Economic Incen ves
n Puerto Rico within our range of our current possibilities, we have decided to become an active member of the global community and
its markets. To embrace and fully achieve global competitiveness in all sectors of our economy we are using a strategy of integration,
diversification and transformation of our socio-economic landscape. We are preserving our high quality standards and highly regulated
bio-pharma and medical devices sector and want to attract more industrial sectors with these characteristics to our manufacturing
economy. At the same time we are transforming into a knowledge and creative economy in which we want to attract new businesses and
develop local businesses that make a better use of mature technologies in innovative and different ways, develop new paradigms and
explore cutting-edge processes, technologies, and products to find solutions for current problems of global impact.

One of the foundations of the dynamic socio-economic reinvention of the island is its growing and promising aerospace industry
cluster. For the last ten years Puerto Rico has been the host of aeronautical and aerospace businesses dedicated to multiple activities
including among others research and development. The aerospace industry differs from other industrial sectors in its potential for
diversification and knowledge applicability across different disciplines and industries. Industry sectors such as Information and
Communications Technology, Materials Sciences, Propulsion Technologies, Agriculture and Energy can find niches for expansion
within the development of the aerospace industry. Jobs from all kinds of employment groups can be promoted once the aerospace
cluster is diversified enough to have the manufacturing, services and research and development components.

The concept used to promote and support the aerospace and the other business sectors stems from the creation of clusters of the
targeted industrial sectors. This is being achieved by implementing five concurrent and convergent strategic efforts for organic cluster
development.

Demographics
Ÿ Puerto Rico's population estimated by 2017 is 3,337,177 inhabitants but even when its
population is declining, Puerto Rico still is one of the most densely populated countries
in the world. In particular, as it is now Puerto Rico would be the third most densely
populated country in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development) with 391 inhabitants in a squared kilometer. In the case of Puerto Rico,
the 78 counties (municipalities) were found in 2015 among the first 726 counties with
the highest population density when considered with the whole U.S. The municipality
of Puerto Rico with greater population density was San Juan with 2865.1 persons per
km2 of land and in turn occupies the position number 13 between the 726 counties.
Likewise, the municipality with the lowest population density in Puerto Rico was that
of Culebra with 60 people per km2 of land, which ranked in the 727th position. The
municipality of Aguadilla occupied the 107th position with a population density of
589.8 people per km2 of land. According to the Puerto Rico Community Survey 5-
Year Estimates, by 2014 the total population of this Northwestern Region (hereinafter
Region) was 266,272 persons, representing 7.3% of the total population of Puerto
Rico. Comparing the population density of the Aguadilla county–the leader in the
Region–with the population density of all members of the OECD, we find that the
county of Aguadilla exceeds population density for all OECD members. The OECD
country that is closer to Aguadilla was the Republic of Korea (South Korea) with a
population density of 517.3 people per km2 of land. In the Northwest the counties
with the highest densities were Aguadilla, Aguada and Quebradillas; with about 624.40,
515.37 and 434.26 people/km2 respectively. These counties reached a higher density
than Puerto Rico (410.37 people/km2).

school system with another 500 private primary and
secondary schools also located on the island. In the
Northwest the counties with the highest number of
public schools were Aguadilla and San Sebastián, with
22 schools. On the other hand, Quebradillas and
Rincón have the lowest number of schools with 10 and
7 respectively. The remaining municipalities had
between 17 and 20 schools. Aguadilla counts with
4,106 students in the private school sector. The other
municipalities have between 400 and 1,500 students
Culture and Entertainment
Ÿ Puerto Rico's culture is a lively mix of Taíno, African, and Spanish influences. This fusion
extends to almost every aspect of Puerto Rican life: our rich cuisine, colorful arts and crafts,
vibrant music, and traditional festivals. You'll experience this diversity anywhere you look,
listen, and taste. Our museums feature both European classics and Afro-Caribbean
sculpture. Our buildings blend traditional colonial styles with a bright palette of colors. Our
music brings together instruments, rhythms and sounds from eras and places as distant
from each other as 18th century West Africa and medieval Spain.
Ÿ Puerto Rico is famous for its baeches and acuatic sports entertainment. In the Western part
of the island you can find beaches for surfing in Aguadilla, Isabela and Rincon, public
beaches “balnearios” in Rincon and Cabo Rojo. At La Parguera you can enjoy the
Bioluminiscent bay.

Loca ons for Aerospace
Investment Opportuni es
Former Ramey Air Force Base

The Ramey Base facilities infrastructure was built in year 1943 to comply with United States of America military standards.
Due to its military use the runway at Ramey had to be built to a length of 11,702 ft. and a width of 200 ft., it has an added 870 ft.
Blast Pad at each end and a 50 ft shoulder on each side making it the biggest in the Caribbean. This runway makes the airport
fit to receive big and heavy military and commercial type aircraft.
Today Ramey's runway facilities can provide a platform for satellite launching and unmanned aerial and space vehicle
research. Its other building infrastructure provide an ideal place to establish research and development operations that are
sensitive to vibrations and require intense weather resistant conditions such as hurricane type winds and earthquake type
events. Due to their location at 283 feet above sea level, the facilities are also immune to tsunami type events which also make
the facilities suitable to host research activities using high performance computing equipment that sustain major scale
simulations and Big Data operations and initiatives.
The Ramey area is host to the Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico operations and the Northwest Metropolitan area which
includes Aguadilla, Aguada, Isabela, Rincon, San Sebastian and Moca municipalities is becoming home for aerospace
businesses dedicated to research and development activities such as Honeywell, Infotech and Infosys among others. These
businesses along with Lufthansa Technik are creating an ecosystem that requires specialized human resources, products
and services to guarantee their global competitiveness.
Former Roosevelt Roads Navy Station

Roosevelt Roads Naval Station is a former United States Navy

base in the town of Ceiba (97.4% and Naguabo (2.6%), Puerto
Rico. As per Geolocator, it has a site area of de 27,184,201.11
square meter, or 6,916.4 cuerdas, or 6,717.3 acres. In the origin,
by 1944 it was developed as an Air Station with an airfield to
support operation in the Caribbean but was closed because of
needs of maintenance. By 1957 it was upgraded to Naval
Station. On March 31, 2004 the Navy closed Naval Station
Roosevelt Roads and since November 2008, the area of the
airport was operated by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority under
the name of José Aponte de la Torre Airport. This is a small
airport with a runway of 11,000 lineal feet long and 150 feet
wide.
The government of Puerto Rico views the 2004 closure of
Naval Station Roosevelt Roads as a unique opportunity to
maximize the assets of this facility, its lush natural environment
and to promote its conservation in a manner that will drive a
robust economic development in the region and to enhance
Puerto Rico as a premier tourism, entertainment, commercial,
services and recreational destination in the Caribbean.
The redevelopment of the former Naval Station Roosevelt
Roads in Ceiba is part of the economic development strategy
of the Government of Puerto Rico aimed at attracting private
investments, creating jobs and spurring economic growth in
the towns of Ceiba and Naguabo, the eastern region, including
Vieques and Culebra, and Puerto Rico. This is one of Puerto
Rico's foremost economic development initiatives. This
project is comprised of 8,720 acres of high economic,
ecological, historical and cultural value. For more information
