Overview

In a webinar, the CEOs of leading Mexican firms will share insights on their companies, their current U.S. investments, and the new opportunities arising under the current administration.

Far beyond traditional notions of trade, today's economic relationship between the United States and Mexico features deep production integration and significant two-way investment. From automotive components manufactured in Mexico powering Michigan assembly lines to Mexican-owned manufacturing facilities employing thousands across the U.S. heartland, Mexican inputs and investments play an important role in U.S. economic competitiveness and growth. 

This timely discussion will spotlight the vital economic partnership between Mexico and the United States with an emphasis on the role of Mexican companies as significant contributors of foreign direct investment in the United States, highlighting their role in job creation and economic development across sectors and states. The conversation will emphasize the continued importance of this cross-border partnership for the future prosperity of both nations and a competitive North America.
