Dear U.S.Exporters:
We hope 2018 is off to a successful start! In this month's newsletter, we include information about opportunities in Mexico's water and environmental technologies sector, including information about a Free Webinar on February 27 to hear from industry experts and Mexico's National Water Commission on their planned upcoming projects. We are also planning a host of other export promotion events and activities, including a Webinar on Peru's Wastewater Sector, our plans to support U.S. exhibitors at WasteExpo 2018 and much more. We welcome the opportunity to work with you, so please contact your local Trade Specialist in one of our U.S. Export Assistance Centers to engage with us today!
 Over the next few years, water, wastewater management,
and environmental technologies companies will have the opportunity to expand in
the Mexican market. The Mexican National Water Commission’s (CONAGUA) 2018 budget is
projected to be U.S. $8.0 billion; it will seek to improve infrastructure such as
dams, aqueducts, and desalination plants. $200 million of this budget will
be dedicated to upgrading existing municipalities.
Mexico's main challenges consist of over-exploitation,
inadequate infrastructure, and contamination of water resources, but part of
the plan looks to address these issues. Project focus will be both on drinking
water and municipal projects, providing excellent entry opportunities for firms
with expertise in these areas. The leading sub-sectors for U.S. companies include increased recycling, potable drinking water technologies, wastewater management, solid
waste management, soil remediation, recycling and air monitoring. The quality,
post-sale services, and guarantees offered by U.S. companies give U.S. technologies and solutions a competitive edge in the market.
To learn more about opportunities in this sector, please review our latest Market Intelligence Report on Mexico's Water and Environmental Technologies Sector. We are also excited to invite you to join our offices in Mexico, CONAGUA, and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) for a FREE webinar on Opportunities in Mexico's Water Sector, February 27, 2018 at 12:00pm Eastern. Registration is required by visiting our website HERE.
During the webinar, you will also hear about an upcoming Mexico Water Trade Mission organized by the AWWA and supported by the U.S. Commercial Service, taking place September 17-21, 2018 and including matchmaking opportunities in both Mexico City and Monterrey. For more information, you can contact the AWWA's Jane Johnson at jjohnson@awwa.org or by phone at (303) 913-0062.
 Peru's government has prioritized improvement of the country's national water and wastewater infrastructure, and is openly inviting qualified U.S. companies to bring their expertise and technologies in the design, construction, and management of wastewater facilities. Join the U.S. Commercial Service Peru, the Advocacy Center, and speakers from ProInversion (Peru’s contracting agency) and the Ministry of Housing, Construction, and Sanitation for a webinar to provide actionable intelligence and information on both immediate and forthcoming opportunities.
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 3:00-5:00pm Eastern
