The People’s Governor, Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo, has promoted an economic policy focused on strengthening competitiveness, diversifying productive sectors and generating more opportunities for Guanajuatense families, consolidating Guanajuato as one of the states with the greatest trust for national and international investment.
Japan is currently Guanajuato’s main investment partner. Since 2007:

As part of this international agenda, the Secretary of Economy met with executives from Japanese companies, leaders in strategic sectors such as automotive, advanced manufacturing, connectivity, semiconductors, specialty chemicals, infrastructure, industrial materials and medical devices.
During the tour they met with companies such as:

The agenda also included institutional meetings with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA), the agency in charge of Japanese foreign policy, with the aim of strengthening bilateral cooperation and generating new opportunities for economic and business ties between Japan and Guanajuato.
A visit was also made to the Automotive Engineering Exposition in Yokohama, one of the most important events for advanced mobility and automotive innovation in Asia, where Guanajuato strengthened its international standing.
The work sessions showcased Guanajuato’s competitive strengths in infrastructure, strategic location, specialized talent, advanced manufacturing, supply, energy, and institutional support, as well as discussing opportunities for expansion and growth of Japanese companies focused on the North American market.
“In Guanajuato, we continue working to build long-term relationships of trust with our international allies. Japan is a strategic partner for our State, and this tour represents new opportunities to attract investment, strengthen innovation, and generate more jobs for our people,” said the Secretary of Economy, Claudia Cristina Villasenor Aguilar.
The work tour is part of the economic diversification strategy promoted by the People’s Government, focused on attracting investments from sectors such as aerospace, electronics, medical devices, agro-food and knowledge economy, in addition to strengthening trade relations with countries such as India, Turkey, Taiwan and various European markets after the recent update of the trade agreement of Mexico and the European Union.
