the Pathways for Trade SYMPOSIUM "PORT LAREDO TRADE WITH THE WORLD"

The 29th annual Pathways for Trade Symposium is a platform used to convey to the international trade community the opportunity to hear current and projected trends from experts on trade issues and policies that impact the U.S., Mexico, and Canada corridors and industries like transportation, manufacturing, energy, and workforce.

This year’s theme was “Port Laredo Trade with the World." We had experts from our top trade partners such as Canada, China, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, and Thailand, who provided insight on the progress of their country's trade with Texas and North America as well as the potential future of our country’s partnerships.
