What to know about the Country Strategy Meeting on Mexico

On 7-8 October 2025, the World Economic Forum and the Government of Mexico will host the Country Strategy Meeting on Mexico in Mexico City, bringing together top government and business leaders to examine Mexico’s role in the global economy.

As the world experiences significant transformations, Latin America continues to be an integral region in the global economy. Mexico, in particular, stands at a pivotal juncture in the rapidly evolving economic landscape given it’s a G20 economy with strong macroeconomic fundamentals, a strategic geographical location and sophisticated industrial ecosystems.

With direct access to North America and Latin American markets, as well as both Atlantic and Pacific waters, Mexico’s geographical location makes it uniquely positioned to capitalize on nearshoring trends, attract new investment and expand its role in regional and global supply chains.

Moreover, as an important hub with established manufacturing capabilities, skilled labour and a dynamic entrepreneurial force, Mexico holds great potential to strengthen its position as a leader in expanding industries like clean energy, supply chain management and infrastructure to digital transformation technologies, among others.

The Country Strategy Meeting on Mexico will welcome business executives from the World Economic Forum’s partner companies as well as top government officials including President Claudia Sheinbaum and several Cabinet Secretaries.

The event, which coincides with the completion of President Sheinbaum’s first year in office, will serve as a platform for open dialogue to examine how Mexico can further drive economic growth and explore opportunities to advance the country’s role as a leader in the interconnected and rapidly evolving global economy.

It will also provide an opportunity to deepen understanding of Plan Mexico, President Sheinbaum’s vision for economic prosperity, and its associated policy reforms. Participants will also examine Mexico’s current challenges and responses to foster Mexico’s long-term competitiveness, while ensuring that growth is socially and environmentally responsible.

Furthermore, as Mexico redefines its regional and international economic footprint, the Country Strategy Meeting on Mexico will advance the country’s efforts to diversify its economy, expand partnerships and strengthen its overall resilience in the face of the global context.
