Competitiveness indexes are important at a municipal level if they are used to develop public policies that promote a more competitive environment. This study identifies strengths and weaknesses in similar municipalities from the State of Mexico with the help of building an indicator of municipal competitiveness to propose strategies that generate a competitive environment. The municipalities with the highest strengths develop commerce activities and they are near urban areas, while the poorest are agricultural in rural areas. It was concluded that government, business, and society must interact to build a competitive environment.
