Silicon Border Holding Company, LLC is a commercial 40-square-kilometre (9,900-acre) development site designed to produce semi-conductors for consumers in North America.
The site is located in Mexicali, Baja California, along the southwestern border of the United States of America and Mexico.
Silicon Border provides Mexico with an infrastructure that enables high-tech companies anywhere in the world to relocate manufacturing operations to the country and exploit its competitive advantages such as geographical location, human capital, research, legal and tax benefits, intellectual property, international treaties, and logistics.
