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

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.
7:41
And this, uh, governmental plan of the, you know, of the government, of the federal government includes, uh, creating and boosting the semiconductor ecosystem.
7:54
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.

And, uh, well, participating the whole semiconductor chain, uh, from the front end to the back end.
8:24
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.

So here in WARI, we decided that, okay, so we can participate.
