The Governor of the US State of Utah, Spencer J. Cox said on Saturday that about twenty companies from his state are interested in investing in Nuevo León, in the north of the country, thanks to the certainty provided by the fact that a giant company like Tesla plans to open its next factory to manufacture electric cars in this region.

“The companies belong to different fields, many of them come from the manufacturing sector and that is why they have a lot of interest here and they are also from the technology, auto parts and artificial intelligence sector,” he said.
He explained that they are large companies looking to invest in Nuevo Leon in the near future.
He added, “At the present time, the (trade) exchange between Mexico and the state of Utah every year is 5,298 million euros, and I think we can double that very easily because there are many who invest in China and want to get out of there.” “Mexico is the best place,” he said.
The Governor of Utah stated that these businessmen are not worried about the issue of insecurity in the state because they have the assurance that Tesla has already explored different scenarios.
