FDI Advantage

Rio South Texas: Where the world comes to prosper.

It’s a compelling combination: New opportunities created by USMCA, the newly urgent search for resilience in manufacturing and supply chains, all added to the region’s strategic labor and manufacturing advantages. There’s never been a better time for foreign investment in Rio South Texas.

Of the approximately $600 billion in annual trade between Mexico and the United States, roughly $300 billion of that occurs in our region—with much of that trade in inputs fueling production on the mirror side of the Rio Grande River. In Rio South Texas we don’t simply trade products between two countries; we build them together. That makes us a significant value for foreign investment.

A Region That’s Open And Inviting.

For nearly 60 years, we have adapted to global changes, innovations and technology of several worldwide companies stablished in the region. While Mexico’s primary source of foreign direct investment comes from the U.S., Spain, Germany and Canada, foreign direct investment flows into the state of Tamaulipas from a number of nations.  And although foreign investment on the American side of the River is lower, foreign trade with China, France and other nations is robust.
