COFOCE held the seminar “Perspectives and Opportunities of the T-Mec and the Mexico Plan”, aimed at the business sector.
In the seminar businessmen and women obtained strategic information and key tools to face the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead.
During the presentation given by the Director of COFOCE, Luis Rojas Avila, entitled “InnerShoring: The key to boosting MSMEs in Mexico” he opened a panorama to the business sector where strategies and programs are proposed such as the connection of MSME industries with transnationals that promote and boost the impact of micro, small and medium-sized companies.
“The opportunity is incredible. We have approached 620 companies. We are visiting them and asking them, of this 100 percent of the inputs that you incorporate for the production of your articles, what percentage is Mexican? And they answer: 12, 8 percent, 5 percent, hey, why don’t you go with Mexico? They say; no, it’s because they don’t have the certification, they don’t have the infrastructure, they don’t have ISO 9000, they failed me, they didn’t answer me, there are areas of opportunity without a doubt, but that is where we want to give that detonation or that change in growth from the inside out, and that is what we call InnerShoring, which is precisely creating those networks that connect MSMEs with global supply chains,” said Rojas Avila.
The seminar consisted of two presentations and two discussion panels, the second presentation, entitled “Increasing business competitiveness in the face of the new tariff environment,” by Jeffrey Cartwright, a specialist in Nearshoring and with operational and general management experience in companies such as P&G, PEPSICO, among other, provided data and tools to entrepreneurs to be much more competitive in the current international situation.
The panels, in which the Secretary of Economy of Guanajuato, Cristina Villasenor, and Jose de Jesus Hernandez Fuentes, President of CANACINTRA Leon, participated, addressed topics such as the initiatives of the Mexico Plan to promote economic development, incentives for foreign direct investment, success stories and programs that today promote the companies in Guanajuato.
The second panel was led by Guillermo Bernal, National Director of External Relations & Committees, American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico, and Professor Gabriel Padilla Maya, General Director of INA, in which practical strategies to adapt to the review of the T-MEC and Trump’s threats were addressed.
The objective of the seminar was to provide Guanajuato companies with strategic information and key tools to face the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities offered by the T-MEC and the Mexico Plan.
The event was held at the Explora Science Center with the presence of more than 200 attendees, including businessmen, businesswomen, CEOs, presidents and representatives of chambers.
The People’s Government, through COFOCE, the only national organization that promotes exports, has taken the lead in current issues of the country’s economic sector, and will continue to work on inclusive export projects and constant economic growth and prosperity that benefit the people of Guanajuato.
