US-Mexico Binational Aerospace Workshop for Supplier Development

Description
The first US-Mexico Binational Aerospace Workshop for Supplier Development was organized by Arizona State University (ASU) in partnership with Monterrey Tech as part of the activities of the USAID-sponsored graduate program on logistics of the aerospace industry. The workshop was also co-sponsored by the Secretariat of Industrial Development of the State of Chihuahua; and it took place in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico on October 5th and 6th, 2006.

One of the main objectives of the USAID-sponsored program on logistics is the improvement of the global competitiveness of an integrated North American aerospace industry, for the benefit of the economy and the welfare of North America.

The Workshop included participation of OEM’s, representatives from the Mexican Federal Government, government of a selected group of Mexican States; developers, international and Mexican suppliers. Some of the main objectives of this workshop included:
  • Set strategic directions for aerospace supplier development in Mexico
  • Identify future trends of the industry in the global market
  • Get information about the current state of the aerospace industry in Mexico
  • Get information on current programs and incentives for supplier development in Mexico
  • Create a space for interaction between OEM's, current and potential suppliers from the US and Mexico
  • Identify specific opportunities for aerospace suppliers in Mexico

Our vision for this event is to provide a platform for the creation of partnerships between OEM's, federal and state governments, and current/potential suppliers from the US and Mexico. The expected partnerships woud facilitate the emergence of a strong, efficient and agile aerospace supplier base in Mexico, with close ties to the US aerospace industry. We believe that the workshop provided an opportunity for the aerospace OEM’s to communicate their plans and supplier needs, as well as enabled Attendee suppliers to voice their core competencies and capabilities to current/prospective customers.
