A dynamic, diversified, and globally connected economy with sustainable roots.

Jalisco is one of Mexico’s economic powerhouses — a state defined by innovation, resilience, and global integration. Contributing over 8% of the national GDP, and exporting USD 30 billion annually. Jalisco is a leader in advanced manufacturing, information technologies, agribusiness, automotive and semiconductors. With consistent growth, a robust export base, and a culture of entrepreneurship, Jalisco offers international investors a reliable and sustainable business environment.

The Economic Engine of Western Mexico

For more than six decades, Jalisco has led Mexico’s transformation into a global center for technology, design, and advanced manufacturing. From electronics and semiconductors to agribusiness and healthcare, Jalisco’s economy is driven by innovation, with clusters like Jalisco High Tech fostering collaboration among universities, companies, and government.

Consistent Growth and Stability

Located at the heart of North America, Jalisco combines a strategic geographic position with solid macroeconomic fundamentals and strong institutional stability. The state has maintained steady GDP growth above the national average—averaging around 4 % annually over the last decade—and consistently outperforms the rest of Mexico. Its business-friendly environment, diversified production base, and prudent fiscal management have paid off: in 2025 Fitch Ratings elevated Jalisco to a “AAA (mex)” credit rating, the highest attainable in the country. These factors underscore Jalisco’s economic stability and predictability for long-term investors.

Global Trade and Competitiveness

The state’s strategic connectivity — through the Pacific Port of Manzanillo, the Guadalajara International Airport and the Puerto Vallarta International Airport — enables seamless access to U.S., Latin American, and Asia-Pacific markets. The Manzanillo Port cuts logistics times by 20% for EV exports, strengthening Jalisco’s competitiveness in global value chains.

Investment Confidence

International investors recognize Jalisco for its institutional reliability and high-quality workforce. Hosting Foxconn, Haitian, AstraZeneca, Bosch, Oracle, Intel, Flex and 500+ multinationals, Jalisco ranks among the Top 5 FDI destinations in Mexico, hosting hundreds of multinational companies that continue to expand and reinvest.
