The Medical Industry in Tijuana has reached global proportions. We have industry leading companies creating products exported to more than seventy countries around the world. As a result, Tijuana has emerged as the city where the science and technology converge in support of global welfare. As such, it is very important to encourage this industry which endows us with international prestige.

At Tijuana Innovadora, we believe that this city is ideally located for any investment that seeks to provide products or services to the United States, Canada and the world.
