“If I were a tech company, where would I want to be?” Seems like a reasonable question to us.
Incubation. Acceleration. Technology innovation. It’s all happening here. With Technology Hub in Juarez and the Hub of Human Innovation in El Paso, as a region, we’re squarely at the front of the new tech revolution, well-situated to become the next Silicon Valley. Both facilities draw huge crowds of makers, thinkers, designers, and the intensely tech-minded each month for seminars, learning and design think technology. Don’t take it from us. See for yourself.
Tech HUB
Tech HUB, a Silicon Valley-inspired compound in Ciudad Juarez, is one of the region’s go-to places for innovative entrepreneurship and is a certified incubator by Mexico’s National Institute for the Entrepreneur (INADEM). Tech HUB’s programs and partnerships provide training, guidance, and support in everything from business to robotics, and people of all ages use their open, vibrant working space.

“We learned about Las Cruces from a former employee that was working at Amazon during HQ2 pitches. I asked if there were any cool cities he came across and he suggested I look at Movida Tri City Border. He loved that the region saw it as one. He recognized the advantage and I thought it was interesting. I thought about how easy it would be to get diverse talent from south of the border. The visa process is long for acquiring talent in Asia, but in Canada and Mexico isn’t."
