Yes, passports are a must. Some workshops may take place in either Ciudad Juarez, El Paso, or Las Cruces. At least some participants from your company need to be able to cross the border back and forth between Mexico and the United States.
Ciudad Juarez and El Paso constitute one of North America's largest concentrations of manufacturing. This regional marketplace creates significant business opportunities for SMEs and businesses capable of supplying goods and services to regional manufacturers. Furthermore, we believe that by increasing the technical skills, business expertise, and innovation capabilities of business ventures in this region, we can create the necessary momentum for local suppliers to participate in the global marketplace. At The Bridge Accelerator program, we are confident that our position in the El Paso-Juarez border region provides unique opportunities that build our community up rather than hinder our progress.
