This effort is carried out in collaboration with the Jaliscienses Unidos en Acción (AJUA) association, a non-profit organization focused on the development of Jalisco people on both sides of the border, which together will promote handicrafts, processed and packaged foods, tequila, fashion, culture, and accessories.
The tour includes activities with the Foreign Ministry together with the delegations of the State of Mexico and Puebla, to address the topics of industries such as advanced transportation, aerospace, health sciences, creative industries, hospitality and tourism, and promoting innovation in Los Angeles.
