Xinhua, October 7, 2016 Adjust font size:

Around 1,500 entrepreneurs and officials gathered for a forum Thursday in Guanajuato in central Mexico to promote investment and technological innovation in the Latin American country.

The 3rd Culture, Information Technology, Energy and Knowledge Forum, which is taking place on Oct. 6-7 in Guanajuato, focuses on aerospace, manufacturing, automobile, technology, finance, energy and services industries.

"We want to provoke an in-depth exchange between technology and innovation, energy and manufacturing as they are (the things) that move industry and impact the country's development," said Mexico's former President Vicente Fox Quesada (2000-2006) at the inauguration ceremony.

The forum will have 30 world-renowned speakers, including Mexican Energy Minister Pedro Joaquin Coldwell, former Economy Minister Eduardo Sojo and Chief Information Officer at the Inter-American Development Bank Nuria Simo Vila.

Over 60 exhibitors will also attend the forum. Endi
