“Hand in hand with the T-MEC, it has been key in the Mexican economy. We can observe it in the industrial parks of Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Monterrey; all are occupied by foreign companies. If this is done well, it is expected that investments of 30 million dollars will also arrive in expansions of operations and transfers of factories from Asia to Mexico, with this the country is expected to grow up to 2.6 points of GDP”, said Gina Diez Barroso, founder of Dalia Empower.
Hernán Barbieri, COO of Kidzania, added that Mexico is also attractive due to its professionalism and work preparation. However, in order to take advantage of the benefits of the increase in foreign trade in Mexico, strategies must be created that reinforce the confidence of companies.

“If important investments are not made in infrastructure, clean energy, access to competitive energy, our country will not be able to reach that potential that the phenomenon of nearshoring is offering to the country. Despite external situations, Mexico can emerge victorious in the competitive world,” said Alberto de la Fuente, executive president of Empresas Globales.
“And to this is added security, to have a clearer vision with the issue of sustainability, we need as a country to have policies with greater transparency, promote innovation and technological development to take advantage of the nearshoring”, explained.
For Barbieri, Mexico does not have a good marketing outside the country, so efforts must be added to demonstrate what it offers.
