Is Mexico Ready to Lead Nearshoring? Conversation with Rodrigo Torres
In the first episode of the “Conexión Empresarial” podcast, we have an insightful conversation with Rodrigo Torres, Managing Partner at Torres Batz y Barr, about one of the most relevant topics for Mexico’s economic future: nearshoring.
Mexico’s Strategic Position
During the conversation, Torres explores how Mexico’s strategic position makes it a key player in global nearshoring. This privileged position is not coincidental, but rather the result of multiple factors that position the country as an attractive alternative for companies seeking to optimize their supply chains.
The Impact of Geopolitics
One of the central points of the discussion is the impact of geopolitics on business decisions. Torres analyzes how changes in the global geopolitical landscape are creating new opportunities for Mexico, as well as the challenges this represents.
Current geopolitics is redefining commercial alliances and investment strategies globally, and Mexico must be prepared to capitalize on these trends.
Energy Challenges
The conversation also addresses the energy challenges that Mexico must overcome to establish itself as a leader in nearshoring. Energy infrastructure is fundamental to attracting significant industrial investments, and Torres offers his perspective on this critical issue.
Opportunities That Cannot Be Missed
Torres emphasizes that there are opportunities that companies cannot afford to miss. Nearshoring represents a limited time window, and both Mexican and international companies must act strategically to take advantage of this historic moment.
The New Economic and Technological Order
The discussion culminates with a clear and timely look at the role that Mexico can —and should— play in the new economic and technological order. Torres provides valuable insights on how the country can position itself not only as a manufacturing destination, but as a strategic hub in the region.
