The Government of Ontario invites you to participate in the Automotive Export Business Mission to the International Automotive Industry Supply Summit Mexico (IAISS) 2025 alongside a business outreach program in Queretaro.

The IAISS 2025 is a trade show co-organized by Industria Nacional de Autopartes (INA), Mexico’s equivalent to APMA. INA's large and influential membership includes several Ontario companies, including major Tier-1 suppliers. As a result, the event is expected to attract key buyers and decision-makers from OEMs and Tier-1 companies for the B2B meetings program. The mission primarily targets direct suppliers of parts and components (such as metal and plastic parts), with a secondary focus on suppliers in the fields of AMT/Industry 4.0.

The Mission will take place in Queretaro, a region with a strong presence of leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers, including General Motors, Bombardier, and Continental. These companies have established production facilities, assembly plants, and R&D centers in Queretaro. Both Ontario and Queretaro play pivotal roles in the North American automotive sector—Ontario is renowned for its automotive manufacturing, including assembly, while Queretaro specializes in the production of automotive components, hosting numerous Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers. The two regions work closely as part of the broader North American supply chain, with components and finished vehicles crossing the border regularly.

The mission program will include:
