Count on Me: A Conversation with North American Allies

Hosted by Consejo de Empresas Globales

The era of hyper-globalized supply chains is giving way to a new model defined by resilience, security, and trusted partnerships. As companies diversify production and governments place greater emphasis on economic security, North America is emerging as a platform for nearshoring and allyshoring. However, geography alone does not make an alliance. Mexico, the United States, and Canada have long been neighbors; the opportunity now is to become genuine partners, and the region's competitive position depends on how far that shift goes.

That question extends well beyond the three countries. Companies and governments across Europe, Asia, and Latin America have committed capital, operations, and people to North America, and their stake in the region's success is real. This conversation brings together voices from within the region and from the allied countries invested in it to examine what secure and competitive supply chains actually require and how trusted partnerships can position North America as a global model for economic security and shared prosperity.
