SMEs face the daily challenge of finding new customers, improving their processes, incorporating technology, accessing financing, and staying competitive in an ever-changing environment.

Facing these challenges, from September 8 to 10, Expo PyME 2026 will bring together in one single space tools, knowledge, and opportunities for training, networking, and financing, as well as access to new solutions to strengthen your businesses, improve your operations, and raise your competitiveness.

The activities prepared at the Expo will allow business owners, entrepreneurs, and their collaborators to access conferences, panels, exhibitions, and business opportunities; all free of charge.

More than 100 hours of Business Training

The training schedule includes more than 80 conferences and panels, organized into five pillars: artificial intelligence and digitalization; sales and digital platforms; business growth and motivation; economics and business; as well as finance and financing.

Artificial intelligence will be one of the central themes, with 15 conferences focused on how SMEs can leverage this technology to transform processes, improve their productivity, and face their risks. The opening keynote will be given by Engel Fonseca, with the topic “The future doesn't wait: SMEs in the era of artificial intelligence”.

More sales through digital platforms

Tools to strengthen sales through digital platforms will also be addressed. The foregoing takes on special relevance since currently, Only 5.5% of industrial SMEs have a validated e-commerce platform, while 40% have a digital strategy at least in an initial stage, which represents a wide field of opportunity for companies.

Experience and knowledge to grow

Rarely is there an opportunity to bring together, in the same space, some of Mexico's top business leaders. Expo PyME 2026 makes this exceptional gathering possible by bringing together captains of industry such as José Antonio Fernández Carbajal, Chairman of FEMSA; Daniel Servitje, Chairman of Grupo BIMBO; Enrique Zambrano, Chairman Emeritus of PROEZA; Federico Toussaint, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of LAMOSA; and Jorge Santos Reyna, President of CAINTRA; who will share their experience and vision on leadership, business growth, and the economic environment. Having them all together on the same stage is, in itself, an opportunity that is hard to find at any other event.

The economic and business environment will be another focus of the agenda, with the participation of specialists who will analyze Mexico's current challenges and the conditions faced by companies.

Among them are Enrique Quintana and Javier Tello, who will participate in a panel on economic growth and the country's structural challenges, as well as Gabriela Siller, from Banco BASE, who will provide information on major economic trends and their impact on businesses.
