Critical Factors
2) Education
…………………………………………………………..………………………………………………………………………………………….
>> Distinguished Universities
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Nuevo Leon’s key to success throughout the years
has been its investment in education. From the
youngest to the eldest, continuous education has
been the standard for generations. The process of
better educating the citizenship begins at the
elementary level. Monterrey is home to very
prestigious private schools that offer their
education in languages like English and French.
English is taught as a second language in the
primary levels in public and private schools. This
combination of education at all levels has brought
the State’s educational average to 9.8 years,
compared to the median educational level of 8.6
years for the rest of Mexico.
Monterrey is home to 93 colleges and universities and 213 technical degrees. It is home to some of the
most prestigious universities of the nation. The first campus of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios
Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) originated in our city, and is one of the most prestigious colleges in all of
Latin America, It has international recognition due to its high academic levels and investigations.
Furthermore, there is also the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM), and the Universidad Regiomontana
(UR), and together these institutions are considered the 3 best private colleges in the northeastern region
of Mexico.
In the field of public education the Universidad
Autonoma de Nuevo Leon (UANL) has been ranked as
the best public university in all the northern region of
the country. Currently, Monterrey receives
thousands of students throughout Mexico and
abroad to pursue their studies in these institutions.
In advanced education, we are home to three of the
best graduate schools in the country. The IPADE,
EGADE, and EGAP are three world class graduate
schools that focus on Business Management and
Public Administration.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
>> Colombia International Bridge (CODEFRONT)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Minimizes the time and the cost of exploring and importing goods due to its record bordercrossing time in both directions.
Greatest bi-national infrastructure (500 hectares) specialized in trafficking of merchandise with an
international port of 8 lanes, showing record efficiency.
Capacity for 12,000 trailers per day.
Efficient technology that allows the constant flow of merchandise at the border.
ISO-9001 Certificate to assure the quality of service.
The highest technology used by United States Customs, equipped with X-ray and Gamma Pay
tunnel system for the rapid control of loaded trailers, which facilitates the flow of Mexican
exports.
Biggest fiscal precinct in the northern front of Mexico with a privileged location at the geographic
center of the United State.
8.6 miles of border with Texas
Situated 14.9 miles west of Bridge 3.
I-35 global connection
Third place in value of imports and exports of 21 bridges.
>> Colombia International Bridge has the following characteristics:
 Strategic Supervised Precint: The Customs Law allows the establishment of a free trade zone: a
strategic supervised precint, creating an area free of taxes for foreign trade and alloting benefits
of merchandise management, custody, storage, transformation, repair, elaboration, exhibition,
distribution, and sale.
 Safe Export Patio: This construction can be described as a paved patio with a cyclonical or
bradded fence, lighting, closed circuit and a high resolution image network, and with independent
entrances for each company, all of which require exclusive business certificates of production, like
C-TPAT, to monitor exports. This procedure prevents the international contamination of the
containers which are headed for the United States.
 Multimodal Cargo Terminal: A multimodal cargo terminal is a complex with different
transportation layouts, equiped with advanced logistic systems, infrastructure and technology,
wich are combined for merchandise collection and distribution.
 Laboratory analysis equipment for meat products: Colombia Port has the technical equipment
that is necessary to conduct food, agriculture, and meat products analysis that pass through the
border. This facility will help companies that import raw materials improve their transfer time in
accordance with their supplier´s demands.

>> Industrial Legacy
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Late in the nineteenth century, on October 9, 1890, Nuevo Leon began its industrial legacy with the first
steel concession in Mexico; the first of its kind in all of Latin America, Financed in part by foreign
investment, the steel industry gave the State of Nuevo Leon a progressive and stable economic
environment that lead to the birth of Nuevo Leon’s beer industry in 1889, with one of the first joint
ventures in the State’s history. This was made possible with the cooperation and transfer of knowledge
from aboard. This particular
industry required many raw
materials that were unobtainable
in the northeastern part of
Mexico at the time, so as direct
consequence, the glass industry
was born to service the beer
factory in 1899.
Continuing in the industrial
trend, the first brick factory was
founded in the 1890s. This
company directly benefited from
the growth of the northeastern
region due to the use of this
material for construction of roads
and buildings at the time.
As history clearly points out, Nuevo Leon was built with local industry and international cooperation.
International exchanges with industrialized nations have played a fundamental role in the economic
development of the region and specifically Monterrey.

7)Government Support
Mixed Labor Force Training Program
The government hires new workers for a three month training period; every employee receives an amount
equal to 1.5 times the Mexican minimum wage. The company´s main commitment is to hire 70 % of the
trainees by the end of the program.
Ex. If the company has 200 trainees, the government will be paying a total of $105,500 USD (exchange
rate of 11.00 pesos/ dollar) for the whole period
Payroll Tax Reduction Incentive
Payroll tax in the State of Nuevo Leon is 2%. The State will grant uo to 100% reduction for companies
established. This discount is granted for one year and can be extended for additional years based on new
employment creation.
Ex. For 200 trainees working in a company outside the Metropolitan area, the government will deduct a
total of $12,200 USD ( exchange rate 11.00 pesos/ dollar) for the whole year.
University and Government Programs
There are strong business links between government, companies, and academia. Universities and
technical schools are open to modify their courses so that their students can join a company at the
completion of their studies.
In addition, educational institutions with R&D Centers look forward to assist companies to develop new
products or processes.
Ex. A company can develop a specific educational program with any university or technical school to pretrain its future labor force.
Municipal Incentives
Real Estate Acquisition Tax (ISAI)
Purchase of land and buildings are eligible for tax reduction. A Real Estate Acquisition Tax of 2% applies to
the largest value between the value of the transaction or the catastral value (total amount paid for a
property); a discount might apply according to each company´s project and impact on the municipality.
Ex. For a warehouse with a $2,000,000 USD value, the company will have to pay a total of $40,0000 USD
to the municipal government; a 15% reduction can be granted reducing the company´s payment by $6,000
USD. The company will make a total payment of $34,000 USD for this municipal tax.
Construction Permit.
Reduction in the tax payment
Real estate Ownership Tax (PREDIAL)
Apply to any owned land or property. A Real Estate Ownership Tax must be paid yearly to the municipality
in the amount of 0.3% of the real estate value.
*Each project must be evaluated individually by the proper authority. In some cases funds are limited and grants will depend on fund availability.
Some examples are based on hypothetical scenarios; they are merely examples of how these incentives would work in case of approval. SEDEC is
not liable to respond to every case as the example states.
