Tijuana, the center of one of Mexico’s aerospace clusters, will host a forum in March to bring together aircraft manufacturers and suppliers of the parts and components they need.  The event will feature a conference series as well as one-on-one matchmaking meetings.  Full information and registration can be found here:
