Twelve years after supporting the State of Chihuahua to launch Mexico’s first economic clustering project in 1992, ETG was called back in 2004 to support the new Governor’s initiative Chihuahua Nuevo Milenio Program to relaunch a statewide competitiveness strategy project for the eight regions in the state.  ETG staff worked with regional leadership groups ranging from the state’s two largest metropolitan areas (Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua City), to its 6 mid- and small-sized cities to a rural development areas.  ETG provided training, support to more than 300 regional leaders to define next steps in their regional development projects.  ETG is supporting leadership groups to launch regional cluster initiatives and begin early stage implementation in each region.
