Over the past few years, the Mexican automotive industry has significantly grown in importance within the global automotive sector, driven by commercial trends like nearshoring and tariff policies implemented by the United States. 

This strategic positioning has created a robust environment for manufacturing and export, making Mexico a key player in the global automotive market.

Given the strong momentum of the Mexican manufacturing industry, Business Sweden is organizing an automotive industry delegation to Mexico. This delegation will have the unique opportunity to visit the most important automotive clusters in the country, including those in Nuevo Leon, Guanajuato, State of Mexico and Mexico City. 

These regions are renowned for their advanced manufacturing capabilities, strategic location, and the presence of major automotive companies and suppliers.

Participants will gain invaluable insights into the Mexican automotive sector, explore potential business opportunities, and establish meaningful connections with industry leaders and key stakeholders. 

This delegation promises to be an enriching experience for companies looking to expand their footprint in the global automotive market by leveraging the dynamic and growing Mexican automotive industry.
