In a year in which the concept of ‘nearshoring’ has made a lot of noise in Mexico, the CEO of Prodensa has become one of the oracles of this practice of relocating investments and companies in the vicinity of the largest market in the world: the United States. Emilio Cadena runs a company that advises, accompanies and provides consulting services to companies seeking to settle in Mexico to take advantage of the country’s installed industrial base and trade agreements with more than 30 markets. In addition, Cadena has become one of the voices of caution around the investment promises that relocation has triggered. The executive says that the war for talent could trigger a crisis if companies, academia and the government do not generate new generations of professionals to nurture the dozens - if not hundreds - of companies seeking to operate in Mexico.
