WTC Monterrey awarded as export support institute

June 25, 2019 - On June 18, WTC Monterrey received the Award for Exporting Merit, Rodolfo González Garza 2019, as a Foreign Trade Promotion Institution. The award was the result of the constant effort of WTC Monterrey to support SMEs in the State of Nuevo León to initiate or consolidate exports. The need to support SMEs is enormous. Only 1% of all SMEs export. Moreover, 90% of everything that is exported is made by a group of less than 100 companies. Mexico in general and Monterrey in particular, taking into account the number of free trade agreements, the proximity to the United States. and the imminent reality of a tiny growth of the national economy, should redouble efforts to promote exports. This promotion should be like direct export or indirect export, when developing suppliers. It is commendable that the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, through its WTC Monterrey, is struggling to generate an impact on the state's SMEs. Read More

ROBERTA JACOBSON AT AMCHAM MTY ANNUAL ASSEMBLY

September 26, 2016 - Message from Roberta Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, at the American Chamber Monterrey Annual Assembly You meet at a crucial time – a time of testing, a crossroads where it will become clear whether we’re going to move forward in this great bilateral relationship and North American experiment, or fail to achieve what we can be together. To take this to the next level, and truly make North America the economic powerhouse of the world, the Obama Administration remains committed to ratifying the Trans-Pacific Partnership, this year. As President Obama said last week at the G20 meetings, the TPP will deepen partnerships, boost economic growth, and strengthen trade and investment across 12 countries that make up 40 percent of the world economy. TPP will improve labor and environmental standards, promote a free and open internet, protect intellectual property rights, and encourage transparency and accountability in Asia and Latin America. But the TPP, at its base, will improve people’s lives. Read More

Jodi Hanson Bond at AmCham MTY Annual Assembly

September 26, 2016 - Message from Jodi Hanson Bond, vice president of the Americas for the International Division at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, at the American Chamber Monterrey Annual Assembly I know you´re watching our absurd reality show of a presidential season! I can assure you that what appears concerning from afar is much more troubling up close. Indeed, we are in the middle of the most surprising and perplexing presidential campaign in modern U.S. history. As Tom Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber, stated in the Chamber´s annual address on the State of American business, on one side we have a candidate promising to double down on the current administration´s policies. An on the other side there´s an ominous voice who´s talking about walling America off from people and trade and is attaching whole groups of people based not on their conduct but on their ethnicity or religion, Mexico obviously being among his chief targets. This is morally and politically wrong. Read More
