Emmanuel Loo, head of the Ministry of Economy of Nuevo León, announced that the state will host the first humanoid robot factory in Mexico, a project that is part of the robust innovation and advanced manufacturing ecosystem the state is promoting under the vision of Industry 4.0.
Although the name of the company that will lead this initiative has not yet been revealed, Loo emphasized that the project represents a new era for the state’s technology and manufacturing industries.
Industrial Robotics: New Economic Engine for Nuevo León
“Very soon, we will be announcing several projects in the Industry 4.0 sector, robotics, and humanoid robots for industry. We’re not just talking about robots with industrial applications, like the famous Spot from Boston Dynamics, but rather an ecosystem that is growing by leaps and bounds in automation and technological development,” the official stated.
He also highlighted that Nuevo León is not only home to some of the largest factories in the world, but also the most innovative and automated, with comprehensive processes that include design, product development, software, hardware, and logistics. One example is ZF, a company that decided to integrate its entire technological and design architecture within a single complex in the state.
Nearshoring and Innovation: The State’s Industrial Strengths
For his part, Juan Porras Brambila, treasurer of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers (CONCAMIN), who also participated in the discussion entitled “Strategic Sectors and Industrial Policy: Opportunities of Plan Mexico,” held at the GTI Summit, recognized Nuevo León’s leadership as “the cradle and center of innovation in manufacturing nationwide,” highlighting its strategic role in attracting investment and its ability to capitalize on the global reorganization of supply chains.
In this way, Nuevo León strengthens its role as a key hub in the development of emerging technologies and as a national example of how nearshoring, automation, and innovation can be integrated into a strong and growing economic ecosystem.
