Why Attend?


Economic Partnership


  • Mexico is Georgia’s second-largest trading partner, representing billions in two-way trade annually.
  • More than 200 Georgia-based companies operate in Mexico, benefiting from its strategic location, skilled workforce, and strong manufacturing base.
  • Mexico-based firms continue to expand in Georgia in logistics, automotive, food production, and advanced manufacturing, contributing to job creation and investment.
  • Strengthening ties helps build more resilient and diversified supply chains, especially in key sectors such as mobility, aerospace, energy, food, and consumer goods.


Strategic Connectivity


  • Mexico City is one of the most globally connected cities in the Americas, offering direct access to Latin American markets and international trade routes.
  • Georgia’s unmatched logistics assets, particularly Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the Port of Savannah, position the state as a natural hub for Mexico’s imports and exports into the United States.
  • The Georgia-Mexico relationship supports smoother trade flows and increased competitiveness for businesses on both sides.


Innovation, Technology, and Education


  • Mexico City is home to major innovation districts, smart city initiatives, mobility pilots, and Latin America’s largest tech entrepreneurship ecosystem.
  • Leading universities, including UNAM and Tec de Monterrey, maintain longstanding academic, research, and talent exchange partnerships with Georgia institutions such as Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, and Emory.
  • Collaborations in areas such as AI, clean energy, creative technology, cybersecurity, mobility, and sustainability help advance the shared goal of building future-ready and inclusive economies.


Cultural and Community Ties


  • Georgia is home to a large and vibrant Mexican and Mexican American community, contributing to the state’s culture, workforce, entrepreneurship, arts, and civic life.
  • Shared cultural heritage strengthens familiarity, trust, and long term partnership between our regions.
  • Mexico City, as the cultural capital of Latin America, offers powerful opportunities for collaboration in film, music, cuisine, design, and the arts, aligning closely with Georgia’s expanding creative and innovation economy.


Diplomatic and Government Relations


  • The Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta plays a vital role in strengthening diplomatic, cultural, and economic ties between Mexico and Georgia. Its presence ensures constant engagement on issues such as trade, mobility, education, workforce development, and community programs.
  • Atlanta is also home to the Guanajuato State Government Office, one of the very few Latin American subnational offices in the Southeast. This office reinforces collaboration in investment, tourism, cultural exchange, and economic development while serving as a direct connector for Georgia companies exploring market opportunities in Mexico.
  • Strengthening government-to-government relations supports regional stability, economic cooperation, and shared priorities across economic development, education, innovation, and cultural diplomacy.
  • Georgia’s leadership has long recognized the importance of international engagement, and Mexico remains one of the state’s strongest and most strategic global partners.
  • Missions like this deepen institutional ties, open new pathways for collaboration, and ensure Georgia continues to be viewed as a global hub for business, innovation, and global trade.


Shared Opportunity for Growth


  • Mexico’s population of nearly 130 million and its status as one of the world’s largest emerging economies offer significant market potential for Georgia businesses.
  • Joint initiatives across logistics, smart cities, sustainability, education, and creative industries create economic and social benefits for both regions.
  • Strengthening the Georgia-Mexico relationship positions the state as a gateway to the Americas and reinforces its leadership in global commerce, innovation, and cross-cultural collaboration.
