Swedish Business Leaders Eye Expanded Automotive Ties in Mexico

In a concerted effort to deepen economic collaboration, Sweden's Ambassador to Mexico, Gunnar Aldén, recently led a delegation of Swedish business executives to the State of Mexico to explore new opportunities and enhance existing partnerships, primarily within the automotive industry. The high-level meeting, held in mid-October, marked a significant step in solidifying Sweden’s long-standing economic presence in Mexico, focusing on bolstering investments and adapting to the evolving global trade environment.

Accompanied by a group of prominent Swedish companies, Ambassador Aldén met with key officials from the State of Mexico, including Laura González Hernández, Secretary of Economic Development. Their discussions centered on the expanding role of Swedish firms in the region and the potential for future collaboration. “For us, it was important to demonstrate what the State of Mexico means,” Aldén remarked in an interview with El Economista. “We have a very strong presence in various sectors such as automotive, digitalization, mining, life sciences, and more.”
