Event Description

The North Carolina-Mexico Nearshoring and Trade Summit is a strategic event focused on enhancing trade relations and nearshoring opportunities between North Carolina and Mexico. The summit brings together business leaders, government officials, and industry experts to discuss collaboration, investment, and economic growth. Key topics include supply chain optimization, cross-border trade, and the benefits of nearshoring for both regions. Attendees will explore ways to strengthen partnerships and leverage North Carolina’s strategic location and Mexico’s manufacturing capabilities to drive mutual economic success. The new Aeromexico flight from Mexico City to Raleigh, the Delta-Aeromexico Alliance, and the connectivity between North Carolina and LATAM via the Atlanta and Mexico City hubs will also be cornerstones of the event as the airline partners are fully engaged.
