The government of Querétaro presented on July 13, 2026, the Digital Investment Portal (Ventanilla Digital de Inversiones), a platform designed with OECD technical assistance that aims to cut administrative processing times for new business setup in the state by up to 80 percent, with a target of 50 business days to complete the full process, as reported by Mexico Industry.
The project is grounded in 408 regulatory simplification actions identified by the OECD and envisages the creation of a single, interoperable digital file shared across all agencies within the state executive branch, along with online payments and digital inspection tracking. Governor Mauricio Kuri González noted that the platform will initially focus on two key processes: construction permits and business opening procedures. Currently, 68 percent of state administrative procedures are already digitalized; the target is to reach 80 percent by the end of 2026 and 100 percent during 2027, as detailed by El Economista.
Manuel Gerardo Flores Romero, coordinator of the OECD Regulatory Policy Programme for Latin America, stated at the launch that the objective is for Querétaro to have the best digital investment portal in Mexico, Latin America, and the OECD itself. The project includes the development of Cerebro Querétaro, a collective intelligence system that will connect the databases of all state agencies to improve government decision-making. The platform is expected to operate under full international standards within a period of 12 months.
Querétaro's Digital Investment Portal sits within a broader trend of digitalization in state public administration, a trend also visible in Puebla with its Yankuilotl project and in Mexico City with the Agencia Digital de Innovación Pública. The OECD has identified regulatory simplification as one of the highest-impact factors in attracting subnational foreign direct investment. The platform's full deployment in 2027 will provide a reference case for other Mexican states seeking to modernize their relationship with the productive sector.
