The U.S. Commercial Service Franchise Team and our U.S. Commercial Service Office in Mexico City is very proud to announce the "First Ever" Franchise Trade Mission to Mexico that will take place in March of 2010.  Mexico’s strong commercial ties to the United States make Mexico a natural path for expansion into Latin America, and we believe this Trade Mission will provide you with a valuable opportunity to successfully expand your franchise concept in the Mexican market.   The Trade Mission will take place March 3 to 5, 2010 and will include pre-arranged business matchmaking with qualified interested investors during Mexico's International Franchise Fair – the Feria Internacional de Franquicias.  In addition, you may take advantage of an optional visit to Monterrey for continued pre-qualified matchmaking opportunities.
