Unlocking Business Growth | The NC-Mexico-Canada Advantage

Wednesday, June 25, 2025
100 W Worthington Ave, Charlotte, NC 28203

Please join us on Wednesday, June 25 from 4:00 to 6:30 in Charlotte, NC for an executive panel discussion focused on expanding business opportunities between North Carolina companies and our North American partners, Mexico and Canada.

This event is hosted by the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina’s international trade team.

Why Attend?

North Carolina’s trade with Mexico and Canada reached close to $14 billion last year—but we’ve only scratched the surface of opportunity. With USMCA facing its critical 2026 review period and potential modifications on the horizon, now is the strategic moment for your company to:

  • Forge supply chain partnerships with Mexican and Canadian enterprises before potential rule changes.
  • Master current cross-border regulations while preparing for possible shifts.
  • Leverage specialized export financing and trade assistance resources.
  • Establish your footprint in these neighboring markets ahead of regulatory uncertainty.

Distinguished Speakers:

  • Claudia Velasco – Consul General of Mexico to North Carolina
  • Rosaline Kwan – Consul General of Canada to the Southeast US
  • Miguel Manna – Counsel, Parker Poe LLP

Who Should Attend:

This invitation is extended to C-suite executives, international business development managers, and operations leaders from companies of all sizes across North Carolina. Whether you’re already doing business in Mexico or Canada or considering either market, this event will provide valuable insights and connections.
