Expo Potosí Industrial 2026: Opportunities for Suppliers in San Luis Potosí

San Luis Potosí is gearing up for a new edition of Expo Potosí Industrial, an event designed to go beyond mere exhibition and create tangible opportunities for companies looking to integrate into supply chains. The 2026 edition will take place on October 8th and 9th at the Potosí Business Center. According to the Secretariat of Economic Development (Sedeco), it has already surpassed three thousand registrations. The primary objective is to connect anchor companies with suppliers through business meetings and matchmaking tools.

What Opportunities Will Potosí Suppliers Have at Expo Potosí Industrial 2026?

A key attraction for supplier companies will be the opportunity to establish direct contact with buyer companies and showcase their capabilities to potential clients. Among the companies identified by iMatch.mx are:

• AGC Group
• Midori Auto Leather Mexicana
• Automann
• CRYOINFRA
• Daikin Manufacturing México
• Dayco
• Impro Aerospace México
• Impro Precision Industries Limited

This will allow supplier companies to identify key contacts, understand needs, and demonstrate their technical, production, or logistical capacity to become a qualified supplier. iMatch.mx will serve as the platform to connect companies before and during the event.

Expo Potosí Industrial Will Feature B2B Meetings

For those seeking a more focused business engagement, the B2B Match modality includes dedicated business meetings and access to the networking platform. The official website lists a price of 8,250 pesos plus VAT for this option. Exhibitor packages are also available, offering booth spaces of 3x3, 3x6, and 3x9 meters, with published prices ranging from 46,200 to 94,600 pesos plus VAT, depending on the package.

The visitor modality allows access to the exhibition and conferences through prior registration. For a Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) that has not yet established commercial relationships with the large corporations operating in San Luis Potosí, the event’s value lies precisely in bridging the gap between local offerings and industrial buyers.

Smart Manufacturing to Be a Central Theme

The agenda also aims to highlight the direction of the regional industry. Activities will commence on October 8th with registration and networking starting at 8:00 AM, followed by the inauguration at 10:00 AM. Subsequently, sessions will cover corridor governance, the new North American industrial corridor, and smart manufacturing.

The smart manufacturing discussion is particularly relevant for suppliers aiming to join industrial supply chains, as it will address topics such as:

• Artificial intelligence
• Automation
• Robotics
• Specialized talent
• Supplier development

Notable participants include Julio García, Executive Director of the General Motors plant in San Luis Potosí, and Antares Ortega, Vice President of Corporate Functions at Daikin Manufacturing México. The moderation will be led by Alejandro Flores Rivera, Plant Manager of ABB San Luis Potosí. On October 9th, the agenda continues with the session “The Next Wave of Industrial Investment,” focusing on opportunities arising from manufacturing growth.

An Event to Strengthen Local Supply Chains

The strategy behind Expo Potosí Industrial aligns with one of the key challenges for Potosí’s industry: enabling more local companies to integrate into the supply chains of major corporations. Simply having production capacity is not enough. Suppliers must demonstrate quality standards, robust processes, advanced technology, responsiveness, and, depending on the sector, specific certifications.

Therefore, the event can serve as an entry point for companies that already possess these capabilities but have yet to establish connections with industrial buyers. Sedeco specifically envisions the 2026 edition as a platform to promote local sourcing and higher-value manufacturing, with participation from anchor companies, suppliers, and other stakeholders in the industrial ecosystem.

How to Register for Expo Potosí Industrial 2026?

The event will be held at the Potosí Business Center, located at Blvd. Antonio Rocha Cordero #125, Desarrollo del Pedregal. Visitor registration is available on the official website and offers free access with prior registration. It is important to note that the portal also provides B2B Match and exhibition modalities for companies seeking more active commercial participation.

Free visitor registration will be available until October 9th at 5:00 PM, subject to availability, here: Registration and Modalities for Expo Potosí Industrial 2026.

The expectation is that over two days, companies, buyers, investors, academic institutions, and suppliers will find new points of connection. For Potosí-based companies, the primary challenge will be converting these encounters into commercial relationships that can lead to their permanent integration into supply chains.
