Invest Monterrey participated in Sweden–Mexico Day 2026 at the Embassy of Sweden in Mexico City. The event brought together Swedish and Mexican business leaders to discuss trade, investment and opportunities for collaboration. It also gave Invest Monterrey a chance to connect directly with Swedish companies interested in doing business in Mexico.
 

Trade and Business Growth on the Agenda

Swedish Ambassador Pernilla Josefsson-Lazo opened the event with remarks, followed by a discussion on the modernized EU–Mexico Global Agreement. The session covered updated rules for digital trade and broader access to government contracts, two areas relevant to companies assessing opportunities between Mexico and the European Union.
 

The agenda continued with workshops and panels on expanding business operations in Mexico and developing partnerships with local companies. Other sessions examined how Mexican manufacturers can improve productivity and use resources more efficiently. The program connected broader trade discussions with practical questions companies face when growing their operations.
 

Networking activities gave participants an opportunity to speak directly with Swedish businesses. For Invest Monterrey, those conversations complemented the formal sessions by providing a setting to discuss business interests and potential connections with companies in the region.
 

Swedish Companies Share Their Investment Outlook

Business Sweden presented its 2026 Business Climate Survey during the event. Among the Swedish companies surveyed in Mexico, 44% said they planned to increase investment over the next 12 months, while 42% expected to maintain current levels. Together, 86% of respondents expected to maintain or increase investment over that period.
 

The survey offered a view of investment plans among Swedish companies already operating in Mexico. For Invest Monterrey, participating in Sweden–Mexico Day was an opportunity to hear those perspectives and continue building relationships with companies that could benefit from introductions to local partners as they evaluate business or investment opportunities in Monterrey.
