The program features two distinct tracks: «Tu Primer Negocio Migrante» (Your First Business Migrant), which offers up to 200,000 pesos in equipment to Zacatecan migrants residing abroad or beneficiaries of the Labor Mobility Program for their productive ventures.
The second track, «Tu Primer Negocio,» is aimed at entrepreneurs and established MiPyMEs within Zacatecas, providing access to up to 120,000 pesos in equipment.
