The Government of the State of Aguascalientes and UPS, a global leader in courier and parcel delivery services, have established a strategic partnership through the signing of a collaboration agreement. This important agreement seeks to transform the local economic landscape by offering exclusive and direct benefits to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Aguascalientes, providing them with essential tools to optimize their export and import processes, while also receiving specialized training and first-class logistics consulting to ensure their commercial success beyond Mexico’s borders.
This collaboration agreement represents an important step toward consolidating Aguascalientes’ leadership as one of the states with the strongest export orientation in the country, by creating conditions that allow local companies to integrate more easily into global supply chains and respond to new challenges in international trade.

The state of Aguascalientes continues to rank among the country’s top-performing exporting states. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), during 2025 the state recorded exports totaling $13.639 billion dollars. This growth is the result of the consolidation of strategic sectors, the strengthening of the productive base, and the ability of local companies to successfully compete in international markets.
