brings together the private sector, academia, and the government to
develop a specific economic sector through a joint strategy, and
the event will include economic development organizations from 80
countries.
"This forum is precisely for that, to see what is happening
between regions, what they are doing in Europe, how other countries are handling it,
what other development agencies are doing in terms of supporting
companies", said the economic development specialist.
The city of Chihuahua was chosen to host the 26th TCI Global
World Conference on 2023, for its emphasis on economic development
and amid Mexico's rise as one of
the main destinations for nearshoring or business relocation.
Regarding automation, Hwang will present her research on
reducing the direct presence of employees on production lines to
handle complex situations such as the 2020 pandemic without needing
to halt operations. Meanwhile, Mazzucato will explain how major
economic changes worldwide started with governments.

Capital as the fifth-best city in Mexico for entrepreneurship, the fifth
