Mexico is a leader and a referent in advanced manufacturing. It is also Latin America’s main exporter of medium and high technology. The country has created a favourable environment to attract investment and develop talent, which has allowed it to strengthen the necessary productive capacities to foster Mexican industries competitiveness both domestically and abroad. A key element to this process has been the ease with which new and superior technologies are adopted, increasing the possibilities to create even greater value. However, in a fast-changing political and economic international context and amidst revolutionary technological changes, Mexico is facing greater challenges to remain a competitive player in global supply chains.

In the digital era, technological innovation entails significant changes in the way goods and services are produced. The current approach to new industrial technologies is focused on generating, gathering, processing, and managing large amounts of data. In manufacturing, this translates into a new productive paradigm: Industry 4.0 (i4.0). Advances such as the Internet of Things, system integration, process automation through collaborative robots, virtual and augmented reality, cloud computing, and big data simulation and analysis software give way to a new type of hyper-flexible manufacturing, which can adapt quickly to changes ...ProMéxico in the market and the different requirements of each process, from design to marketing. has conducted With that in mind, ProMéxico has conducted several studies to identify capabilities, key pla- several studies yers, strategic projects, opportunity areas, and new trends in Mexican industries, to then im- to identify new prove their competitiveness. The current study main goal is to geographically identify clusters of those players taking part in and leading the development of i4.0-oriented advanced trends in manufacturing activities in Mexico. Mexican industries.. A competitiveness cluster is a group of actors from the triple helix (government, academia, and businesses) gathered in a common territory, who collaborate on innovative projects geared towards certain markets.1 These actors come from multinational companies, chambers of commerce, laboratories and, research centres to public institutions that support manufacturing. There are at least 35 competitiveness clusters distributed among 16 states in Mexico, that can be organised and classified according to the definition mentioned above and i4.0 parameters. Detailed information has been gathered for each of these clusters, such as their location, sector or industry, organisational structure, members, contact details, and relevant collaborative projects.

The findings included in this study provide descriptive data and updated contact details of key actors and synergies that conform Mexico’s industrial innovation ecosystem. Some of the clusters are still in their early development stages; whereas others have significant and fully-developed capacities. Thus, the document includes detailed information about the current i4.0 landscape in Mexico to promote the country among businesses, foreign governments, universities, and other players interested in manufacturing innovation.

4 CLUSTER IDENTIFICATION II. METHODOLOGY

As there are no previous exercises for identifying Mexican competitiveness clusters and their activities related to technological innovation, this document presents information gathered from primary and secondary sources. These sources include the innovation agendas drafted by the National Council for Science and Technology (Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología - CONACYT), local governments development plans, the National Institute of Entrepreneurs (Instituto Nacional del Emprendedor - INADEM), the official websites of the different economic development and promotion ministries, and ProMéxico’s roadmaps. Li- kewise, the information presented was validated by contacting either online or by telephone the different cluster´s representatives and companies. The data of each cluster is presented here in Fact Sheet, standardised in length and style.

To identify competitiveness clusters focused on industrial innovation, ProMéxico worked around five thematic axes covering key aspects of industrial productive processes with an i4.0 approach. In doing so, the entities were identified and classified according to their actor´s activities in the following classifications:

Research, development, Digital Automation Energy (industrial Industrial and technology factories integration, movement, efficiency and supply and control storage)

ProMéxico then applied three eligibility criteria. Thus, a cluster is defined as a competitiveness cluster if:

1 It is composed of groups or collectives representing triple helix actors, out of which at least one provides the cluster with a certain degree of cohesion and identity.

2 It is in a defined geographical area – be it a city, a metropolitan area or a state.

3 It offers several different forms of collaboration in line with the needs of its members and their respective markets.

5 The following chart summarises the five steps followed in preparation of the present work: conceptual precision of the activities to be considered, identification and validation of the different clusters, drafting of the clusters’ Fact Sheets, maps, and the present document. The sources consulted in each step are listed in the Bibliography.

6 CLUSTER LISTING, CLASSIFICATION III. AND DISTRIBUTION

Naturally, competitiveness clusters can be included in more than one subject classification. To solve this, ProMéxico set a specialisation for each cluster, according to their main activity area. Where necessary, the document also includes one or more subject sub-classifications based on those other areas covered by the cluster but that are not their main work focus. Likewise, ProMéxico included three clusters or consortia that function as a complementary institution to the clusters. Their relevance, as well as the reason for their inclusion, stems from the insertion of their technological and innovative capacities in several of the industries covered by the clusters.

The following table lists the names of the competitiveness clusters, together with the state where they are located, their specialisation, and their secondary topic areas.

15 GENERAL FINDINGS ABOUT V. MEXICO’S COMPETITIVENESS CLUSTERS As shown in the last map, the primary focus in Mexican competitiveness clusters is industrial supply, a topic area 16 clusters specialise in. This falls in line with the logic behind the idea of a ‘competitiveness cluster’, as their purpose is based on producing and marketing products that satisfy the needs of niche markets. In fact, competitiveness clusters specialised in this topic area gather large multinational companies and SMEs from the aerospace and automotive industries; two Mexican sectors that satisfy foreign demand. It is worth mentioning that there are many SMEs in the country, which serve as supplier base for large investments in the sector and that are expected to develop greater collaborative synergies that, in turn, help to create more clusters specialised in industrial supply.

The second most recurrent thematic axis research, development, and technology with eight specialised competitiveness clusters established around research centres, and both public and private universities. However, if those that hold research, development, innovation, as their secondary topic area are considered, then the total amounts to 23 competitiveness clusters; thus, becoming the most recurrent thematic axis. Although federal and state policies only recently started promoting R+D+i, the fact that, in absolute terms, most of the clusters work on these topic areas, demonstrates that Mexico is not only a manufacturing centre but also offers a favourable climate for research and design. Likewise, there are nine competitiveness clusters specialised in digital factories, where Information and Communication Technology plays a prominent role that is closely linked to the Internet of Things, an essential requirement for establishing intelligent factories.

The study identified two clusters specialised in the thematic axis of automation integra- ...are expected tion, movement, and control. One of these focuses on the automotive industry, while the to develop other focuses on Information Technology, though both develop projects aimed at bolstering manufacturing processes automation. It is also worth mentioning that none of the compe- greater titiveness clusters specialises in energy efficiency and storage. This could be due to the collaborative fact that in Mexico, energy issues usually revolve around hydrocarbons and renewable elec- synergies... tricity production. Despite this, park-like clusters in Mexico also utilise wind and solar energy to satisfy their own energy needs. There are still plenty of opportunities for development and implementation of industrial energy efficiency and storage technologies.

Geographically, most clusters are in the northern, central, and norther-central regions of the country; which coincides with the historical manufacturing specialisation of these regions that is now focused on export production. The four states with the most competitiveness clusters, classified only by their primary topic area are: Nuevo León (6); Que- rétaro (4); Baja California (4); and Chihuahua (4). By contrast, as this economic activity is not predominant in the south-eastern region of the country, there are no clusters working on any of the thematic axes analysed.

According to their organisational modalities, there are 22 competitiveness clusters; in fact, given that the study searched for articulated agglomerations with a common identity, proximity, recognition, and projects, it is only natural for the notion of ‘industry clusters’ to conceptually overlap with that of ‘competitiveness clusters; thus, making them harder to identify. In addition, fostering competitiveness through cluster development has been en-

16 couraged by government policies throughout this century. Unlike industry clusters, competitiveness clusters necessarily work under a triple helix approach (including government agencies, businesses, chambers of commerce, universities, and research centres), so much so that, without government or academia participation, a business cluster would not be a competitiveness cluster. Another organisational modality falls under the category of ‘initiatives’; such is the case of noteworthy collaborative synergies that have not yet been established under a formal articulation body and representation. ProMéxico has identified eight such cases. A third and final modality entails the existence of a physical space, commonly referred to as technological or scientific ‘park’, where the competitiveness clusters’ members conglomerate. This document identifies six of such cases.

Sector wise, ProMéxico has observed a greater concentration of hubs working in the following areas: Information Technology (18), automotive (11), metal-mechanic (10), and aerospace (9). These sectors have been recognised by the governments of the states of Baja California, Nuevo León, Aguascalientes, Querétaro, and Jalisco as strategic sectors given their economic importance and their scientific-technological potential; thus, governments have ...these actively encouraged their development through different public policies fostering R+D+i, te- competitiveness chnology transfer, specialised training, and foreign investment. In doing so, these competitiveness clusters have been at the forefront of cutting-edge technology implementation and, clusters have therefore, are highly competitive in comparison with other domestic industries. been at the It is worth mentioning that the metal-mechanic industry goes hand in hand with the auto- FOREFRONT motive and aerospace sectors, as they all rely on forging and assembly. Other sectors found of cutting-edge are: electronics (4), nanotechnology (2), advanced materials (3), medical devices technology (5), energy (3), biotechnology (2), and telecommunications (2). A common denomi- nator in terms of collaboration, regardless of the industry, is the existence of educational and implementation... training programmes by both the academia and the private sector, and support schemes to establish competitive Tier 1 and Tier 2 supply companies.

Another finding worth mentioning that requires further validation is the fact that industrial innovation clusters are a fairly recent phenomenon in Mexico; indeed, 74% of the 35 competitiveness clusters analysed only began to operate during the last decade; that is, between 2007 and 2017. Furthermore, 91% of clusters came into existence during the 21st century. In fact, only three competitiveness clusters predate the turn of the century and all three of them count the electronics industry among their members, as it was one of the first industries to be boosted by the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Another interesting finding is that these competitiveness clusters are important sources of employment. On average, each groups 116 companies employing approximately 26,000 people. Even though some of these companies belong to labour intensive sectors, such as the maquila industries in Baja California and Chihuahua or the large automotive assembly plants in Guanajuato and San Luis Potosí, most of the companies are Small and Medium Enterprises. In terms of job quality, it would be fair to say that given the types of activities specialised in R+D, engineering, software development, etc., most of the jobs are qualified jobs; however, job quality was not within the scope of the present study and is an important topic, which could be expanded upon in a future study.

Although most of the competitiveness clusters are still at an initial stage formulating plans, articulating efforts, and generating new capacities, it is worth mentioning that there are more mature competitiveness clusters with clear strengths by virtue of the sum of their cor- porate, governmental, and academic members’ economic and human resources. Below are some of the most noteworthy cases:

Having made an important investment in developing the software industry since the turn of the century and having consistently invested in capacity building (training, equipment, and certification), Jalisco is ripe to expand its trade base and consolidate its infrastructure. Thus, Jalisco Information it is known for its high competitiveness. Technology Cluster (Polo de Tecnologías de Support by federal programmes, such as Prosoft, and the state government through the la Información State Council for Science and Technology and, more recently, the Secretariat of Innovation, de Jalisco) Science, and Technology, are bearing fruit and are helping to expand the outreach of Infor- mation Technology and other activities and sectors. Nowadays, the members of this competitiveness cluster are among the most relevant Mexican players in applying digital technologies to manufacturing.

Often dubbed the ‘Mexican Silicon Valley’, this pool has been fostered by the National Elec- tronics, Telecommunications, and Information Technology Chamber (CANIETI, for its Spani- sh acronym). In order to foster specialisation in productive chains articulation, CANIETI created the Electronic Productive Chain programme, which has successfully helped to develop regional suppliers.

The pool’s companies and CANIETI have promoted links with local higher education entities, such as the Technological and Higher Studies Institute of Monterrey, the Western Techno- logical and Higher Studies Institute, and the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, just to mention a few.

19 This might possibly be the best example of a competitiveness cluster born out of a brand new physical space that aggregated players around innovation. Fostered by the government Research & of Nuevo León, this park houses two types of research and development centres, both public Technological and private, and continues to grow in terms of guests.

InteQSoft Cluster (Clúster InteQSoft) Not only does the competitiveness cluster has a clear leadership and strategy, but it is also highly efficient in integrating academic and governmental efforts in numerous collaborative projects.

Unlike other aerospace clusters, Querétaro’s triple helix has boosted productive chain integration, linked with academia to train highly-skilled personnel, and created a geographical cluster that aggregates important players around the city’s international airport. Querétaro Aerospace Cluster Querétaro has a high concentration of research centres, which have also sought to articula- (Aeroclúster de Querétaro) te with the aerospace sector, especially the Querétaro Technology, Engineering, and Design Centre (CIATEQ) and the Electrochemical Technological Research and Development Centre (CIDETEQ).

20 VI. THEMATIC NETWORKS

Besides its competitiveness clusters, Mexico possesses thematic networks that bring together players interested in joining capacities to facilitate technological and innovative insertion in vertical industries, such as automotive and aerospace, and in less vertical ones, such as Information Technology and nanotechnology. There are 4 thematic networks working primarily around Industry 4.0’s technological research and development, each with their highly-specialised research axes linked to their own sectors. They come together in research centres, laboratories, and public and private universities, some within the clusters’ sphere of influence. Formally created and supported by the National Council of Science and Technolo- gy (CONACYT) during the last decade, their goal is to maximise the installed capacity of their members through communication networks and close collaboration, and thus strengthen their capacities with a market approach.

On the other hands, these networks also came into existence in response to the complexities of the normative framework that makes it difficult to create new public centres due to bud- getary constraints. In order to enhance their resource management and to generate higher impact projects, these satellite or sub-centre networks were created around already existing organisations so that they could collaborate with private companies in ways similar to those of the competitiveness clusters. Thus, these networks complement the work of competitiveness clusters as they coexist within their own scheme and, in addition, become an important link between clusters.
