WHY CANADA & MEXICO?
- Canada has highly advanced manufacturing sectors producing (in 2021) $8.8 billion in automotive parts and components and $50.4 billion in aerospace products and parts.
- In 2021, Canada imported $106.3 million of industrial robots, $128 million of automatic welding equipment, & $ 420.9 million of Automatic Regulating, Controlling Instruments & Apparatus.
- 30% of Mexico's manufacturing is automotive-related but advanced manufacturing often occurs within the pharmaceutical, electronics, medical devices, and food/beverage sectors.
WHY BRAZIL?
- 5 years ago, Brazil's Government established a public-private sector Industry 4.0 Working Group aimed at building policies to support the development of advanced manufacturing in the country.
- Digital automation using sensors to control processes remains the top technology in use in Brazil. In 2021, 46% of the respondents were using it, compared to 27% in 2016.
- Additive manufacturing has seen increased adoption, with 16% of respondents making use of it in 2021, while only 5% used it in 2016%.
WHY SOUTHERN CONE?
- Opportunities exist within areas such as artificial intelligence, IOT, robotics, 3D printing,& cloud services.
- Less than 10% of SME manufacturing features additive manufacturing technologies. 80% of SME manufacturing base utilizes first and second generation technology. Get a “first to market” competitive advantage!
- Most manufacturing SMEs are currently considering adopting advanced manufacturing technologies, but few have taken action yet.
- Argentina government launched an additive manufacturing development program in 2021, which presents an area for potential cooperation.
