This morning, the thirteenth edition of the American Chamber Mexico business summit, in its Guadalajara chapter, began at the Congress Center of the Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Campus Guadalajara.
The event was inaugurated by Roberto Arechederra Pacheco, Secretary of Economic Development of the government of Jalisco, around 12:00 noon. “A summit like today’s, where the purpose is to be the cornerstone of the growth of companies, and to go beyond technologies to achieve this, is extremely relevant. A company that has a high purpose, a company that plays, as Simon Sinek would say, ‘an infinite game’, achieves many things in the future.”
The summit will feature lectures and talks by Alan Ventura, CEO and co-founder of Techstars 24; Judith Ortiz, president of USEM and founding partner of Suma Te Lleva; Javier Morodo, podcast host and wealth strategist; Sebastián Tonda, entrepreneur, author, advisor and speaker; Dafna Viniegra, activist for a free past and present childhood and co-founder of Infancia Libre de Abuso Sexual, and Jorge
“Next year we will be celebrating 60 years since Mr. Adolf Horn made that brilliant decision to bring the American Chamber to Guadalajara. It is an honor to welcome you to this thirteenth summit of entrepreneurs of the American Chamber Guadalajara. Today we meet as business leaders and visionaries, aware that the future of our organization does not depend only on technology, but on something deeper: the purpose we share,” said Fernando García de Llano, president of the American Chamber Guadalajara chapter.
Jalisco contributes 7.4 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which places the entity in fourth place at the national level only behind Mexico City, the State of Mexico and Nuevo León.
In addition, the state is in second place among the federal entities in job creation, with more than 223 thousand jobs since 2019 to date. For its part, Jalisco contributes 12.8 percent of the national agricultural GDP, and is the seventh entity at the national level that exports the most abroad, with the United States being the main trading partner.
Meanwhile, American companies have invested more than four billion dollars in Jalisco so far during the state’s six-year term, for which the entity has been recognized as the ‘Mexican Silicon Valley’.
“A company that wants to generate a contribution, not only to its collaborators, its clients and its entire ecosystem, but also to its community, to its city, its state, its country and, of course, this nature towards the world, is key to achieving relevant things that ensure its expansion. The conferences we are going to hear today will help us focus on the fact that talent is the most important thing in an organization,” Arechederra Pacheco concluded.
