Trade Talks Mexico
In recent times, concepts such as “de-risking” and “nearshoring” have become increasingly important for Swedish companies. And Mexico has emerged as a key player in capitalizing these trends. With its strategic location, well-educated workforce, favourable business climate and 14 free trade agreements, Mexico has attracted companies from all over the world. Boasting a market with 128 million people, the country experienced a growth in private consumption, increasing by 4.7% between 2022 and 2024, an impressive growth considering the cautious global market.
Sweden and Mexico have a long history of multilateral collaboration, favoured by the many shared values between the countries such as disarmament, democracy, climate action and human rights. However, it is now time to strengthen the bilateral cooperation and explore new opportunities for mutual growth.
Join us on this webinar to learn more about how you can successfully tap into this strategically important market and enjoy the many benefits of Mexico. Together with the Mexican Embassy in Sweden and various experts in the field, we will delve into the market outlook, risks and opportunities, recommendations and future predictions to provide a comprehensive view on Mexico, especially for Swedish firms of all sizes.
