The government of Aguascalientes is working on many fronts to make the Mexican state an ideal place to invest – and the strategy is already paying off.

Aguascalientes lies 2000 metres above sea level on the Anáhuac plateau and owes its name to the thermal springs found in this central area of Mexico. It is the country’s fifth smallest state, with about a million inhabitants, of which 60% reside in Aguascalientes city.

Cattle are raised on the wide plains and in the foothills. Crops such as alfalfa, maize, wheat, chillies and peaches are grown.
