NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The North Capital Forum (NCF) is a premier three-day gathering that brings together leaders from across North America to explore the region’s most pressing challenges and co-create innovative, mutually beneficial solutions. Hosted annually by the U.S.-Mexico Foundation, NCF provides a dynamic platform for government officials, private sector leaders, scholars, and civil society representatives to shape the future of trilateral collaboration.

Since its inaugural edition in 2022, held in Mexico City, the forum has grown significantly—welcoming 700+ participants in 2022, 800+ in 2023, and over 1,100 in 2024. With more than 150 expert speakers across 50+ sessions and activities, the North Capital Forum is a hub of dialogue, insight, and proposal-making aimed at strengthening the integration of the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

At the heart of NCF is our vision to advance The North American Way—an approach rooted in shared values, cross-border ties, and a common commitment to innovation, prosperity, and social responsibility.
