FedEx and Mexico’s Ministry of Economy have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening the competitiveness and export capacity of Mexican micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MiPyMEs). The agreement is designed to help these businesses expand both nationally and internationally.
A key element of the partnership is that MiPyMEs certified as “Hecho en México” will be eligible for discounts of up to 45% on domestic and international shipments through the FedEx Negocios program. This initiative seeks to enhance the quality, value, and global recognition of Mexican products.
The agreement also includes free online courses covering topics such as courier services, parcel delivery, and foreign trade. Additionally, specialized consulting on packaging will be offered to improve product presentation, protection, and competitiveness.
The collaboration aligns with a shared vision between FedEx Mexico and the Ministry of Economy to promote inclusive, sustainable economic growth focused on innovation during a significant period for Mexico’s economic development.
At the event announcing the agreement, officials highlighted the Ministry’s leadership in modernizing industrial policy in Mexico. They emphasized its role in creating favorable conditions for investment, innovation, and integrating Mexican companies into global supply chains.
FedEx reiterated its commitment to national economic development. The company described this agreement as a strategic effort to strengthen Mexico’s productive ecosystem and increase MiPyMEs’ export capabilities while supporting products made in Mexico entering international markets.
Mexico plays an important role in FedEx’s global value chain due to its location, economic activity, talent pool, and productive capacity among smaller businesses. Over 35 years operating in Mexico, FedEx has built a logistics network connecting Mexican innovation with more than 220 destinations worldwide.
This joint effort by the government and FedEx aims to boost competitiveness for MiPyMEs certified as “Hecho en México”—a move seen as positioning Mexico as a key player in North America’s industrial future. The partnership complements ongoing public-private initiatives intended to capitalize on nearshoring opportunities within frameworks like USMCA (TMEC), which continue to establish Mexico’s position in regional economic growth.
“FedEx firmly believes in Mexico’s potential and the strength of its entrepreneurs. For 35 years we have worked alongside the government and logistics sector to strengthen the country’s competitiveness. This agreement with the Ministry of Economy reaffirms our commitment to support MiPyMEs by facilitating their expansion and connecting Mexican innovation—and what is made in Mexico—with opportunities around the world,” said Jorge L. Torres, Vice President of Operations at FedEx Mexico.
Through this collaboration with both public institutions and private sector actors, FedEx aims to foster joint actions that encourage innovation, competitiveness, and industrial development. The coordinated effort seeks to establish Mexico as a strategic reference point for logistics while reinforcing its status as an important country for trade, investment, and regional economic growth.
