Grow Globally in Guatemala
Ready to explore business opportunities in Central America?
For Utah companies looking to grow in Central America, Guatemala is a market worth watching. CAFTA-DR allows the vast majority of U.S. consumer and industrial goods to enter duty-free, lowering a key barrier to export growth. Add strengthening commercial ties and opportunities for new partnerships, and Guatemala is primed for small and midsize businesses ready to expand.
This conversation will explore where Utah businesses can begin or expand their operations in Guatemala, from tech and manufacturing to nearshoring and emerging industries. For businesses on both sides, those shared priorities are creating opportunities for trade, investment, and long-term partnerships.
