Um, if you could, just tell us, uh, or add, uh, to the, uh, to what Nazca has said.

Johan EstradaGUEST
What I could add is that basically this initiative is a response to what the government of Mexico have been pursuing since twenty twenty-three, when, uh, what is called the Mexico plan was released.

Johan EstradaGUEST
And this, uh, governmental plan of the, you know, of the government, of the federal government includes, uh, creating and boosting the semiconductor ecosystem.

Johan EstradaGUEST
So there are actual plans to, you know, back up the creation of new companies that, uh, create and design integrated circuits, uh, to actually help creating a, a whole ecosystem that includes also the, uh, you know, the creation of foundries here in, in Mexico.

Johan EstradaGUEST
And, uh, well, participating the whole semiconductor chain, uh, from the front end to the back end.

Johan EstradaGUEST
So, uh, this plan of the federal government, you know, have been since the beginning, been backed up by universities and research centers and the academia.

Um, how responsive would you say is the, uh, educational system, whether at the university level or at the secondary education level, um, how responsive is it to the demands of companies for engineering talent?
