatts of available power. Thus, the state strengthens its role as one of the main hubs for foreign investment in Mexico.
