In an ever-changing geopolitical world, many U.S. companies are turning to Mexico as an alternative nearshoring supply chain partner. Understanding our cross-border cultural and economic landscape is essential for our region to fully leverage the opportunities for closer relations for business, community, and the public-at-large.
Generously sponsored by CalPrivate Bank, please join the Burnham Center for Community Advancement in collaboration with the Institute of the Americas, for a community dialogue about our region’s nearshoring opportunities. Be part of the unveiling of our comprehensive report, (https://iamericas.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Synthesized-nearshoring-CaliBaja.pdf) jointly developed by the Institute of the Americas and the Burnham Center for Community Advancement.
