ONLINE EVENT: After the Vote—What’s Next for Mexico’s Judiciary?
Panel Discussion and Presentation
10:00am – 12:10pm ET
RSVP
As North America approaches the 2026 review of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), the region faces both opportunity and urgency. Chapter 19 (Digital Trade), which is a pioneering component of the USMCA, established one of the most advanced frameworks for governing digital commerce among major economies. It set rules for cross-border data flows, privacy, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies, helping to shape how businesses, consumers, and governments interact in an increasingly digital world. Yet, as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services evolve at unprecedented speed, frameworks must also evolve to ensure that their principles of openness, trust, and fairness continue to support innovation, inclusion, and regional competitiveness.
The USMCA Chapter 19 Digital Trade: Executive Report and 2026 Review Outlook — an initiative of the Mexico Program at the Inter-American Dialogue — presents concrete policy recommendations to strengthen Chapter 19 of the USMCA (Digital Trade) and promote a more integrated and inclusive digital economy across North America. Developed in collaboration with leaders and experts from both sides of the border from the private sector, academia, think tanks, and civil society, this report highlights pathways for collaboration that ensure innovation serves a stronger, more integrated region.
Join us virtually on Thursday, November 20, from 10:00 AM – 12:10 PM ET, for the official launch of the Executive Report and Policy Recommendations. The event will feature the report’s authors in two panels, offering perspectives on how the region can build a forward-looking digital agenda.
