- The lowest operational and living costs in the nation, allowing greater competitiveness and profitability.
- Access to a highly skilled, bilingual, binational workforce trained in logistics, manufacturing, energy, and technology.
- 18 international commercial bridges and crossings, plus the Deepwater Port of Brownsville and three international airports (Harlingen, McAllen, and Laredo) connecting the region to global markets in hours, not days.
