Why join CanCham?

In the context of the 80th anniversary of the relationship between Mexico and Canada, which will be celebrated in 2024, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Mexico (CanCham) is a key player in building bridges of collaboration and business.

This bilateral relationship, multifaceted and rich in history, has economic, political, social and cultural factors that have strengthened the exchange based on mutual respect. In addition, both countries have recognized the importance of partnering, both in economic terms, as well as on relevant issues such as climate change and education, among others. 

CanCham's presence in Mexico's Bajío region, which includes the states of Querétaro, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosí, is an indication that the region has experienced remarkable economic growth and has positioned itself as a key industrial epicenter in Mexico, in diverse sectors such as automotive, aerospace and agribusiness. 

Investment opportunities in the Bajío region of Mexico are booming due to its competitive advantages such as: strategic location that allows easy geographic proximity and logistical access to the center of the country, facilitating international trade; industrial level infrastructure and good quality of life; the quality of skilled and specialized technical and professional workers; cultural similarities and schedules; and the quality of services and supply. All of these advantages offer the opportunity to relocate business operations and take advantage of these benefits to optimize operating costs, which is what we know today as nearshoring. 

For Canadians, the Bajio is an attractive opportunity because Canada has advanced technology and expertise in areas such as mining, energy, education and environmental technologies that can be transferred to the Bajio to strengthen its industrial capabilities. 

In addition, there is a legal and macroeconomic environment that offers stability to investors, favoring business. At CanCham, we create strategic alliances between Canadian and Mexican companies, which prosper and are supported by government policies that promote and safeguard investments for the sustained development of the Bajío region and key sectors.

In this sense, CanCham offers member companies comparative advantages in the different industries we represent. Mainly because it is a platform for expanding the network of high-level contacts through networking and events focused on the needs of members, who can find in CanCham their representation before government agencies and regulatory entities for trade policies that strengthen the industry. They also have valuable information for decision-making and business strategies. 

One of the main objectives of membership is to increase business opportunities for our members, and to provide them with a tool for collective influence, access to exclusive resources and opportunities for growth.
