Industry Baby: Rules of Origin and North American Value Chains

Hosted by Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad and Tecnológico de Monterrey

North America's industrial competitiveness. As companies adapt supply chains to evolving trade policies and prepare for the USMCA review, increasing regional value-added production has become essential to strengthening manufacturing ecosystems, attracting investment, and ensuring preferential market access. Strategic sectors such as automotive, electronics, semiconductors, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing face growing pressure to deepen regional integration while maintaining global competitiveness.

Speakers will explore sector-specific challenges, opportunities to expand value-added production, and the policies needed to reinforce North America's position as an integrated manufacturing platform.
