Specialized training in logistics and foreign trade seeks to take a new step with the second phase of Ruta Logística MX 2026 , an initiative coordinated by the Ministry of Economy (SE) that seeks to expand the participation of the sector and exceed the more than 45,000 registrations achieved in the last edition.
Under the title “Mexico, the New Route of the World ,” the program will begin on September 22 and run until November 24. The sessions will be virtual, free of charge, and will take place every Tuesday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with a program of 10 modules.
In this new phase, national and international specialists, academics, and representatives from the logistics community will participate to address issues related to logistics, foreign trade, and supply chains .
The program is supported by more than 82 business associations and chambers, such as the National Association of Importers and Exporters of the Mexican Republic (ANIERM) and Corazón Logístico , among others, in addition to a network of ambassadors that will expand the reach of the content and bring the Ruta Logística MX experience to new audiences.
One of the relevant changes in this second phase will be the participation of the National Center for Higher Education Evaluation (Ceneval) , with a scheme to recognize participation and completion of training.
The growth of Ruta Logística MX has been significant since its inception. The program began in 2025 with a 13-module cycle and brought together more than 10,000 online participants . In addition, the Ministry of Economy issued approximately 4,000 certificates to those who met the established requirements.
By 2026, the initiative had seen a significant increase in participation. The first phase, held between May and June, reached approximately 45,000 registered participants , according to information released at the end of that phase. Participants had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge through an exam and progress toward a certification or micro-credential program.
This growth was accompanied by a new professionalization strategy. In March 2026, the Ministry of Economy and Ceneval signed an agreement to develop 10 specialized micro-credentials for Ruta Logística MX , focused on technical skills, operational processes, and supply chain management.
Ruta Logística MX is beginning to establish itself as a training and networking platform for companies, business organizations, academia, and public institutions . The addition of Ceneval aims to ensure the continuity of acquired capabilities through accreditation mechanisms.
The program’s evolution also reflects the growing demand for specialized talent in an industry facing regulatory, technological, and commercial changes. In this context, the Ministry of Economy is proposing Ruta Logística MX as part of the actions linked to the Mexico Plan , with the aim of strengthening productive capacity and competitiveness.
Importance of Logistics Route MX 2026
Ignacio Aguado Hernández, Director General of Innovation, Services and Domestic Trade at the Ministry of Economy, stated that Ruta Logística MX arose in response to the shortage of skilled labor facing the logistics sector , and indicated that the program responds to a mandate from Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Economy, to strengthen training and talent in the industry.
“Logistics is one of the pillars of the country, and we are following that trend worldwide, and Mexico is on the right track, and one of the challenges we have is to enhance the talent we already have, but now we need to professionalize it, to make it a habit to have continuous training, continuous education, to be constantly updating ourselves,” said Aguado Hernández regarding Ruta Logística MX 2026.
He explained that the impact of this program is to strengthen human capital in the logistics sector in the face of the changes that the world economy and trade are experiencing, which “is characterized by constant and sudden changes, and that the country will be more competitive and resilient if we have professional teams.”
