Industry Focus Area: Manufacturing
This business trip to Mexico is open to Utah companies with a special interest in manufacturing. Specifically, the life science/med device and critical minerals/advanced manufacturing industry. Our goal is to position Utah’s manufacturing companies to capitalize on emerging opportunities in Mexico by connecting with key government officials, trade associations, and business leaders — fostering mutually beneficial relationships.
Why Mexico?
Tap into a large, growing market with significant opportunities for trade and investment. Mexico’s competitive labor force, lower operating cost, and proximity to Utah make it an ideal location for manufacturing and distribution. Utah and Mexico have a longstanding economic and diplomatic relationship, that has been strengthened by the recent Joint Utah Mexico Partnership initiative. Trade from Mexico supports approximately 51,000 Utah jobs and Mexico is Utah’s largest import partner and third-largest export partner. Join us in Jalisco for incredible business opportunities and rich cultural experiences!
Returning for the second year in a row, Governor Spencer Cox led a trade mission delegation of 34 Utahns to Mexico to strengthen ties with one of our most important trade partners.
