Consejo Empresarial Mexicano

What Consejo Empresarial Mexicano does

Consejo Empresarial Mexicano (operating as CEMEXICANO, A.C.) is a Mexico City-based business council and civil association founded in 2021 to unify national representation of Mexican businesses and professional organizations across all productive sectors. The organization groups chambers of commerce, industry, services, tourism, and licensed professional colleges into a single advocacy body, deliberately addressing the long-standing fragmentation of Mexico's business representation landscape where industrial, commercial, banking, agricultural, and professional interests have historically lobbied in siloed sectoral groups. Its founding coalition of 26 organizations — 23 Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism, the country's most important industrial chamber, one professional college, and one national civil association — has expanded to more than 30 affiliated members categorized as active, honorary, or cooperator.

The organization generates revenue primarily through membership dues and affiliation fees paid by member chambers, associations, and professional colleges. Beyond its core advocacy and policy representation function (cabildeo), CEM distributes a portfolio of member benefits including transportation driver security, traveler assistance, a "Mi Pyme Protegida" SME protection service, occupational health and wellness, and an electronic wallet for groceries, gasoline, and rewards. Through a strategic partnership with Universidad Dunamis, the council also offers an educational services stack — bachillerato, licenciaturas, maestrías, technical courses, certifications, and diplomados delivered via distance learning — to its affiliates and the micro, small, and medium enterprises they serve.

CEM executes an aggressive ecosystem and international positioning strategy through a series of formal collaboration agreements in 2023: with the Cámara de Comercio e Industria México-Israel (April 2023), the Academia Fiscal Mexicana (AFIME) to draft a Fiscal Reform Proposal for the 2024-2030 legislature (April 2023), the Cámara de Comercio Mexicano Peruana (May 2023), and the Instituto Mexicano para el Desarrollo (IMDP) to launch a Center for Innovation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (May 2023). The council is led by President Juan Carlos Pérez Góngora and Vice President of Fiscal Affairs Ricardo Mendoza Quezada, operates from Paseo de la Reforma 300 in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City, reports 11-50 employees, and discloses neither revenue nor membership fee schedules in public materials.

Direct peers

• COPARMEX (Confederación Patronal de la República Mexicana): Mexico's most prominent employer and business confederation. Directly comparable to CEM as a national private-sector advocacy body representing affiliated business organizations across Mexico.
• CONCANACO (Confederación de Cámaras Nacionales de Comercio, Servicios y Turismo): National confederation of Mexican chambers of commerce, services and tourism. Directly comparable because many of CEM's 23 founding Cámaras de Comercio are CONCANACO affiliates, making them a primary incumbent for member representation.
• COMCE (Consejo Empresarial Mexicano de Comercio Exterior): Mexican business council focused on foreign trade and internationalization. Comparable for its cross-sectoral representation and emphasis on bilateral/international commercial advocacy, mirroring CEM's chamber agreements with Peru and Israel.
• ICC Mexico (International Chamber of Commerce Mexico): Mexican chapter of the International Chamber of Commerce. Comparable given CEM's international trade-promotion mandate and bilateral chamber agreements, particularly around commercial arbitration and cross-border business facilitation.
• CONCAMIN (Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Transformación): Mexico's national chamber for the transforming/manufacturing industry. Directly comparable given that one of CEM's founding members is described as the country's most important industrial chamber.

Broad incumbents

• US Chamber of Commerce: The largest business federation in the United States. Comparable as a globally recognized model for a national, cross-sectoral chamber-of-commerce advocacy body that aggregates state and sectoral associations.
• CCE (Consejo Coordinador Empresarial): Mexico's umbrella business coordinating body bringing together the largest private-sector confederations. Comparable as the highest-level national business advocacy platform that CEM aspires to complement or contest.

Regional players

• Cámara de Comercio de Lima: Peru's leading chamber of commerce and a regional counterpart. Relevant given CEM's bilateral collaboration agreement with the Cámara de Comercio Mexicano Peruana (CCPM) for cross-border trade facilitation.
• Cámara Nacional de Comercio de Chile (CNC): Chile's national chamber of commerce. Comparable as a regional counterpart within the Pacific Alliance network that CEM references in its binational chamber strategy.
• Federación Nacional de Cámaras de Comercio (FEDECAMARAS): National federation of Venezuelan chambers of commerce and industry. Comparable as a Latin American cross-sectoral chamber federation operating as a civil association with member dues and policy advocacy functions.
