The government of the western Mexican state of Jalisco has retained Washington D.C.-based business, legal and political consulting firm Wiljan Consulting for help spreading the word regarding its growing IT sector among the U.S. media.
 |
Jalisco, whose capital is Guadalajara, is home to many electronics and IT companies, including General Electric, IBM, Intel Corporation, Hitachi, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens, Oracle and others, leading the country’s second most populated city to recently be christened the “Silicon Valley of Mexico.” Guadalajara, which is now Mexico’s primary producer of software, electronics and computer equipment, now competes with China for its electronics exports to the U.S.
Jalisco’s communications office has hired Wiljan to help write, design and publish a press release or “open letter” to U.S.-based tech companies in a major media outlet, according to Foreign Agents Registration Act documents filed in February.
Wiljan is led by Rodrigo Aguilar Benignos, who was previously strategic planning director for the Mexican Ministry of Energy.
