On October 7–8, 2025, Mexico City will host the World Economic Forum’s Country Strategy Meeting on Mexico, convening high-level public and private sector leaders to assess the nation’s evolving position in the global economy. The event coincides with the first anniversary of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration and will feature participation from the president and senior cabinet members.
Mexico, as a G20 member, benefits from solid macroeconomic foundations, a strategic geographic location bridging North and Latin America, and access to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These advantages position the country to leverage nearshoring trends, attract foreign investment, and expand its integration into regional and international supply networks.
The nation also serves as a manufacturing hub with skilled labor and a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. This foundation supports its potential to lead in emerging sectors such as clean energy, digital transformation, infrastructure development, and advanced supply chain systems.
The meeting will facilitate dialogue on Plan Mexico, President Sheinbaum’s economic vision, including policy reforms aimed at long-term competitiveness. Discussions will focus on strategies to diversify the economy, strengthen international partnerships, and enhance resilience amid global economic shifts. A key emphasis will be ensuring that growth remains inclusive and environmentally sustainable.
Participants include executives from Forum partner companies and top government officials, using the platform to explore collaborative pathways for innovation and responsible development.
