Arizona-Mexico Forum: Approaches for cross-border collaborations

Recent global developments have underscored the importance of Arizona's relationship with Mexico. At the Arizona-Mexico Forum experts and leaders from both sides of the border will explore the best ways to capitalize on current opportunities for sustainable economic growth through innovative cross-border partnerships.

The event aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth. It will feature an outlook on Arizona-Mexico relations and five thematic meetings to comprehensively explore the challenges and opportunities for economic development in the Arizona-Sonora border region. Each thematic meeting at the forum is expected to yield three key takeaways: diagnosis, challenges and opportunities, and solutions. The Forum discussions will be made available for future reference. The School of Transborder Studies, along with partners such as RDA, will continue to promote dialogue among relevant stakeholders from both sides of the border to foster Arizona-Mexico relations with approaches that foster prosperous and sustainable communities.
