At HANNOVER MESSE 2018, Mexico will be honored as the show\u2019s official Partner Country. A formal agreement for Mexico\u2019s Partner Country participation was signed today at this year\u2019s show by representatives of Deutsche Messe and the Mexican government. Industry 4.0, energy and environmental technologies, vocational training, startups and direct foreign investment are among the themes that will feature prominently in Mexico\u2019s 2018 showcase. Mexico is the first Latin American nation to ever present itself as a Partner Country of HANNOVER MESSE.<\/p>\n
The agreement giving the official green light for Mexico\u2019s 2018 Partner Country participation was signed by Deutsche Messe\u2019s Managing Board member Dr. Jochen K\u00f6ckler and ProM\u00e9xico CEO Paulo Carre\u00f1o in the presence of Mexico\u2019s Secretary of Economy, Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal. ProM\u00e9xico is the Mexican government\u2019s international trade and investment promotion agency. \u201cMexico will now be the star attraction on the international industrial stage for an entire year,\u201d remarked K\u00f6ckler. \u201cThis is a win-win partnership for everyone and will do much to grow and improve economic relations between Mexico and Europe,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Currently, almost 80 percent of Mexico\u2019s foreign trade is with countries in the North American economic zone.\u00a0 Mexico is currently also seeking to negotiate a new, reformed free trade agreement with the European Union aimed at expanding trans-Atlantic trade and investment. Against this background, the Partner Country participation at HANNOVER MESSE 2018 is an excellent opportunity for Mexico to present its new technologies, investment opportunities, innovative growth strategies and research projects to the shakers and movers of the global industrial scene.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Mexico has steadily grown in importance as a market and investment location for companies in many European countries, including Germany. More and more German subcontractors are establishing a presence in Mexico in order to service its growing manufacturing industry. At the same time, the country\u2019s energy market liberalization strategy is opening up exciting opportunities for German investors. Moreover, Mexico is by far the biggest country of destination for German exports to Latin America.<\/p>\n
Mexico has a population of 120 million, making it the world\u2019s most populous Spanish-speaking country. It is an OECD member, the world\u2019s 15th-largest economy and generally seen as an advanced emerging market and a developed country. Mexico is the world\u2019s 13th largest exporting nation and its 12th largest importing nation. It is also a major exporter of oil and producer of automobiles. The country is in fact the world\u2019s fourth largest exporter in the automotive sector.<\/p>\n
Mexico is Latin America\u2019s second-largest economy, achieving a GDP of USD 1,043 billion in 2016 \u2013 an increase of 2.3 percent on 2015. The country\u2019s GDP comes primarily from the services sector, industry and commerce and in 2016 amounted to about USD 8,623 per capita.<\/p>\n
