WTC Monterrey awarded as export support institute

Jun 25, 2019

On June 18, WTC Monterrey received the Award for Exporting Merit, Rodolfo González Garza 2019, as a Foreign Trade Promotion Institution. 

The award was the result of the constant effort of WTC Monterrey to support SMEs in the State of Nuevo León to initiate or consolidate exports. The need to support SMEs is enormous. Only 1% of all SMEs export. Moreover, 90% of everything that is exported is made by a group of less than 100 companies. 

Mexico in general and Monterrey in particular, taking into account the number of free trade agreements, the proximity to the United States. and the imminent reality of a tiny growth of the national economy, should redouble efforts to promote exports. This promotion should be like direct export or indirect export, when developing suppliers. 

It is commendable that the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, through its WTC Monterrey, is struggling to generate an impact on the state's SMEs.
