As US President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum shape the next chapter of the US-Mexico relationship, businesses on both sides of the border are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape. From trade policy shifts and a critical focus on security to changes in tariffs schedules and labor policy, the private sector faces both uncertainty and new opportunities.  

What strategies are the United States and Mexico adopting to address the volatility of the international environment? What innovative policies are needed to emerge stronger for global competitiveness? How can businesses leverage this moment to drive innovation and investment?  

Join us on Wednesday, March 7 at 8:00 a.m. (CDMX) at the St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City for a forum that will provide insights on the policies redefining US-Mexico commerce and explore actionable strategies for businesses to mitigate risks, adapt to new regulations, and seize emerging investment opportunities. This in-person event offers an opportunity to address urgent questions and find new alternatives to leverage all the potential for economic growth, enterprise development, and shared prosperity.

This is an in-person event. No virtual participation will be available.
