France in Mexico Week 2026: A Bicentennial Celebration of Business and Culture
Mexico City, September 27, 2026 – The highly anticipated France in Mexico Week 2026 is set to begin in Mexico City from October 20 to 25, followed by events in Monterrey and Querétaro. This extensive program, organized by the French-Mexican Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI France México), marks the bicentennial of relations between Mexico and France, fostering collaboration in business, innovation, talent, and culture.
Although named a “week,” the celebration will span multiple dates and locations, offering a diverse agenda for both professionals and the general public. CCI France México highlights this event as a prime opportunity to connect businesses and institutions from both countries, while also bringing the rich Franco-Mexican relationship closer to the public.
Key Dates and Locations
The activities are distributed across three major Mexican cities:
- Mexico City: October 20 to 25, 2026
- Monterrey, Nuevo León: November 10 and 11, 2026
- Querétaro: December 3, 2026
The initial phase will concentrate activities in the nation’s capital, before moving to Monterrey and Querétaro. Attendees planning to participate outside Mexico City are advised to consult the specific agenda for their chosen location, as not all events will be replicated in every city.
One of the confirmed events is the France-Mexico Economic Forum 2026, scheduled for October 20 at 8:30 AM at the Hacienda de los Morales in Mexico City. This forum aims to facilitate discussions on crucial economic topics such as investment, supply chains, productivity, energy, and agribusiness, reinforcing the bilateral economic ties.
Diverse Program of Activities
The program includes a blend of specialized gatherings and broader public engagements. CCI France México’s presentation outlines thematic forums, business meetings, gala dinners, and a festival designed for consumers. Additionally, there will be dedicated spaces for employment and technology, including ‘France Recruits’ and meetings for founders and leaders in the tech sector.
The France-Mexico Economic Forum will serve as a cornerstone of the agenda in the capital, bringing together business representatives, authorities, and specialists to explore opportunities and challenges in economic cooperation. The week is also positioned as a platform for innovation, talent, and culture, allowing interested individuals to select activities tailored to their profiles and the specifics of each call.
The bicentennial commemoration provides a significant backdrop for these encounters. Beyond celebrating shared history, the Chamber seeks to initiate discussions on future investments and strengthen links between the productive sectors of both countries. Notable figures presented as event ambassadors include Manola Zabalza, Manuel Santiago Escobedo, Fernando Chico Pardo, and Juan Gallardo Thurlow.
For those seeking public activities, a festival is among the planned formats. However, it is advisable to check the specific details, including venue, schedule, and entry conditions, as these may vary from the business forums or invitation-only meetings.
