Application of MBD for international research and collaboration

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources.
Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are looking for an immediate nearshoring, and reshoring of their current supply chains, and new ones related to electromobility (e-mobility). e-mobility is an across concept, which includes sustainable green transportation, driver-less vehicles, renewable sources, smart grids, internet of things, cyber security, among others. Currently e-mobility is a worldwide major player at government, economy, industry, and society levels, and it will change the world as we know it today. Therefore, this project will help to train the best talented people, which will lead the nearshoring, reshoring, and supply chains of the different e-mobility’s areas.
