In a recent conversation, Rocki and Ryan McCrady talked about Illinois’ significant relationship with Mexico and the value it holds for both places. The discussion focused on the significance of international collaboration, particularly when it comes to economic development and cultural exchange.

With a packed itinerary of key meetings, the trip was more than just a diplomatic gesture— it was a move toward building lasting and productive partnerships.

The visit to Mexico included meaningful conversations with influential leaders and organizations, all aimed at opening doors for Illinois-based businesses and creating economic cooperation.

Ryan emphasized how both sides found common ground and shared goals, from manufacturing to agriculture and technology.
