Mexico City, Mexico — The Ministry of Economy has announced a two year investment of $1 billion USD by Flex. The company says they are investing the money in artificial intelligence data centres across Mexico.
The centres are slated for Guadalajara, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua where at least 5,000 jobs will be created.
During the Presidential press conference Friday, Mexico’s Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard announced the $1 billion USD investment by Flex. He says the additional investment will strengthen advanced manufacturing, data centers and AI infrastructure.
Ebrard says the investment will be made between 2026 and 2028 by the company Flex for the development of Artificial Intelligence Data Centers. This is projected to generate more than 5,000 direct jobs, adding to the more than 40,000 that the company already generates in the country.
Ebrard highlighted that this investment generates a very broad supply network, making Mexico a strategic location for the development of technology and data centers.
Guillermo del Río, Flex’s Director of Business Development and Government Affairs, explained that this investment aims to replace imports. He said the money will be implemented mainly in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
He acknowledged President Sheinbaum’s leadership in always seeking innovation, economic development and advanced manufacturing in Mexico. He also thanked the Mexican government for its support in making this investment a reality, which adds to the $2.3 billion USD they have already invested in the country.
“Reaffirming our commitment to Mexico and recognizing that its support has been invaluable to us,” he said during the Friday announcement.
