The Trillion-Dollar Triangle: North America's Next Economic Era

-

As the 2026 USMCA review approaches, the economic future of North America enters a pivotal cycle. The three regional economies—the United States, Mexico, and Canada—now constitute one of the world’s most competitive production corridors, with deep industrial links in energy, advanced manufacturing, technology, and services. At the same time, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to drive an unprecedented surge of infrastructure investment, tourism flows, and cross-border economic activity. Against a backdrop of trade uncertainty, rising regionalization, and growing investor demand for resilient markets, experts in this session will suggest how North America might leverage the USMCA revision, strengthen trilateral competitiveness, and harness World Cup momentum to unlock the next trillion-dollar opportunity for the continent.
