A strong entrepreneurial group that provided capital and social networks

An industrial framework that took advantage of their comparative advantages

A well-recognized, efficient and productive working culture

An armonized linkage with local authorities

Succesful economic activities with linkages at industrial level but notclosely related with support industries
