Guadalajara—the capital of the state of Jalisco and Mexico’s second-largest city—is known as the Mexican Silicon Valley, home to the country’s most important technological cluster and recognized worldwide for its software development. Thanks to its strategic proximity to the United States, Mexico has become a leading Latin American hub for IT and digital creative industries. Guadalajara’s booming tech ecosystem attracts recruiters from global companies such as Apple, Google, LinkedIn, Meta, and Netflix.
While Mexico City remains the country’s primary financial center, the state of Jalisco has emerged as a major technology hub with a strong focus on innovation and digital industries. After Guadalajara was selected by the Federal Government and MIT as the site of the new Digital Creative City—and received significant investment to develop the necessary infrastructure—the city consolidated its position as the core of Mexico’s digital creative industry.
