Strategies for Trade & Investment in México
Up to 16 CPE/CLE Credits Available
Why You Should Attend:
México is at the forefront of the business news when it comes to US trade and investment. While US investment in México has leveled off in 2004, oil revenues have increased, foreign exchange inflow have grown and government infrastructure investments are expanding. Exports to the United States alone grew in 2003 to 11.6% of the total US import market. Together with China and India, México is the most growth oriented emerging economy of the Twentyfirst century. Today US companies—and their advisors—need to stay current on the latest legal and financial developments in México to maximize profitability. For this major event, ATLAS Legal and the U.S.-México Chamber of Commerce have brought together an exceptional international faculty to address a variety of important subjects with which you must be familiar if you are to guide your client or business knowledgeably and creatively through the new, ever-changing terrain.

23-24 NAFTA Partnership Forum
¿Qué es el NAFTA Partnership Forum?
Las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PyMES) no han podido capitalizar verdaderamente los beneficios del TLCAN. Si consideramos que este segmento conforma más del 90% del sector privado en los tres países de Norteamérica, es claro que una de las claves para la integración y competitividad de la región es la de lograr un verdadero enlace empresarial a este nivel.
La filosofía de el Foro de sociedad TLC es muy simple: Aportar, en una sola sesión, todos los elementos que requieren las pequeñas y medianas empresas para enlazarse, explorar oportunidades de negocios de beneficio mutuo, e iniciar el proceso de hacerlas realidad.
Para lograr este objetivo:
* Contamos con la participación de las principales agencias de apoyo empresarial de México y los Estados Unidos * Creamos medios virtuales de registro y enlace para facilitar y minimizar la inversión para primeros contactos * Estructuramos un programa previo de capacitación en aspectos transculturales, en cómo hacer contactos virtuales efectivos y en integración del modelo de trabajo para socios multinacionales
Todo esto y más es lo que recibirás al participar en el Foro de Sociedad TLCAN. Esperamos tu registro, para iniciar el proceso de preparación para tu enlace y expansión global el 23 y 24 de Septiembre en WTC Veracruz. Para mayores informes visita la página www.naftaforum.org o contáctanos a:
