THIRD NORTH AMERICAN SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT REGIONAL INTEGRATION

NAFTA has been clearly successful in its purpose of increasing trade and investment in North America, and has provided great benefits for the economies of Mexico and the United States. However with the increase in the volume of goods and services now being exchanged, and to continue to facilitate trade and travel in a timely manner, existing infrastructure is being taxed and now requires increasing efforts by the countries involved to better serve the demand.

For this reason the Chamber is presenting an opportunity to discuss the challenges to facilitate trade between Mexico and the U.S. with a more comprehensive approach, taking into consideration the aspects of infrastructure, logistics, transportation and energy, supply chain integration, cybersecurity and IT innovation, regulatory structure and emerging barriers that our countries face in order to contribute to increasing the region’s competitive edge in the global market.

Join the discussion on current economic and political developments that have an impact on the future of North America as a region. We will bring together business leaders and key bi-national government leaders to speak and explore a broad range of ways to further integrate our economies through trade and cooperation. .
