PODECOBI are articulated productive ecosystems, where the State acts as an investment promoter, a driver of local capacities, and a facilitator of public and
logistical services. They are designed to boost economic activity and foster shared prosperity through economic and social impacts.

Capital of Technology and Sustainability PODECOBI covers an area of 217.68 hectares, which meets the selection criteria established in the Agreement issuing the Guidelines for Economic Development Hubs for Well-being, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on May 22, 2025.

The characteristics of the development hub and surrounding municipalities are as follows:
I. Macrolocation: Central-eastern region of the state of Puebla.

V. Education: Institutions of higher and upper secondary education are present within the PODECOBI and surrounding municipalities.
VI. Territorial: For the development of productive activities in the PODECOBI, the following productive vocations are considered priority and potential:
· Advanced manufacturing
· Automotive industry
· Specialized textile industry
· Electronics
· Chemical industry
· Plastics and rubber industry
VII. Industrial feasibility: Land use regulations allow industrial activities.
VIII. Sustainability: The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources determined that the development hub is viable, since the area is classified as a human settlement and industrial zone, already impacted and lacking forest vegetation; therefore, it does not require authorization for land use change on forest land.
IX. Services and infrastructure: The area has the basic services and infrastructure necessary for productive activities, including roads, electricity, potable water, sewage, and connectivity.
X. Ownership: The parcels comprising the PODECOBI area are state public property.
