MORE

The State of Chiapas is composed by 15 regions, within them the Soconusco, which is considered an important historical, cultural and economic region of Chiapas. It is located in the extreme south of the state, on the border with Guatemala. Due to its geographical position, it has been of great importance in communication and trade between the highlands of Central Mexico and Central America. After the rupture of the union between the Central American provinces and Mexico, Soconusco was disputed by Mexico and Guatemala until the borders between the two countries were definitively established and the province of Soconusco was incorporated into the State of Chiapas.

Economic Structure

The Soconusco region has a more complex economic structure than Chiapas and the South-Southeast Region, which demonstrates its productive capacity to develop and move towards higher value and more competitive activities. This is a key condition for attracting investment and promoting the economic transformation of the region.

Socioeconomic

The Soconusco Region, led by the City of Tapachula, has low levels of marginalization (illiteracy, population with basic education, appropriate housing conditions, access to basic services, among others) and can be compared with States such as Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, and Sonora.

Science, Technology and Innovation

The Soconusco Region stands out for having a greater number of researchers per 1,000 inhabitants; as well as a higher percentage of STEM researchers compared to the total of Chiapas and the South-Southeast Region. The foregoing offers Soconusco an important competitive advantage compared to other territories in the zone, by having scientific-technological capabilities (existing and potential) to carry out activities focused on scientific research, technological development, and innovation, fundamental for attracting and developing more complex and profitable value chains.
