The Government of Mexico will be releasing its Strategic National Infrastructure Program 2013-2018 shortly. Several prominent business analysts already identified the strongest contenders to benefit as prime contractors on each of the country’s priority sectors, namely transportation, construction, energy, oil & gas, ports, rail, engineering, new environmental technologies, and telecommunications. The six-year plan will result in approximately $200 billion dollars in government spending, which would double when matched by funds from the private sector. Business opportunities in the form of highways, passenger and cargo train lines, several expansion plans of cargo containers and a new cruise ship terminal, the development of a fiber optic network to interconnect with the national electricity grid, and a new airport in the center of the country are some of the proposals. Join our webinar on Thursday, August 22, 2013 to learn more about President Peña’s upcoming announcement. We will discuss how to finance infrastructure projects, the public tender process and best practices for prime contractors and sub-contractors with leaders experienced in developing successful partnerships. Get to know strategic projects from those who know how to do business in Mexico. The 2013-2018 programs will offer detailed information on priority projects designed to double Mexico's level of infrastructure investment.

Invited Guests: Dorothy Lutter, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs, U.S. Commercial Service, Adolfo Luviano (TBC), International Affairs Vice Director, Mexican Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT), Carlo F. Orsenigo, Country Manager, CH2M HILL. Host: Diego Gattesco Senior Trade Specialist & Trade Americas Team Leader, U.S. Department of Commerce. For more information contact: adrian.orta@trade.gov
