Reyna: RioPlex is a Gateway to Prosperity in the RGV and Northern Tamaulipas

RioPlex is an organization committed to initiating an industrial revolution that brings greater prosperity to our region. By uniting economic development efforts across two nations along the Rio Grande River, RioPlex showcases a remarkable competitive advantage that foreign and domestic investors should know about.

What Makes RioPlex Unique? RioPlex aims to tell the world about our region’s exceptional assets—starting with education. Our area is home to top-tier institutions such as the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley with a medical school, Texas A&M, South Texas College, Texas State Technical College, Texas Southmost College, and several proprietary schools. A UTRGV economics professor recently highlighted that over 85,000 students graduated from the Rio Grande Valley in a five-year span. This indicates how eager the region is for success, and it speaks loudly of the educational institutions in the area.  SpaceX’s presence here is no coincidence; they employ many local engineers. As the company sets its sights on Mars, the need for skilled talent will only grow for all industries, especially the medical and health science occupations, an opportunity RioPlex is eager to promote globally.

Yet, our talent pool is just the beginning. The region’s logistical infrastructure is unmatched on the U.S.-Mexico border. Where else can you find:

• A spaceport
• An international railroad crossing
• Seven airports (five of which accommodate commercial airlines)
• Three seaports
• Thirteen international bridges

This strategic network efficiently and cost-effectively moves raw materials and finished products into the U.S., the world’s largest marketplace. Whether manufacturing, transporting, or launching satellites, this region provides everything you need to succeed.

Why RioPlex? RioPlex is led by a board of CEOs who understand the region’s unique value and invest here daily. This leadership ensures that every decision is made by those who have a direct stake in our community’s success. Our overarching purpose is straightforward: attract new investors, create better-paying jobs, and boost prosperity for all residents of the RioPlex area.
