The Mexico Business Summit was created in 2003 at the initiative of Miguel Aleman Velasco then the Governor of the state of Veracruz, who serves as Chairman of the Summit, providing leadership and guidance for the development of the annual meeting. The creation of the Summit responded to the increasing need for a non-partisan, independent platform bringing together political and business leaders, along with thought and media personalities from Mexico and abroad to think the future of Mexico in a changing global context.

The Summit has now become the Number One business and economic event not only in Mexico but for the whole region.
