en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the opening of the 28th Logistics Forum, the Mexican state of Querétaro reaffirmed its position as one of the most dynamic industrial and logistics hubs in the country. The forum, chaired by Marco Antonio Del Prete Tercero, head of the Ministry of Sustainable Development (SEDESU), brought together participants from the supply chain, foreign trade, and logistics services sectors. He emphasized the state's strategic importance in global value chains.

The logistics forum brought together companies and experts related to foreign trade, supply chains, and logistics services.

Del Prete noted that the forum was born from the need to provide a space for companies and industry experts to update their knowledge, build connections, and develop strategic alliances. Since 2011, this initiative has grown into one of Querétaro's most important events in logistics and foreign trade training, holding 28 editions in in-person, online, and hybrid formats. Del Prete stated at the forum's opening that SEDESU had a clear vision from the start: to create a free, professional, high-level space to strengthen the participants in the logistics and foreign trade chain.

In his speech, the SEDESU head highlighted that Querétaro's annual exports exceed $18 billion, a figure that ranks the state 11th among national exporting economies and makes it one of the most important manufacturing platforms in the Bajío region. The state maintains close ties with global supply chains by exporting auto parts, aerospace equipment, machinery, electronic components, and advanced technology to markets such as the United States, Canada, and Europe. This industrial capacity has allowed Querétaro to consolidate its competitiveness amid the international landscape and the wave of investment relocation.

Del Prete also warned of the increasingly complex international environment companies face due to regulatory changes, tariff rules, process digitalization, the application of artificial intelligence in foreign trade, and new supply chain requirements. He added that the upcoming review of the USMCA will have a decisive impact on North American regional competitiveness and create opportunities for more adaptable companies. Furthermore, Del Prete acknowledged the participation of sponsoring companies such as DSV, Términal Logistics, and Wisdom, which supported this edition of the forum and contribute to strengthening the state's logistics and foreign trade ecosystem.
