IPC COMMUNITY 40 SPRING 2023 the continued growth of the country's elec- tronics manufacturing industry. The Voice of IPC IPC participates in various industry forums and events to learn more about the profile of visitors and exhibitors. Having a physical pres- ence at these events allows us to share this powerful message: IPC is the voice and the champion of the electronics industry and has positioned itself here to support companies in increasing their quality, performance, and growth. We have learned a lot through these inter- views, pilots, and forums; we intend to inten- sify the face-to-face interactions with what I consider the three key pillars of the elec- tronics manufacturing industry in Mexico: the local governments, academic and training institutions, and the enterprise. Along these lines, the IPC Mexico team has been meeting with industrial clusters in different regions in Mexico. The industrial clusters are concentra- tions of related industries grouped by region (or by state) and they are diverse, key actors in the development of industry in these regions. They are comprised of local governments, academies, or institutions in charge of educa- tion, training and technical support, vendors, and service providers. IPC is working with an important aerospace cluster in the State of Queretaro, with plans to sign a collaborative agreement at the Mexico Aerospace Fair (FAMEX), April 26–29, in Mex- ico City. This event is organized by the Min- istry of National Defense through the Mexi- can Air Force. We are enthusiastic about this opportunity and will keep you updated on its progress. The plans that IPC has for Mexico are very exciting and I feel deeply privileged to spear- head these efforts and put the capabilities and excellence of our country's electronics industry at the forefront of the race in this mar- ket. There is certainly a lot of work to be done but the region and the industry can always count on my commitment to work tirelessly, providing all IPC member companies with the tools to achieve and exceed their business objectives. We want Mexico and the world to know that IPC makes things happen for the global electronics manufacturing industry. We are here to help them all build electronics better. $1.150 trillion Expected GDP of Mexico in 2023 Want to chat with Lorena?
