4 The Quadruple Helix: cutting-edge strategies for Mexico

- Business strength – Government – Academy – Society -

Our contacts have diversified too. Along with the strengthening of our relationship with our traditional partners: North America and Latin America, we are now looking for new alliances and markets in the regions that, in the xxi century, are at the forefront in innovation and economic growth, such as Asia Pacific, the Arabian Peninsula and India.

From the diagnosis of the new international scene, from the beginning of his governance, the President Enrique Peña Nieto defined a vision to establish a modern and proactive foreign policy, not only focused in the defense, but also in the active promotion of concrete interests that are seen in tangible results.

Currently, our country is the 15th economy in the world and we have 12 free trade agreements with 46 countries, which give us access, in preferential terms, to the 60% of the world’s market, which means a total of 1.2 billion potential consumers.

Only with United States, our bilateral trade has grown 547% since the beginning of nafta and, recently, we ratified the Trans-Pacific

Partnership, which will give us access to 6 new countries, adding 155 million consumers for the Mexican products.

Regarding tourism, last year we reached a new historical record with over 31.2 million visitors and an economic income of over 17 billion dollars. Since 2012, this industry has increased 37%, and in 2015, Mexico was among the top 10 international destinations in the ranking of the World Tourism Organization. This achievement was thanks to the dynamism of the private sector, the determined action of the government and our natural and cultural wealth, since we are the 4th country with greater diversity in the world and the 6th with more recognized places by unesco as Heritage of Humanity.

In light of this great potential, a major focus of the international tours of the President Peña Nieto, and those of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the promoting of opportunities of trade, investment and tourism, as well as a closer collaboration with the private sector.

For example during the recent work visits to Europe, groups of Mexican entrepreneurs

accompanied the delegation in order to strengthen and opening new spaces with strategic partners through meetings and signed agreements. Germany has 1,835 signed agreements operating in Mexico, which create around 120,000 direct jobs. United Kingdom is one of the main countries that sends tourists to Mexico, with more than half million in 2015. The Netherlands is our third greatest investor with significant companies such as Unilever.

All these efforts are framed in the premise of inclusive development, meaning that the benefits of national development can be exploited by entrepreneurs of all sizes, and can be also translated in more jobs for workers in industries that offer greater salaries.

The foreign policy as a way of public service is the one in charge of translating the presence and excellent political dialogue that Mexico has with the world. A dialogue based in initiatives and actions that have a positive impact by transforming and improving the reality, opening doors, opportunities and prosperity.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE FOREIGNPOLICY OF MEXICO

IN THE INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COUNTRY.

The international presence of Mexico is not new but the terms and languages of our relationship with the world have changed significantly during the past thirty years.

We went from having a connection based in cultural affinities to an opening underpinned in our commercial exchanges, tourism, investments and cooperation in science and technology.

- By Chancellor Claudia Ruiz Massieu – Secretary of Foreign Affairs. -

THE AUGE OF MEXICOFROM THE INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE



The talent of Mexicans is the best resource that our country has to make a better industrial competitiveness and face the actual challenges on economic and social matters.

The productivity of our economy can increase substantially through applied innovations and technological development, training of productive talent, the promotion of industrial competitiveness and the strengthen of the productive linkages with inclusion of the sme’s, that can make a difference of what is made in Mexico in the face of our main business partners and competitors.

Convinced that the industry is where we can create a higher amount of jobs, added value to products made in Mexico and successfully compete outside the country; we established the Group of High Level for the Industrial Competitiveness, where we set up the bases for the settlement of a National System of Industrial Competitiveness, with competitiveness simulators, and regional and national agendas based in the World Economic Forum model, using the National Index of Competitiveness, which we will create along with the shcp, the Ministry of Economy, Banxico and inegi.

On this matter, one of the immediate needs of the industry is the connection of the academy and the industry, to guarantee that there will be graduates with the required knowledge and abilities that will allow us to face the challenges of the global economy of knowledge in permanent change.For this reason, it is priority for concamin to strengthen the links with the academic sector through different mechanisms that can make a virtuous circle where the educational offer covers the need of the labor market.

Through our agenda for the creation of talent, promoted by the Ministry of Public Education, the main goals of this connection are: promote the development of a business and innovation culture that focuses in the improvement of competitiveness of the Mexican economy; perform curricular activities along with the academic sector; create internships, visit and exchange programs; promote the transfer of technology and knowledge as well as scholarship programs for the first job, among others.

We, industrial entrepreneurs, believe in Mexico,therefore, we create in Mexico.

INDUSTRIAL COMPETITIVENESS By Manuel Herrera Vega, President of concamin


7The Quadruple Helix: cutting-edge strategies for Mexico


The characteristic that defines the society of knowledge is that it has become the main asset in the growth of nations.Universities have established as a highly demanded asset because they are the main creators of knowledge, although they are not the only ones, and because they are inserted in the dynamic of global competitiveness.

In the case of Mexico, in addition of carrying out functions of professional training, scientific research and dissemination of culture; universities have developed an essential role to create civic and democratic values.

Faced to current challenges, the schools of higher education need to endorse the quality of the offered services, as well as designing new approaches and strategies. It is important that universities promote creativity, entrepreneurship and team work, as well as the capacity of its professors and graduates in order to communicate efficiently in their mother tongue and other languages.

In order to reach this goal, it is necessary to strengthen the relationship with governmental, productive and social sectors to share projects that contribute to the scientific and technological development, to the solution of social problems and to improve the quality of life of people.

In accordance with its public good character and inherent right, it is urgent that our country applies policies that favor every citizen’s access to higher education in order to maintain its potential as a social mobility factor and to promote inclusion, sustainable development andpacific coexistence.

ABILITIES OF THE EDUCATION SECTORBy Itzcóatl Tonatiuh Bravo PadillaRector of Universidad de Guadalajara



The quadruple helix would not be complete without the participation of society, who sometimes is, represented by nonprofit social institutions that look to solve the issues that affect the city, with humanitarian solutions that improve the life quality of people in challenging situations, by offering them a new opportunity of comprehensive growth.

In memory of my father, who taught me the power of words, who forged me in work and business, and mainly, who inspires the unity of my family; we have created the Fundación Roberto Chávez Gracián for vulnerable groups due to age or disability.

This institution has no economic objectives and it does not accept religious, social or racial discrimination. Its mission and raison d’être is to give support to people, groups, sectors and regions of limited resources for the improvement of its life quality. We also work hard to settle and increase the survival conditions and the development of indigenous communities and vulnerable groups.

It is a priority, within the work of the quadruple helix, to raise awareness, motivate and promote actions in benefit of those that due to adverse situations do not have a voice or access to a platform of social assistance or rights commission.

Through these words, I invite the readers to get involved in social initiatives that create and promote charity activities in favor of social institutions, as well as to join and demand public actions that transform our city into an example of social commitment for other communities.

SOCIAL COMMITMENT: CONCRETE ACTIONS

IN THE WORDS OF... AUGE OF MEXICOGROWTH AND COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP

PUERTO VALLARTA:INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS CENTER

Jalisco has transformed into an important cultural and business center in Latin America with a unique impression in its traditions and the maximum expression of Mexico. It reaches every

corner in the world with its mariachi, charros and its captivating tequila.

- By Juan Mejorada, General Coordinator of Competitiveness sedeco Jalisco. -

15IN THE WORDS OF...AUGE DE MEXICOGROWTH AND COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP

We can’t talk about Jalisco without mentioning Puerto Vallarta, a place that, through the years, has established and strengthen as a wonderful tourist destination of high class, where its gastronomy and exceptional weather make of it an unforgettable and unique experience.

The greatness of this beautiful harbor is now growing in the business tourism. Thanks to Puerto Vallarta’s International Conventions Center (cic by its Spanish acronym); the business stage in the coast has transformed into the greatest economic promotion center in the Mexican Pacific.

cic can lodge more than 6,000 people on the inside and 21,000 on the outside areas. It is home of the majesty architectural work that is set deep in the limits of the estuary El Salado. It is the only place whose income has been used for the preservation and protection of this protected natural area, which makes it a socially and environmentally responsible company.

Through institutions like the Ministry of Economic Development of Jalisco, the invite is for every entrepreneur leader that looks for a unique platform to launch your event to the highest level in one of the most beautiful cities of the country.


ADDED VALUEOF THE GROWING ECONOMY

The success of a city is the result of a strategic planning that doesn’t depend on the time a politic is in power or on economic influences. Public participation united with the vision of the private sector are a factor that can exploit the social and economic development of a region,

and, even more when they are involved in the different levels of the government.

- By Humberto Inzunza, President of The Council of Economic Development of Tijuana (cdt). -


The steps to reach a shared vision for a world class metropolis are guarantying the governability and increasing the life quality. In the Council of Economic Development of Tijuana (cdt), we have worked with our governing document: Metropolitan Strategic Plan 2034. Its main goal is to promote the economic, social and cultural development for the metropolitan area of Tijuana, Tecate and Playas de Rosarito, through its sectors and commissions, following the case of success of the rearrangement plan Bilbao Metropolis 30, in Spain.

Tijuana continues its hard work in order to achieve this goal by 2034, this is why it is very important that the other Mexican cities follow its example. The added value of the growing economy lies not only in the wealth accumulation, but in a city model in a short, medium and long term that includes information of the metropolis, better jobs, investment in human resources, articulacion on the social action, metropolis of the services for a modern region that

is tourist and industrial, urban regeneration, mobility and accessibility. Altogether, these actions will establish Tijuana, Tecate and Playas Rosarito as the main center in the Northeast.

In addition of the Metropolitan Strategic Plan 2034, cdt has managed to establish its main objectives for Tijuana since its foundation in 1997, such as the crossing points El Chaparral and Otay II, Centro Metropolitano de Convenciones, Museo Interactivo El Trompo, Consorcio and Tecnológico de Baja California, among others.

All of this is just a part of the mission that we have in the Council for Economic Development of Tijuana to establish our cities as mainstays of innovation and modernization for the future generations, and thus, contribute to the Auge de México.


DESTINATIONS FORA HEALTHY LIFE STYLE

One of the recurrent thoughts of any human is to improve his or her life style, especially when talking about health. But, where to begin? How to obtain it? This can often turned into a conflict, driving us away from our goals. Nevertheless, a niche in the market that establishes

different cities as “healthy life destination” is growing in our country.

- By Dr. Adrián Murillo, President Consejo de Marca Saludable S. A. de C. V. -


Nowadays, the main health concerns are chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, overweight or obesity; as well as the mental sufferings like stress and depression, since they affect both, quality and life expectancy. Mexico has a great opportunity to develop alternatives that meet theses needs and than can be added to the many options that are already offered in the health tourism.

The Cluster of Medical Services of Baja California is an example of innovation as far as the creation of destinations for a healthy life style. Its strategic plan involves local products that aren’t traditionally considered as services that contribute to health, but that are also within its complementary offer. In Tijuana specially, the participation of restaurants, gymnasiums, natural and

organic food stores or cooking courses is being promoted to develop a tourist product that promotes a healthy life style; one that approaches the visitors, in a complete and holistic way, to be healthy in every moment of life.

This encourages visitors to come not only looking to solve existing health problems, but to find solutions that, besides healing, prevent sickness.

In conclusion, integrating destinations for a healthy life style adds value to the increasing industry of health tourism, which increases the economic income, promotes the quantity and quality of jobs and improves the life of the producers and the consumers.


CRAFT TRADITIONAS A SYMBOL OF THE MEXICAN IDENTITY

The Mexican identity begins with its roots, traditions and folklore. Each expression of our society’s daily routine transforms into unique pieces that represent the values of Mexico due

to the Indigenous legacy and the Spaniard heritage.

- By Rodo Padilla, sculptor and artisan in stoneware ceramics and bronze. -


Whether it is with sculptures and paintings that decorate from corporative facilities to galleries and museums sponsored by the private sector, the Mexican art expands to the business world –a rarely visited market- where crafts are a main part of the movement.

As sculptor and artisan, I have confirmed that the Mexican art promotes and shapes the identity of companies, in the same way exactly in which traditions and customs do to society’s integral development. This means that through art, companies can reinforce their enterprise’s philosophy, values, mission and vision.

Crafts are the popular expression of a country with a rich cultural heritage. Each piece represents its own identity; my creations are eternal values made

art. They are inspired in the warm and renowned personality of Mexicans: kind, friendly, simple and, the most important, happy.

Renowned brands from the business world have used a fat man, bikers, and men with hats, but among others, my figures represent the achievements, acknowledges and executive gifts that give an added value to their corporate identity.

El gordito is a reflection of the craft turned into art, a manifestation of the Mexican identity that is part of the Auge de México with its rooted presence in the trade, development and economy of the country.


SUMMERWINES

Wine is a pleasure that can be enjoyed all year long since it offers a great variety of colors, aromas, flavors and styles. If we truly want to please ourselves with this delicious and millenarian

drink, we must open our mind and awake our senses to begin a new and fun life style.

- By Marco Antonio Amador, Sommelier from Vinos La Cetto. -


I remember that time where I offered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon Rose to a renowned entrepreneur and he told me: “ “No thanks, I only take red wine”, along with a phrase that echoed in my head: “I do know about wine”. I say to you, with sadness, that there are many people who think this way because of ignorance or lack of adventurous spirit to discover the wonders that the magical world of wine offers.

Some recommendations at the time of drinking wine are:

1. - Enjoy it with your partner or friends.2. - Although we will always have a favorite wine, we should dare to try

something new.

3. - Read the labels can give us valuable information.4. - Read and share articles on winemaking will give us the possibility of

understand and enjoy this drink more.5. - Temperature in which it is served is very important, the recommendation

of the producer is usually in the back label.

Although, it is a fact that depending on the taste or the mood of the people is what will be chosen at the time of eating or drinking, it is also a reality that accepting a recommendation and daring to experiment can surprise our senses in a great way.

Adventuring into a new experience, is a experience that will hardly be forgotten.


IF YOU SAVE A WOMAN...YOU SAVE A FAMILY

Women are the spiritual support of their families, and sometimes, they are also the economic support of their homes. Nevertheless, there are three silent killers that don’t distinguish between location, age, social class nor marital status: breast cancer, cervical cancer and osteoporosis. When raising awareness on the importance of this subject, we contribute to the

creation of a healthy society because “if you save a woman, you save a family”.

- By Dr. Mónica Bañuelos Contreras, Co-founder dem Bañuelos. -


We all have an important woman in our life that can fulfill the role of wife, mother, daughter, sister or she can be you. Health is life’s main ingredient, and most of the times, we do not appreciate it, until we lose it.

There is a commonly used expression in Mexico: “Family is the most important thing, I would do anything for my children”. Nonetheless, our actions express the opposite. If we don’t have the culture of preventive healthcare, we can take away the most precious thing our children’s have: their mother.

I ask you, the reader. When was the last time you had a breasts self-exam, a colposcopy or a densitometry?

I know that I am addressing to women. However, the role of men can also make a difference in the health of the family. An early diagnose makes the difference.

It is important to teach our daughters to do the breasts self-exam and to take care of their body through healthy habits, such as good feeding, exercise,

medical consultation and annual medical check-ups. Our children listen to what we say but they imitate what we do, by seeding the culture of preventive medicine, we will harvest our family’s health.

Every two hours a woman dies due to cervical cancer, and, in most cases, it could have been avoided with an early diagnosis. Feeding, genetics, sedentary lifestyle and certain lifestyles contribute to the development of these diseases, but the imminent danger is the lack of information, fear, or sometimes, machismo too.

Don’t waste time or give priority to material things. Health is not everything, but without it, we can’t do anything.

Love yourself and choose to be alive.

CREATIVE COMMUNITY CORE OF THE ECONOMY AND SIGNIFICANCE

- Mauricio De Font-Réaulx Rojas, General Director of Centro Cultural Universitario. -

The creation of urban spaces that combine the life style and demographic changes of high technology industries with captivating center that have cultural services is essential in order to promote the economy of ideas and capitalize the creative industry for the result of an

improvement in conditions to participate as a complete country in the world competition.

Universities and institutions focused on research are a bastion in the creative economy since they constitute a great source of competitive advantages because they act as a platform

for experimental projects of the private sector, providing the industry with technology,talent and tolerance.

29SPECIALAUGE DE MEXICOGROWTH AND COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP

Nonetheless, universities can’t do it without help, the community must have the ability to absorb and take advantage of the innovation and technology that they create. They must also aid to the establishment of the range of services that make up the life style and quality of the place that creative people demand.

The combination of this with an economic infrastructure that allows the extension of a creative atmosphere, will allow the capitalization of the creative industry to the comprehensive development of any region.

Building a environment of people:creative city

To create a strong business environment, it is necessary to promote a general strategy committed to attract and retain people, especially creative people that for their profile will always be looking for ideas that show their potential and intellect.

This scheme must be open to diversity by working actively to develop a cultural exchange. In Jalisco stands out a project that has recently expanded its frontiers to form a new creative city where education, industry, entertainment, culture and economy converge; this is the Centro Cultural Universitario (ccu).

ccu has fostered an ecosystem where every form of creativity can emerge and grow as far asits capacities allow it.

Centro Cultural Universitario is a model of capitalization of ideas and culture that will help to have a better economic growth in the region,being a role model for other states to guarantee a solid future of the creative industry and the generation of ideas in Mexico.

Thus, given its conception as a “generator of self-esteem for society”, the construction projects of each one of its facilities were elaborated with world class specifications by national and international companies that used innovating, sustainable and low-maintenance materials for its construction.

For this reason, the district is perfect for the national cultural tourist development, and locally, it magnifies the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (amg) and revitalizes its depressed zones to increase the quality of life of the people and create an economy of ideas. With this goal in mind, it was created the Trust of the University Cultural Center which is the development of a public and private investment of approximately 11 billion pesos.

In the year in which Grupo Omnilife celebrates its 25th anniversary, the panorama of Jorge Vergara starts to clarify and expand, since currently it is a live example of the commercial

expansion, opening its way to South America.

Having the iconic facilities of Estadio Omnilife as background, the visionary man from Jalisco confirmed a new strategy that will redefine the way in which Mexicans watch soccer. Chivas TV makes its way in an era where streaming is the key for the main media outlets. A change that will be successful and that will also launch his prestige in the sports world at international level.

In Jalisco the growth of Jorge Vergara is well-known through Omnilife, Chivas and recently, the real estate business. What is the key that has taken your companies to success?

The key is to always search for innovation, with this, you attract benefits for the people that chase results and not money. Persistence and determination have made us the company that we are now; these have led us to make the most of opportunities. I strongly believe that growthis produced in every single one of us. We are the only company from Jalisco with presencein South America.

How has been the commercial expansion process of Jorge Vergara?

When I started expanding my horizons and decided to extend Omnilife to South America, people in Guadalajara called me crazy. Their perspective was limited only to United States. Since then, I confirmed that we, Mexicans, lack the vision of growing to other parts of the world. It is a fact that, even though many people still don’t believe, we have competitive projects that can result very interesting to other countries.

The speech of Vergara has maintained constant throughout the years. His strengths come out in hard times. Thus, in the middle of an economic crisis (existential too), Jorge Vergara discovered that it is best to rely on yourself than to rely on a company to move forward.

Since that moment, one of the guidelines that took his company to success started. “People that takes care of people”, and he confirmed it in the recent celebration of the 25th anniversary of Omnilife. “My goal is that they succeed in life (independent suppliers). I will never be busy for any of you, since my main interest is that you achieve your goals, that you grow, change your lives and that you share the benefits of Omnilife with your family.”

Is the Mexican coherent in goal fulfillment?

Mexicans are learning to undertake and expand. Previously, they only look for their personal interests, to make money, be rich and enjoy it. We have been working on changing this perspective and on giving the Mexican entrepreneurs a vision of growth.

“I believe that there is potential in Jalisco.”

What drives Jorge Vergara to continue developing successful companies?

I believe that successful people must give back to society. I am very stubborn, I have to make Jalisco change. One of the reasons that I got into soccer is because we must achieve a significant change through sport activities. I am convinced that the day I achieve this, it will radically change the culture of children. But, why do I continue being so stubborn? Because I believe that we have a great potential in Jalisco.

Now that you mention soccer, was Chivas always in your plans?

Four years before the purchase of Chivas, I started planning it with a clear objective: to create a team of eleven Mexican players that will help me change the moral leadership of the country.

How does the passion for sports influences in business?

It was proved in a study made in Costa Rica, that when Deportivo Saprissa was champion, the country’s productivity increased 22%. It is the same in Mexico, especially with the million followers of Chivas.

It is said that men writes history with daily work, how would you like to be remembered?

The truth is that it doesn’t really matter; I’m not here to be remembered. I want to transcend with a clear objective, which is Omnilife and Chivas; transcend with the number of lives I have changed over the course of my life.

Is Jorge Vergara happy?Yes.

“We have been working on giving Mexican entrepreneurs avision of growth.”

With the vision and strategy set in the port of Dubai, possibilities have no limits, since the distribution phase of the national products has the most efficient and innovating infrastructure in logistics terms. Thus, those brands interested in seducing the taste of the inhabitants of Arabic countries can establish in the best current scenario.

The quality parameter of Best Ground is extremely high, since the base of its success lies in the process of representation of brands that have place their trust in this company. For this reason, the main strategy for the search of ideal opportunities

is the permanent analysis on market trends for the brands that have an emerging vision of export. Best Ground is seen as the more relevant guide, during these processes, to consolidate the globalization of these companies.

The initiative that pretends to generate its own production stands out in its plan of growth, as well as providing a stimulus to national farmers to incorporate them and complement them on the quality standards of their products, since that is precisely, one of its main added values.

Its main product is honey from agave, thus the collaboration with farmers has expanded by securing more than 152 farmers under the slogan of “fair trade”. This allows them to offer their products and obtain greater profits, a better quality of life, and, mainly, growth and international expansion of its production.

Precisely, it is thanks to the incorporation of its different branches and brands that have made very clear that their projects can’t be based just in a financial perspective, since they are convinced that, if so, they wouldn’t obtain the expected success. In addition, the transcendence of the product is achieved through the success in the entire chain –from the farmer to the consumer. This dynamic has led them to become a reliable company and to obtain the certification of Organic Company.

The path travelled has not been an easy one for Best Ground. Nonetheless, the effort is worth it and is thanks to them that today; there is the possibility of exporting national products to the Middle East, Asia and Africa. However, above all this, today, they are a fair company that extends the opportunity of collaboration and growth that contribute to strengthen the Auge of the Mexican companies.

In economic terms, the Mexican agricultural and livestock sector has had a great dynamism in the last years. For the first time, we have a positive balance in the country’s food and agriculture balance. In addition, we have the first place in the world in the exportation of products like avocado, tequila, beer, cucumber, mango and guava. Additionally, we are among the first places in other products such as berries, maize, watermelon, tomato, lime, honey and bovine products. This is a clear example of the value that our sector and our field

for the country’s economy.

THE MEXICAN VALUEPROMOTING THE AGRICULTURAL AND LIVESTOCK SECTOR

FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY

- Bosco de la Vega Valladolid, Vicepresident of the National Agricultural and Livestock Council (cna). -

We have always thought that the agricultural and livestock sector is strategic for the country because from our experience and contact with the producers, the crops and the earth, we recognize the value and the quality of products. We realize the importance of what we do by offering goods of the highest quality to Mexican homes, which assures an income to all those that worked in the production.

For this reason, we understood that to boost the sector also means to boost a national economic dynamics. This helps us to solve highly important matters, such as assuring the supply of basic food for the people and to preserve the great food diversity that our country has and that belongs to everyone.

We see the sustained growth of this industry in recent years as the basis that will allow us to have a greater growth in the future. If we succeed in the boosting of the Mexican field with the right politics and programs, with the organization and support of the Mexican producers; we will become a global productive and exporting power.

We know that to recognize the value of the Mexican agricultural and livestock sector means accepting a great responsibility to promote its growth and to take advantage of the opportunities.

To promote the investigation in the sector and the use of technology, are necessary actions to increase productivity and competitiveness.

This is what we look for because we also know that by doing it, we work along with many other Mexicans and succeeded in the increase of income of the small and medium producers, at the same time that we promote its organization in productive chains and clusters. The value of our field is undeniable –economically speaking- and we know that by stimulating its growth, we boost the national economy.

We strongly believe that recognizing its value, its products and producers, is to accept both the sector’s economic potential and its importance to us, to Mexico.

Our products are distinguished by unique features, such as their flavors, textures, and aromas; all of them are symbols that speak of their quality. The credit of the sector is also for us, to feel proud of the great esteem that Mexicans have towards our products.

By recognizing the value of the Mexican food sector, we accept the importance of promoting and investing in it.

Dream, create and undertake

With the objective of training children to learn to know themselves, what they can become and achieve what they want in life, each year the Expo Pequeños Emprendedores is carried out, a unique event in Latin America, which celebrated its third edition last April.

There, each small entrepreneur presents their developed products during the training program, at the time that visitors get involved in activities and workshops focused in finances, undertaking, leadership and team work. In addition, there are also presentations addressed to parents and conferences where established entrepreneurs share their stories.

A successful story

This concept innovates and refreshes the entrepreneurship in Mexico; it is a creation of Carla Pedroza, who with a family committed to training in the business area and human development, decided to meet the lack of self-awareness of talents and life goals that adults carry from their childhood. Thus, the opportunity of making an extension of the training that is addressed to children and teenagers arises.

“For many years I realized that adults lack the knowledge about their talents, life goals, strengths and weaknesses, but mainly, I realized that they didn’t make what they truly wanted.”Carla Pedroza, creator and founder of the concept.

Many people categorized this project as something impossible to make, however, thanks to the support of Lic. Adriana Corona Gil, Ambassador of Pequeños Emprendedores, what started as an idea, transformed into a reality that, today, is a company committed to guide the children in the discovering of their abilities to they learn to do what they truly love, learn to have dreams and goals, and, mainly, they can know how to reach them.

With pilot tests that started in 2009, the concept began 4 years later and gave its founder the title of Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the Business Development Congress of 2014.

Expo Pequeños Emprendedores is an event that remains in the world’s business panorama and that will shortly be imitated in other states of Mexico.

Tijuana Innovadora is the sum of the work and effort that the society of Tijuana makes with the goal of restoring and promoting its image at national and international level. Thus, twice a year the city is host of presentations, panels and workshops of experiences and researches of Nobel winners, transnational entrepreneurs, athletes, scientists and artists, as well as the participation of outstanding Tijuanenses and a wide area of commercial network.

The activities focus their attention on emphasizing and showing the sectors that create an economic development in Baja California, making emphasis in the reinforcement of the bonds that this organization has with the state of California, since both form the “Mega Region” of innovation, and both are the epicenter of the binational life between Mexico and the United States.

It is possible to celebrate this due to the visible innovating mark of the industrial productions that Tijuana exports to the world, such as televisions, pacemaker components, and aerospace technology, among others.

Although the biannual program is displayed as the greatest showcase of the initiative, throughout the year are carried out exhibitions, concerts, sport festivities and environmental workshops. There, it is possible to “waste time in a positive way”, to share in the “House of Ideas” and to create “Art in the Industry”.

Thus, Tijuana has demonstrated that the reconstruction of the social structure is possible by taking back public spaces, with the revaluation of the work, and the implementation of a business culture that bets for the human capital and mental labor.

THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The oldest Latino newspaper of San Diego, California, La Prensa San Diego has been growing under the leadership of its new Publisher & ceo, Arturo Castañares. The weekly newspaper started on December 1, 1976 and is San Diego’s only bilingual newspaper,

reaching up to 40,000 copies per week.

63AUGE DE MEXICOINTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BENCHMARK INTERNATIONAL PRIDE

Mr. Castañares bought La Prensa San Diego on July 31, 2015 to become the third publisher of the newspaper in its 40-year history. La Prensa San Diego started in 1976 by Daniel Muñoz, a community college professor of Chicano Studies. At the time, there were no Latino media outlets in San Diego, so Professor Muñoz started a community newsletter in Spanish to inform the community about important issues. That year, the newsletter officially became La Prensa San Diego, and after 2 years, became bilingual in Spanish and English.

“I want to increase the scope of our newspaper into new communities of San Diego to better inform Latinos and raise awareness of the important challenges that we face.”

Since 1989, Mr. Castañares has worked in politics and government, from the California State Legislature to assisting 74 political campaigns. During 1999 and 2000, Mr. Castañares also worked for the White House as an Advance Team member for Vice President Al Gore’s official travel.

The main focus of La Prensa San Diego is to inform and educate the Latino community on important issues and to help increase Latino voter participation in elections in order to gain more influence in changing laws that affect them.

The newspaper has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President in this year’s elections based on the racist and anti-immigration positions that Donald Trump has taken.

“In recent years, Latinos have become a larger share of the voters in the US, and politicians, including President Barack Obama, have had to respond with real action.”

Throughout many years of involvement and support of issues, La Prensa San Diego has become an important part of the Latino community in San Diego and its new Publisher wants to continue building the influence of the newspaper, hoping to maintain this work for the next generation.

Mr. Castañares also serves as Chairman and ceo of Manzana Energy, Inc.; a development company specialized in solar energy systems, biomass to fuels technology, and artificial turf installation projects. Castañares’ parents emigrated from Mexico and he was born in San Diego, so his bicultural, bilingual background helps make La Prensa San Diego an effective medium to talk to and for the Latino community.

After more than seven years of planning, designing and licenses in governmental organizations in both countries, in December 2015, the first bridge that directly connects a building in United States with a foreign airport terminal began operating.

Cross Border Xpress will offer services to more than two million users annually, making a faster transfer for travelers who use the facilities of the International Airport of Tijuana to travel from or to the United States, faster. According to estimates, this border concept will create growth opportunities in the facilities of the airport in a 40%, with the

appearance of new lines of transportation that go to Tijuana as an alternative solution to the busy Airport of San Diego.

This will promote the image and infrastructure of Baja California as a vital center of binational air services, creating conditions of competitiveness and expectative of economic growth in the region.

The formal inauguration of the bridge was carried out in March with the presence of the Chancellor Claudia Ruiz Massieu, Secretary of Foreign Affairs; Enrique de la Madrid, Secretary

Approximately 119 meters divide the Airport of Tijuana from the border of The United States; a length that can be easily crossed on foot in five minutes. Cross Border Xpress (cbx) is a closed binational bridge that offers to cross

the border in a faster and safer way, without obstacles.

CROSS BORDER XPRESS (CBX) THE FIRST BINATIONAL BRIDGE

TIJUANA - SAN DIEGO

“Our countries are united by history, but a joint future is what

unites us more.”

Enrique de la Madrid, Secretary of Tourism.


During the first trimester of 2016, the International Airport of Tijuana, with the operation of the cbx, increased 38% the offer of airplane seats in its network of current routes

of Tourism; Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, Secretary of Communications and Transport; Francisco Arturo Vega de Lamadrid, Governor of Baja California; and Kevin Faulconer, Mayor of San Diego.

In order to use the facilities of the Cross Border Xpress, and to avoid the long rows with unexpected delays of the terrestrial ports of entrance of San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, the users will only be required to present their boarding pass for the Airport of Tijuana, ticket cbx, and passport or valid visa.

The crossing bridge constitutes an excellent opportunity for the increase of users of national airlines that connect with the International Airport of Tijuana, which offers 30 destinations in Mexico and the world, including direct flights to Shanghai and Oakland.

Within the facilities of cbx is installed the Office of Customs and Border Protection of the United

States, as well as duty free stores. In addition, in the Mexican side, it is located the Office of Immigration and Customs.

The binational bridge Cross Border Xpress is the result from the collaboration between the governments of Mexico and the United States in their commitment to modernize and optimize the border relations between both countries; serving as example of diplomatic relations around the world.

NUBE

REVOLUTIONIZING AN INDUSTRY IN MEXICO

The Internet of Things (IoT) revolutionized the industry of liquefied gas; the vital input for industries, stores and homes. Nube is born with the goal of providing gas companies with the necessary tools to optimize their commercial, logistics and distribution areas. Its technology and model look to improve the operation and quality of the service, as well as the transparency for its clients. Thanks to the vision of its founder, Chris Gnanakone, Nube

represents a great step for the industry of liquefied gas and a pride for Jalisco.


First Iot platform in mexico.

The idea emerged in Mexico and it is the first IoT platform that is made by engineers from Jalisco, in the Mexican Silicon Valley.

Nube emerges from the need of establishing the supply of domestic, commercial and industrial gas as an innovating, open, immediate and proved process for suppliers and consumers. This initiative already has a patent in United States, strong investors and a powerful team of professionals from Mexico.

The development and positioning of this pioneer product is possible thanks to the introduction of IoT technology, which allows the digital and remote interconnection to different objects, such as air conditioning or lightning, as well as basic services, such as electricity or gas consumption, simplifying daily life and revolutionizing the industry.

Latest technology in smart living.

The control of distribution chains and marketing of the product will be carried out through a gear linked to the internet. Consumers will be able to know their exact gas consumption and order the refueling through an application, according to their needs; moreover, the supply companies will reduce their costs by knowing their demand in real time.

For this reason, the main beneficiary is the supplier because thanks to the characteristics of the gear and the app, the company will be able to give efficient services, increase its quality index and avoid delays and cancelations.

The gears of Nube track the gas level expressed as percentage and pass this information, along with the available charge of the gear, to the Nube service, provided by Sierra Wireless through an integrated identity module of gsm (sim). Therefore, the fears and distrusts of the ruling gas industry in the country will be eliminated.

Thus, every day, this service will send a measuring of the tank level to the commercial service, and weekly to the personal services.

(+52) (33) 2001 6828www.nube.gs

contributing to the comprehensive development of the country.

Technology applied correctly to solve a need, allows the support of the economic development of a specific sector.

Nube brings solutions for the specific needs of the Mexican market in two dimensions; first, to the consumer, since it will provide the necessary tools to make timely informed choices aboutthe provided quantity and the exact price; and to the industry and commerce, by offering them quality, transparency, immediacy and control over the refueling.

This way, in addition of creating jobs and providing experience in IoT platforms to the labor force, the reputation of Mexico in the technological sector will increase, and Guadalajara will continue with its position asthe capital of innovation.

Nube is synonym of social commitment. The real gas consumption can be a great obstacle in daily life because the cylinders of liquid petroleum gas (lpg) are located in places that are hard to reach. By implementing the technology of Nube, the quality of life and economy of homes improves.

Therefore, Nube is committed to face the regional opportunity areas in terms of the technological gap through the financing, training and protection of intellectual property. Today, Nube is a revolutionary idea for the country, which arrives

to change the way in which basic services are seen in Mexico. Thanks to the geographical position, communication routes and mental labor, Nube found in Jalisco an enabling environment to overcome the obstacles created by the lack of technology, as well as to show its creations and initiative at international level.

SECTION LEADORTOURISM

On a global scale, tourism has great economic impact and the tendency is that its contribution keeps growing. To have an idea o this, it is expected that the hospitality sub-sector, only, will generate an revenue of 550 billion dollars in 2016, an amount that is equivalent

to the size of complete economies such as Sweden or Argentina.

TOURISM ASECONOMIC PLATFORM

OF THE COUNTRY

- Enrique de la Madrid Cordero, Secretary of Tourism. -

Mexico is not the exception, in fact, we are among the leader countries, since in the last years we have established the tourism activity as one of the sectors with greater impact in our economy. In 2014, the tourism represented 8.5% of the gdp, surpassing other important sectors such as the construction, mining, primary or financial, and insurance services, as well as presenting a significant greater growth rate to the rest of the economy.

In the matter of currency generation for the country, tourism had a growth of 37% in the period of 2012-2015, and in this last year, 17,457 million dollars were registered. This is a new historical maximum, whereas the tourism balance in 2015 had its greater historical surplus; ascending up to 7,356.7 million dollars. That is 11,4% more than in 2014, and 71.4% more than the one in 2012.

As job creator, the tourism activity represents a source of employment for 3,803,000 people in a direct form, and the unwto estimates that it employs other 5,633,000 in an indirect form. In the last decade, tourism has created nearly 800,000 direct jobs and an estimate of 1,200,000 in an indirect form; this means more jobs than any other representative sectors like the primary and the automotive sector.

In addition, the sector has a high employability in vulnerable sectors; it is the first employer of young people in proportional terms (20.3%); the second employer of women (56.8%); and third employer in the Southeast of the country (24.8%). At regional level, tourism receives a greater relevance, there are states whose GDP depends on this activity in a greater way, like Quintana

Roo and Baja California Sur, where it represents 77% and 53% respectively. Or states with a high degree of marginalization, like Guerrero, where the tourist gdp is 36% of the total, and where the activity represents a great opportunity of social development.

These numbers prove that tourism is one of the great success stories of our country in economic matters; not only have we managed to revert the stagnation that experienced the sector until before 2013, but last year, we obtained record numbers in the main indicators.

Specifically in 2015, the country received an historical maximum of 32.1 million international tourists, which strengthened our first place position in Latin America, and our place within the Top Ten of the world’s tourism, where we went from the tenth to the ninth place. Not only have we been successful internationally, but also the domestic tourism –which represents around 88% of tourist consumption- generated more than 83 million hotel registrations; another historical record thanks to a 11.4% growth in relation to 2012.

Results show the effort made to increase the competitiveness of our destinations through actions in the matter of infrastructure, investment, promotion, innovation and diversification of the offer. But it is also necessary to say that, in this sense, there is still a great growth potential given the variety of attractions that our country has; since there are economies with similar size than ours where the tourism contributes in a still greater proportion, like the Spaniard, where tourism gdp represents 12% of the total.

VisitMexico has stood out by its creative campaigns, which include videos and physical activities, that had nearly 18 million visitors in 2015, as well as 5.6 million followers in social networks.

Mexico and the Cirque du Soleil: Luzia

Mexico in partnership with Cirque Du Soleil presented the launching of “Luzia” as part of this year’s promotional campaigns to identify projects of major significance that contribute to the dissemination of our country’s tourist attractions in different world scenarios. “Luzia” is a world-class circus inspired in the Mexican history, music and culture.

Luzia is the combination of the Spanish words luz and lluvia (light and rain), and it is the first show in the history of the company that is inspired in a country. It will go through 450 cities across the world for at least seven years and it will have 45 actors from 15 different countries, among which

5 are Mexican. The total investment was 47.5 million dollars and it is expected to cover around five markets per year.

Business tourism

Not all strategies are directed towards holiday destinations. Business tourism has established as an attractive sector for the international industry. It is estimated that this niche spends 53% more than tourists that travel for pleasure.

In 2015, Mexico hosted 206 international conferences, forty one events more than 2014. Guadalajara, Cancún and Mexico are the leaders in this area. It is estimated that the business industry creates 800,000 jobs per year with a hotel occupancy of 29.6 million rooms.

Results and efforts of the different levels of the government have established the country as an attractive tourist destination; one that is safe, sustainable and competitive. Grupo Auge analyzed the progress achieved by this sector and the possibilities that result of the work done in the country by the current government.

According to the World Tourism Organization (unwto) Mexico holds the 9th position regarding the visits of international travelers and the 17th in currency income. This represents a 9.5% increase, more than twice the world’s growth in 2015.

In the past edition of anato Tourism Showcase 2016, Enrique de la Madrid, ministry of tourism, stated that in spite of the economic phenomenon that our country faces, the exchange rate has been an incentive for the attraction of international travelers that see Mexico as an attractive and affordable destination. This will allow the tourism to strengthen as one of the main motors of economy, by registering in 2015 incomes of 17457 billion dollars.

SECTION LEADORCULTURE

After the closure in 2011 of the facilities of Sala Anguiano Rutas, located in the former Municipal Palace of Tijuana, the board in charge decided to create an innovating program where everyone could see the works of art donated by the widow of Raúl Anguiano. This led

to the creation of the first “homeless museum” of the border called Arte en la Industria.

ART IN THEMEXICAN INDUSTRY

THE PRESENCE OF ARTIN THE WORK PLACE

- José Galicot Behar. President and founder of Tijuana Innovadora. -

The program began with exhibitions in important textile factories of the health and electronic sector, with the goal of approaching art in a subtle and recreational way to work places without affecting the company’s production. For the first time, those who do not usually go to cultural centers, now have the privilege to see and get to know about high quality works of art, which they can share with their loved ones during the family weekends organized by the companies.

Arte en la Industria expands its horizons and now it is everywhere. It has spread throughout the community thanks to the phenomenon of Tijuana Innovadora, which is present in schools and companies that have opened their doors to this innovating concept, such as Medtronic, Carefusion in their plants of Tijuana and San Diego, ca; Turbotec, djo Global, 3d Robotics, Plantronics, CST and Foxconn, among others.

It has such an influence that in the places where it has been displayed, places concerning art have been named after the program. Examples of this are: El pasillo del arte, in the Carefusion company; Galería Raúl Anguiano in Universidad de

las Californias Internacionales (udci); Sala Raúl Anguiano in Medtronic; Galería Bustamante in Grand Tijuana Hotel and El Rincón del arte in municipal libraries. An outstanding aspect is that the program increases its presence in more places, reason why it requires a greater collection. In 2013, they had 440 works, which by 2015 increased to 565, and in 2016, it is expected to have a total of 750 works in order to reach more sites in a simultaneous way.

RELIGIOUS TOURISMLATENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE CULTURAL TOURISM INDUSTRY

With 84 cathedrals and 196 churches, historical and former convents, Mexico has a wealthy cultural and artistic wealth that establishes it among the most important religious tourist

destinations in the world.


National and international pilgrimages promote the intercultural dialogue and contribute to the tangible and intangible protection of its sanctuaries, fostering the development of the communities where they are established and offering their guests enriching spiritual experiences.

Mexico, a country characterized by a deep devotion since pre-Columbian times, has carried out projects that have established sacred places throughout its territory. Nowadays, there is a great variety of destinations –dedicated to Virgin Mary or not- for the religious tourism, where the pilgrim will feel a deep welcome from the community. This welcoming will allow the pilgrim to strengthen the faith and find the long-awaited interior peace.

The most outstanding national destinations by number of tourists per year are: Basilica de Guadalupe in Mexico city, Basilica Catedral de Nuestra Señora de San Juan de los Lagos in Jalisco and the Santuario del Santo Niño de Atocha in Zacatecas.

Currently, the religious tourism stands out as a staying of 2-3 nights, determined by significant dates that relate to the festivities of a saint or the Virgin.

Sixty four per cent are national tourists that come mainly from the states of Mexico city, Puebla, Guerrero, Jalisco, Oaxaca and Chihuahua. The remaining tourists come from United States, Spain, Colombia, Germany and Argentina.

As recipients of around 34 million visitors per year, the requirements of this sector have contributed to the fast development in the areas of hotels, restaurants, finances and agencies, as well as a powerful commerce of religious articles.

Most visited religious facilities per year:

17 million tourists- Basilica de Guadalupe,

Mexico city.

6 million tourists- St Peter’s Basilica,

Vatican.

7 million tourists- San Juan de Los Lagos,

Jalisco.

6 million tourists- Our lady of Lourdes,

France.

6 million tourists- Pio of Pietrelcina, Italy.

According to the World Tourism

Organization (unwto),

the religious tourism creates

an economic income of over

17 billion dollars per year.


Set deep in the region of Los Altos de Jalisco, San Juan de los Lagos was established in 1542 by Fray Miguel de Bolonia, who brought a small missionary image of the Virgin of The Immaculate Conception; which would

later start a tradition that still remains and has turned into the tourist destination of the municipality.

SAN JUAN DE LOS LAGOS PROMOTING THE RELIGIOUS TOURISM

The image is originally from Pátzcuaro, from the xvi century, and its height is around 50 cm. The Virgin is standing with the hands together in the chest, as a symbol of Immaculate conception. She wears a blue cape filled with stars.

In her back, the semicircle that represents the holiness is held by two angels that hold a blue cord around the head of the Virgin with the inscription of mater inmaculata ora pro nobis (Holy Mother pray for us).

Her mythic story begins in 1623, when she brought back to life the daughter of a family of acrobats, who died when she fell on a sword. To show their gratitude, the father promised to restore the image of the Virgin, because according to the story and the locals, the atrium where the image stood since its arrival in 1542, was damaged and the image began to deteriorate. He completed his mission and the current image in the church is the same that the one that the father of the resurrected girl restored.

San Juan de los Lagos receives more than 7 million travelers per year, establishing as one of the most visited

cities in the world as a religious tourism.


Over the years and with the royal authorization to populate San Juan de los Lagos with Spaniard families, from 1633 the miracles started to gain popularity and followers. The image of the virgin has been located in three different places: first, since 1641 in the Capilla del Primer Milagro, built by Diego de Camarena; then, since 1682 it was in what is now known as Parroquia de San Juan Bautista; and finally since 1769 it is located in the current basilica, which was built by orders of the bishop of Guadalajara, Carlos de Cervantes, and in 1972 obtained the name of cathedral.

Regarding its architecture, the interior of the basilica-cathedral is one of the most beautiful that exists in Mexico with a Doric order above a Latin cross with gothic ribbed vaults, a great height and amazing golden decorations. Its façade is a good example of the transition between the baroque and neoclassic style. The Virgin is displayed from her altar, built in pink quarry from the region.

Its location and the favorable quality of the highway (around 145 km from Guadalajara), the Basilica receives around 7 million pilgrims each year, which makes it the second sanctuary in Auge in Mexico, only after the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, in Mexico City. At international level, it establishes at the level of the Sanctuary of the Virgen of Lourdes in france.

Even though it is a center that receives hundreds of devotees and visitors each day, the religious festivities with more followers are the Purificación de la Santísima Virgen María and Fiesta de la Candelaria (January 23 and February 2), with 2 million visitors that come mainly from Estado de Mexico, Mexico City and Guanajuato.

GASTRONOMY AUGE OF MEXICOGROWTH AND COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP

A great amount of the Mexican culinary art is protected by designation of origin due to its strong connection with the ancestral values and knowledge about the transformation of food. In addition, it has promoted its warm, global and attracting image that establishes Mexico as a tourist destination of first level.

At the forefront of international tendencies, the tourism sector takes advantage of gastronomy as a motor of local development by offering its guests, whether national or foreign, the possibility to discover different flavors and the elaboration techniques of over a hundred years old that can’t be found anywhere else. This is because everything is mixed in the Mexican kitchens; from the effort and victories of centuries before to memories and family anecdotes.

Cooking and the praxis around it don’t only appear in the form of cultural identification, but they also imply a wealthy economy of taste that manifest in the infrastructure of the restoration and the food industry of the country. This culinary production has obtained favorable results at international level, mainly in products such as cookies, cacao, candies, fruits and sweets. It is to say that Mexican food has indulged many palates around the world.

Without a doubt, the central axis that rules and puts together this diversity is the triad of the cornfield –maize, beans and chili- since these are found in every stage of the Mexican food development, from pre-Hispanic myths to almost every dish in the Mexican diet. This triad, as well as the chocolate are considered to be essential food because of their nutritional values and their

The gastronomy in Mexico has known how to standout in the world as an identity component, creator of authentic experiences that invite all palates to know and recognize the majesty of our country in each

dish. Proof of this is the inclusion of this tradition as Intangible Cultural Heritage by unesco in 2010.

properties to transmute with other ingredients, thus, creating scents, colors, flavors and textures that are unmistakable and unequalled. In Mexico only, the diner is the taster and the cooker at the same time, because they are allowed to choose the complements; obtaining this way a personalized result.

Mexican gastronomy is more than just mole, sauces, tamales and tortillas; it is an ancestral foundation that endures through time and feeds back according to the demands of the modern world. Culinary art is in Auge, satisfying the most demanding palates and achieving and encountering with the live, transcendental and historical spirit that characterizes Mexico.


From Baja California to Yucatán, our country has a gastronomic heritage that is enjoyed in every bite. Sea cuisine, millenarian drinks and traditional familiar recipes have shaped a culinary art that distinguishes Mexico

from other countries.

Grupo Auge with the guidance of the Ministry of Tourism visited the 18 gastronomic routes that form the panorama of the Mexican Cuisine, an Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Humanity granted by unesco.

cas is aware that a varied, balanced and homemade seasoning diet; a friendly environment; and a human and personalized service are key to the efficient production; thus, they are constantly updating their menus, service processes and food safety. Moreover, concerned about diner’s health and wealth, cas offers special diets for employees with medical conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes; for those with a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle; and those concerned about their calories intake.

One of their competitive advantages is having a consolidated organizational structure with marketing, management and quality control areas—this last, in charge of auditing and verifying that safety and hygiene standards are in accordance with the Official Standards in force—a physician, a nutritionist and a executive chef, whose main task is to design complete and varied menus biannually.

It should also be noted that once in a month special menus and settings are planned to break out the routine and celebrate special festivities like Valentine’s Day.

With an experience of providing service to dining rooms for 3 and 4 thousand diners a day, cas supports talent and generates jobs locally contributing to increase Mexicans’ quality of life. In this regard, by the end of December this year, cas expects an employee workforce of 500 highly qualified people and around 2 thousand indirect jobs.

Mexico, holder of the first vineyard in the American continent, has preserved the authenticity of its wine heritage through the combination of edge-technology and mental labor in the elaboration of more than 200

types of wine that has been internationally multi-awarded.

WINE TOURISM THE ART OF THE MEXICAN WINE

Wine tourism has drawn the attention of the Mexican investment because it has been demonstrated that it provides a firm base to promote the economic development of the winegrowing regions of the country by creating new and numerous jobs while securing its historical and cultural heritage through the connection with the tourist communities where they are located.

The country’s wine tourism experience has no equal because it offers unique landscapes, walks through vineyards and the direct contact with

wine experts and the production methods to discover colors, aromas and textures that only the Mexican wine can offer.The wine routes in the country lodge many great international companies, as well as a wide offer of companies, mostly familiar companies, producers of craft wine.

The European Union, cradle of the greatest wine producers, has recognized a great potential in Mexico for the winegrowing infrastructure development due to the high quality of the grapes

National warehouses export their products to more than 30 countries.


Wine is produced in certain parts of

the world that meet specific ground,

climate and geologic characteristics.

This is best known as the “Wine strip”,

which is located between latitude

30º north and 50º south, geographically

speaking.

that emanate from its ground and the technological process in the elaboration of the drink.

The state of Baja California establishes as a benchmark in the matter by lodging 90% of the national wine production. Its prestige comes not only because its territory is located within the “strip of wine”, but also because their producers have decided to undertake in the path of innovation and constant training.

Baja California lodges the first and main “Wine Route” in Mexico, which has 23 of the 32 wine producers and winegrowing in the region. In the Wine Route you can visit the producers, a great variety of restaurants, hotels, museums, art galleries and craft centers, while enjoying the festivities around the wine drinking and harvest, such as the “Festival de la Vendimia”.

Mexico opens its vineyards and wine cellars to wine lovers, professionals and connoisseurs as well as to amateurs; inviting them to discover a unique wine that feeds, cures and energizes.


Creating economic income for the different involved productive chains, the first Tequila Traveling Museum in the world (midt) arrives with the concept of “Tequi-Bus”; a unique strategy

that combines digital platforms and edge-technology with tradition and culture of tequila.

TEQUI-BUS

THE FIRST TEQUILA TRAVELING MUSEUM

IN THE WORLD


SmarttourismThe objective of “Tequi-Bus” is to offer the opportunity, to the tourist and visitor, to live a unique experience and to know the origin of the ancient drink of tequila; saving the person more than 5 hours, because in just 25 minutes, the visitor will get to know everything about the processes, folklore, mariachi and the region’s traditional drinks.

Through rooms and first-level facilities with smart screens, the different processes of tequila making, mezcal and table wine will be known. In addition, a real mini-distiller will offer tasting to the assistants.

InnovationandtechnologyforthetourismsectorThe Tequila Traveling Museum will hit the economic development of the state of Jalisco in its first stage, to later extend its influence area to other states through franchises.

General Director, Lic. Armando Sánchez Kotasek developed this project from the beginning; investigating the different cultures in a surrounding that can be applied with technology, folklore, gastronomy and flavor of tequila.

The contribution of MIDT has social, cultural, educational and commercial benefits for the manufacturers of tequila, agronomy, glass industry, packing, textile, and tourism, among others. It will generate a great expectation for the product commercialization and diffusion of cultural spaces, thus, activating the local economy and improving the life quality of each region.

SECTION LEADOREDUCATION

A university must think and act to the needs of a globalized and postmodern society that characterizes by rapid changes, high competitiveness, and massive circulation of information and abolition of frontiers. Its millenary vocation of training people for their own improvement and the planet’s becomes the impelling platform to change and transform into the society that we all want. It is in this reality where we must re-address the university education towards a

new inspiration with the goal of giving fair and appropriate answers.

COMPREHENSIVE AND QUALITY COLLEGE EDUCATION

AS STIMULUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENTOF NATIONS

- By Presbyter Francisco Ramírez Yáñez, Rector of univa. -

The direction that we have chosen in Universidad del Valle de Atemajac (univa) is to have an impact in the transformation of society through the education of students with integrity that are committed to their source communities. We believe that it is there where a true change can be done; the change that we need. We hope that the actions of our students can have a positive impact in the development of the regions where we are present.

My bet as President of the Federation of Private Mexican Institutions of Higher Education (fimpes by its Spanish acronym) is to achieve a comprehensive training of quality in universities too.

The 110 joint private institutions of higher education have committed with the nation by getting involved in the continuous improvement and assurance of the criteria established by our accreditation system.

Currently, there are 36 schools that have reached the record of excellence, granted by the Ministry of Public Education in recognition to their educational quality and for reaching the maximum result in accreditation “lisa y llana”.

As President of the Organization of Catholic Universities in Latin America and the Caribbean (oducal by its Spanish acronym), I have the commitment, along with the 102 associated universities, of developing activities of collaboration that are addressed towards the improvement of the quality of comprehensive education, as well as to strengthen the research activities and community service. In this Latin American university we will continue to improve the main task, which is to seek the truth and create meeting platforms between faith and reason, through dialogue, as instruments that contribute to the improvement of social and cultural conditions in our countries.

The main purpose of my commitment with college education in univa, fimpes and oducal, is the comprehensive training of youth, because they will guide our destiny as a country and as Latin American continent. College students are the hope that we have for being better human beings and being responsible of our physical and social environment. They are the current and future leaders, who with their aspirations, work and commitment, will make a better place of coexistence, harmony and peace.

SECTION LEADORHEALTH

Mexico has great resources that have presented it to the world as a mandatory tourist destination. This concept is expanding and specializing in the different commercial sectors of the industry; establishing as leader in the niche of medical and welfare tourism thanks to the Auge of the medical sector, which now offers a great infrastructure in diverse specializations of plastic and bariatric surgery, ophthalmology, dentistry, advanced medicine and oncology, among others.

MEXICO: GLOBAL DESTINATIONOF THE MEDICAL TOURISM

- By Dr. Ricardo Vega-Montiel, President of the Medical, Dental and Hospital Cluster of Baja California. -

Where does the proliferation for the medical tourism comes from? Currently, people are seen as entities in multiple facets and the dynamic of competitiveness requires the acquisition of better tools for the daily performance. In this way, the importance of having the feeling of wellbeing and individual satisfaction grows day by day. This means that it is necessary to maintain a level of self-esteem that is rewarding enough to contribute to a good level of competitiveness.

On the other hand, beauty is related to wellbeing and the best practices for life style. In this context, some alternatives can help to improve the situation of self-perception, and go from banality to being a necessity. This is where the exploration of alternatives that can meet this need and desire begins; resulting in a growing industry that combines health and welfare services with tourism.

There is a close and dynamic relationship with the medical tourism in the border zone. Baja California, specially, has a very special place in the mind of the binational citizen that looks for quality, convenience and warmth of the health services.

Currently, this region receives more than 1 million foreign patients thanks to its capacity in the network of primary and complementary services that meet the needs and possibilities of almost every segment.

Medical tourism is considered as one of the most important industries in the region, which in 2013 registered a direct economic income of 47.5 and an indirect economic income of 19.3 million dollars. It is worth mentioning that 61% of this income was registered just in the city of Tijuana, which is the capital of this sector in Mexico. In this year, the sector continues is constant growth, and, it is estimated that the number of economic income will surpass the 1 billion pesos.

Baja California is the first state in Mexico with a public policy exclusively for the medical tourism. This only represents the beginning of the reinforcement of the sector, which will shortly be imitated in other states thanks to the current initiative federal legislative level to boost this industry, which is currently emerging in the cities of Guadalajara, Cancún, Puerto Vallarta and Monterrey, among others.


SECTION LEADORHEALTH

“Baja California is the first state in Mexico with a public policy exclusively for the medical tourism.”


The industry of the medical tourism has become a relevant economic subject in the world. In the state of Baja California only, more than 1.2 million visitors from the United States and

Canada, arrive in search of medical, dental and pharmaceutical services.

Médicos Nacionales s. A. de c. v. (simnsA) made the impossible possible. Eighteen years ago, and for the first time in history, a Mexican company was allowed to offer health services

to American citizens in Mexico.

SIMNSA

LEADER IN THE MEDICALTOURISM INDUSTRY


In the state of California, simnsa obtained the license of Binational Health care, and thus, in 1999 it became the first and only Mexican health company to be certified by the Health Department of California.

With a network of more than 400 physicians, specialized in the different branches of medicine, simnsa insures one hundred thousand people, mostly residents of Tijuana who work in San Diego. It is also the exclusive provider for companies such as Healthnet, Aetna, Blue Cross and now Scripps, a renowned hospital company.

Currently, the tower has eight floors for clinical services, which include primary and specialized attention, a complete dental clinic, stem cells with cutting-edge technology, an ambulatory surgical center, medical spa, radiology and a laboratory.

The success of simnsa lies in its training and infrastructure. Their facilities have cutting-edge technology and the quality of its bilingual service has no equal. In addition, its system of diagnosis comprises a digital platform with electronic files for each of its patients.

This has resulted in the next opening of its own Binational Hospital with an investment of more

than 150 million dollars. Located only blocks away of the border of San Ysidro-Tijuana, it will start operating by the end of 2017. The hospital will be one of the biggest and most modern hospitals in the Northwest of Mexico and will be a member of the Health Plan and Scripps Health, two of the most renowned medical institutions in the world. With this strategy, the medical tourism will have an increase of 30%, representing an economic income of a billion dollars per year.

simnsa’s innovation and administrative system have revolutionized the health tourism and welfare, establishing Mexico as the world leader.

HEALTH AUGE OF MEXICOGROWTH AND COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP

In the last years, Mexico has transformed in order to offer a wide variety of specialties and medical procedures to be up to the services offered in some developed countries. Thus, it has stopped being a country recognized by the services of dentistry, ophthalmology and cosmetic surgery that the border cities offer, to become a world-wide center for health treatments.

The medical tourism sector in Mexico incorporates hospitals with the latest technology with the governmental support, constituting itself with professional suppliers of tourist services and schools, as well as legal and commercial advice.

This connection allows the patient to organize health packages according to his or her needs and budget, characterized for its bilingual attention, transportation (round trips: origin city- destination city; shuttle: transportation hotel-hospital-hotel), medical expenses and accommodation; as well as some sightseeing of the most characteristic places of the state.

On the other hand, the association between hospitals and hotels near them is intended in order to make the project more inclusive. The main advantage that tourists of this sector find to be treated in Mexico is the cost, since the

Our country is seen as the leader in the health tourism due to its infrastructure on hospitals and transportation, as well as its regional competitiviness and highgly qualify medical staff.

Mexico has 12 programs certified by the JCI (Joint Commission International) and 122 hospitals certified by the Ministry of Federal Health and 115 of those have certified international standards. In addition, we have the tenth position in the world and the second at continental level in number of specialized doctors, with 62.3% of the total.

It is important to mention that Mexico not only bets for the attention of patients with high income (like India and Brazil do), but it tries to diversify to offer solutions to medical problems of patients with different budgets, in an integral context of health that ties medicine with recovery activities, recreation and relaxation, that only the varied climate of the country and the hospitality of their people can offer.
