More than 50 Mexican entrepreneurs participated in the First Meeting of the Ibero-American Business Mission held at the Embassy of Mexico in El Salvador, with the aim of identifying investment opportunities in the Central American country.
“The event featured business exhibition proposals on possible investment areas in construction, food, tourism, green technologies, industry, and infotechnologies. The conclave was attended by the Executive Director of the El Salvador Investment and Export Promotion Agency Invest, Samadhy Martínez Cornejo, and her technical team in investments, exports, and investment from the Salvadoran diaspora.”
In April of this year, the meeting of the Ibero-American Youth Claustro will be held, which will seek to connect young Mexican and Salvadoran entrepreneurs,” was the announcement from the consular headquarters.
During the day, investment proposals were presented in sectors such as construction, food, tourism, green technologies, industry and infotechnologies, with the purpose of boosting productive development and promoting Mesoamerican economic and commercial integration.
The official participated alongside her team specializing in investments, exports, and matters related to the Salvadoran diaspora.
Women star in commerce
The
Embassy of Mexico in El Salvador and the
Association of Women Entrepreneurs Network agreed to promote the growth of
Salvadoran women entrepreneurs through the coordination of economic initiatives. During the meeting, the Mexican representation reaffirmed its willingness to develop training activities, networking spaces, and possible cooperation projects to consolidate businesses led by women.
The
Network of Businesswomen detailed the programs it offers, aimed at training and creating contact networks that favor the advancement of owners of micro and small businesses in various sectors. The
embassy emphasized the importance of strengthening female economic empowerment through future joint actions.
The
Mexican investment in
El Salvador reached a historic level of USD3,577.5 million between January and September 2025, according to data published by the Milenio newspaper. During the 2021-2024 period,
El Salvador captured more than USD12,000 million from
Mexico, according to the
Central Reserve Bank (BCR). About 35% was channeled to the manufacturing sector, followed by commerce (19%), financial services (15%) and transportation (10%).
The growth in investment, which exceeded the figures for the same period in 2024 by 2.7% and the records of seven years ago by 41.7%, is linked to the improvement of security in the country, the existence of clearer rules for investments and a favorable regulatory environment to attract capital, according to
Milenio. The media points out that these factors generated interest in Mexican companies with expansion capacity.
Mexico is thus consolidating as one of the most relevant investment partners for
El Salvador.
