REGIONAL STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Proyecto Chihuahua Siglo XXI

Transformando Campeche

Noroeste Gran Alianza

Regions (states, groups of municipalities, groups of states) are the basis for the economic development of any country.

Differences in progress between regions are based on what regional leaders do to stimulate regional development, and on the constitution of a specialized economic infrastructure that supports the expansion of economic clusters.

Great innovations have appeared in the area of Regional Economic Development.

Alderete y Socios Consultoría Industrial, S.C., as a result of its involvement in diverse regional development processes –some of them considered as national or international models– has been a recipient and developer of state-of-the-art technologies for regional development.

Through joint work with companies such as Economic Competitiveness Group and Economic Transformation Group, ASCI has remained updated in the field and able to collaborate with innovations in the area.

The major elements in a process of regional development are:

Analysis of the economic challenge faced by the region

Detection of regional economic clusters

Analysis on the competitiveness and economic tendencies of the clusters

Participation process

Problems and opportunities

Long-term vision of the cluster

Generation of action initiatives

Implementation of action initiatives.
