This week, Henry Moth and a delegation of U.S. companies representing USMEXA – the U.S. East Coast–Mexico Business Alliance – traveled to Mexico City for a high-level roundtable with Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard and Consul General Juan Sabines. It was, quite frankly, a room full of doers. No hand-waving, just handshakes – and plenty of them. Representatives from multiple industries sat around that polished wood table to report back on real progress since the last Florida Trade Mission and to pave the way for what’s coming next. And it’s big. ✅ Henry Moth, in his dual role as President of Red Meters and CEO of USMEXA, led the charge by presenting a bold initiative to help restore a river in Mexico – an environmental project blending technology and social impact. ✅ Agreements were signed that move the needle on sustainability, tech, and infrastructure – from transforming waste into building materials to rolling out “Made in Mexico” certifications for globally marketed apps and consumer goods. ✅ Major companies like Niagara Waters confirmed further investment across three states – real jobs, real expansion. ✅ And mental health? Not left out. A new app focused on global wellness will launch from this collaboration, further proof that our trade relationships can (and should) go beyond commerce. This isn’t just networking. It’s nation-building. 📍Mark your calendar: August 24–29, 2025. The 4th Florida Trade Mission to Mexico will bring 100+ U.S. companies to the table – literally – for a week of business matchmaking, bilateral meetings, state-level negotiations, and high-value connections. 👉 Want in?

On behalf of our team and all the participants – thank you to Secretary Ebrard, Consul Sabines, and our many partners in Mexico for your continued openness, insight, and commitment to collaboration. There’s no going back. This relationship is only going forward. See you in August! 🌍🤝 #USMEXA #FloridaTradeMission #MadeInMexico #EconomicDiplomacy #TradeWithPurpose #HenryMoth #RedMeters #BusinessWithImpact
