Made in North America: The New Supply Chain Trilateral Advantage

Hosted by Business Roundtable

The era of hyper-globalized supply chains is giving way to a new model defined by resilience, economic security, and trusted partnerships. As companies diversify production and governments reassess strategic dependencies, North America is well positioned to become a leading platform for nearshoring and allyshoring. The deep integration of Mexico, the United States, and Canada, anchored by the USMCA, strengthens the region’s global competitiveness and creates new opportunities for investment, innovation, and shared growth.

Bringing together public and private sector perspectives, this conversation will explore how North America can preserve the advantages of trilateral cooperation while adapting to an increasingly complex global environment. The discussion will examine the policy coordination, investment certainty, infrastructure, and cross-border collaboration needed to build more secure and competitive supply chains, as well as how stronger regional alignment and trusted global partnerships can reinforce North America’s economic security and long-term prosperity.
