*Mexico’s Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard has announced that investments of over US$612m have already been secured for new ‘wellbeing hubs’, industrial parks which attract investment via tax breaks and other support, in the states of Tlaxcala and Puebla. During a working tour to the states, Ebrard met with the state governors to sign agreements establishing the wellbeing hubs and spoke to confirmed and potential investors. Ebrard announced that the hub in Tlaxcala already had US$500m in confirmed investment and would be the first to open in 2026, while the hub in Puebla had an investment of M$2.1bn (US$111.6m). Ebrard stated that agreements had previously been signed to establish wellbeing hubs in the states of Michoacán, Quintana Roo, and Guanajuato, with the aim of establishing 15 hubs in the first phase of the project.
