Mexico Emerges as AI Compute Hub as CloudHQ Opens Querétaro Campus

  • Thread Author
Cloud HQ’s US$4.8 billion commitment to a six‑building data center campus in Querétaro and Nvidia’s headline-grabbing capital moves — a US$5 billion stake in Intel and an up-to‑US$100 billion partnership with OpenAI — are not isolated headlines; they are connected beats in a single global story: capital, compute, and control are consolidating around AI infrastructure, and Mexico has just stepped closer to the center of that map.

Background​

Mexico’s private sector and policymakers are reacting to a two‑front reality. On one hand, hyperscalers and data center developers are racing to expand capacity to support generative AI workloads that need unprecedented power, cooling, and networking. On the other, national regulators and business associations are scrambling to define rules and workforce programs that ensure AI adoption delivers shared economic benefit rather than concentrated risk.
CloudHQ’s announcement to build a 360 MW campus in Querétaro — six critical computing and cloud storage facilities with an expected operational footprint by 2027 — signals that Mexico is moving from peripheral hosting to anchor infrastructure for the region. The developer’s own campus materials show a campus designed to support high‑density IT load and regional expansion.
At the same time, Nvidia’s simultaneous strategic capital deployments — a reported US$5 billion investment in Intel to deepen chip collaboration and a staggered, up‑to‑US$100 billion plan with OpenAI to supply and finance massive datacenter capacity — highlight how the AI supply chain is being reconfigured through large equity and commercial commitments. These moves amplify demand signals for data center capacity and reshape vendor relationships across the stack.
Together, these developments underscore three urgent trends: (1) the escalation of global compute demand and the resulting geography of datacenters; (2) the increasing role of strategic investments (not just sales) by chipmakers and platforms to secure long‑term customers; and (3) the accelerating need for governance frameworks and workforce upskilling to ensure benefits scale beyond a small set of firms and places.

CloudHQ in Querétaro: What the investment actually buys Mexico​

Project scope and timeline​

  • CloudHQ plans a 360 MW critical IT load campus (6 buildings × ~48 MW IT load each) near Querétaro Airport, with an advertised ready‑for‑service window around 2027. The campus will be powered by an onsite substation and aims to use waterless cooling approaches to reduce local environmental strain.
  • The developer projects 7,200 construction jobs during build‑out and around 900 permanent, highly skilled operations roles once facilities are live — plus ancillary employment across logistics, maintenance, and regional services. Local reporting corroborates the job estimates and emphasizes the campus’ scale for Mexico.

Strategic value for Mexico​

  • Querétaro sits between major population and logistics corridors, making it attractive for latency‑sensitive cloud services and nearshore adoption by U.S. and Latin American customers. CloudHQ’s campus design targets hyperscale AI customers, signaling an upgrade in the caliber of workloads Mexico will host.
  • The inclusion of waterless cooling systems is notable: large AI clusters consume massive power and often strain local water resources. A design that prioritizes alternative cooling lowers the environmental footprint and reduces a common regulatory friction point for data center expansion in water‑scarce regions.

Caveats and verifiable details​

  • CloudHQ’s public materials and Reuters reporting confirm high‑level numbers (MW, job estimates, campus layout), but final outcomes — tenant commitments, exact construction schedules, and local grid arrangements — typically depend on long‑term lease agreements and regulatory approvals. CloudHQ has stated it seeks long‑term leases before starting construction, which means timetables could shift.

Policy and workforce: Mexico’s response at home​

Lawmakers and industry dialogue​

Deputy Eruviel Ávila has publicly invited CONCAMIN (the Confederation of Industrial Chambers) to join legislative work on AI regulation, framing the objective as building a practical framework that protects citizens without strangling innovation. That outreach is part of a broader legislative push in 2025 to create national AI standards and even constitutional amendments that clarify state authority over technological governance. Local outlets covered the invitation and underscored a call for multi‑stakeholder collaboration (legislature, industry, academia).

Adoption in the workplace​

  • Michael Page’s Talent Trends 2025 reports that roughly 37% of Mexican professionals already use generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Microsoft Copilot, etc.) in daily work, with two‑thirds reporting higher productivity or quality. This behavioral shift is moving faster than formal HR processes; many job listings still omit explicit AI competency demands even as AI becomes embedded in job tasks.
  • The adoption gap between workers and formal employer policy creates governance, legal, and quality‑control risks: data leakage into consumer models, inconsistent output quality, and uneven training exposure. Michael Page’s own guidance recommends explicit training, governance, and role redefinition to manage those risks.

Practical implications for Mexican employers and policymakers​

  • Employers should audit where AI tools are used and classify tasks that require human review, sensitive data protections, or new oversight roles. Governments and industry groups (like CONCAMIN) must prioritize accessible training pipelines, incentives for reskilling, and clear rules on data export and cross‑border processing.
  • A pragmatic near‑term roadmap:
  • Map AI exposure by job family.
  • Institute mandatory data‑handling rules for third‑party AI.
  • Fund micro‑credentials and apprenticeships tied to AI governance and oversight.
  • Create a public‑private “AI Observatory” for measurement and best practice dissemination (similar to initiatives launched in Mexican universities and national forums).

Nvidia’s capital plays: why the chipmaker is more than a vendor​

The Intel stake: $5 billion and a changed dynamic​

Nvidia’s reported US$5 billion purchase of roughly a 4% stake in Intel — along with a technology collaboration to co‑develop data center systems that combine Intel CPUs with Nvidia GPUs — is a strategic pivot: Nvidia moves from being only a supplier to being an investor and co‑developer in CPU ecosystems that historically competed with its GPU‑centric dominance. Market coverage confirms the transaction and outlines co‑development plans.
Why this matters:
  • It hedges Nvidia’s exposure to possible ecosystem fragmentation by aligning Intel’s x86 CPU roadmap with Nvidia’s accelerator platforms.
  • It signals the formation of integrated system stacks optimized for AI workloads — not simply discrete CPU+GPU purchases but co‑designed solutions for hyperscale deployments.

The OpenAI pact: up to $100 billion and the compute arms race​

Nvidia and OpenAI’s announced plan to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia‑powered systems for OpenAI’s future model training, backed by Nvidia’s pledge to invest up to US$100 billion in non‑controlling shares and through chip sales, marks a dramatic intensification of compute procurement bonds between hardware and frontier AI labs. Initial tranches (reportedly the first US$10 billion) will deploy as facilities come online, with the first gigawatt expected to begin by late 2026 under Nvidia’s Vera Rubin systems. Coverage from Reuters and major financial outlets corroborates the structure and timing.
Cross‑impacts:
  • The scale of committed compute (gigawatts) and the related GPU volumes (millions of specialized accelerators) have direct downstream effects: more demand for hyperscale data center real estate, higher strain on power grids, and a scramble among governments and utilities to secure energy and supply chain resilience.
  • The investment model — hardware supplier taking equity stake in a customer — raises competition and regulatory questions that antitrust authorities may scrutinize, especially when leading suppliers secure privileged access to both customers and supply pipelines.

Why these moves amplify data center demand — and why that matters for Mexico​

Compute choreography: chips → systems → centers → grids​

The Nvidia‑OpenAI model shows how compute demand funnels through a predictable sequence:
  • Chip design and supply (Nvidia’s accelerator roadmaps) → system integration (OEMs and co‑development with Intel) → hyperscale racks and clusters → physical data center space and energy grid upgrades.
Each step faces constraints: manufacturing lead times, packaging and interconnect capacity, data center land and permits, and local grid capacity. CloudHQ’s Querétaro campus becomes more than real estate — it’s a node in a transnational compute network that will need stable power, secure fiber infrastructure, and workforce capable of managing high‑density AI clusters.

Energy and environmental risk​

  • Building gigawatt‑scale AI clusters is energy‑intensive. Reports peg the cost of deploying one gigawatt of AI capacity at tens of billions of dollars and emphasize the power system upgrades needed. That means data center investments are often gated by long‑term power contracts, renewable procurement, and community acceptance for increased power draws. Mexico’s energy policy and transmission planning will be central to whether Querétaro (and other Mexican hubs) can reliably deliver on these projects.
  • The choice of waterless cooling at CloudHQ is significant from both resilience and social license perspectives: communities resist water‑intensive data centers, and regulators increasingly demand visible environmental safeguards. CloudHQ’s planned approach reduces one common barrier to expansion.

Governance and enterprise control: the Workday–Microsoft example​

Large enterprises increasingly demand inventory and governance for AI agents. Workday’s Agent System of Record (ASOR), now integrated with Microsoft Entra identity and Azure AI Foundry/Copilot Studio, illustrates how enterprises are building administrative layers to treat AI agents as managed assets — with registered identities, measurable responsibilities, and auditable behavior. Workday’s announcements show that firms can register, control, and measure AI agents using the ASOR, a crucial capability as organizations scale agentic workloads.
Implications:
  • For Mexico’s corporate sector, adopting systems like ASOR can reduce operational risk, help enforce data residency or access controls, and create audit trails required by legal frameworks that lawmakers may impose.
  • Regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government services) benefit from agent registries that map agent actions to accountable persons and processes — a fundamental change in how organizations define compliance.

Risks, trade‑offs, and what to watch​

Concentration risk and geopolitical pressure​

  • When a handful of suppliers and labs tie up the majority of advanced AI compute, concentration risk increases. Nvidia’s investments in both Intel and OpenAI create powerful vertical linkages. Regulators globally are likely to scrutinize these relationships for potential anti‑competitive effects and preferential access issues.
  • Geopolitical tension can disrupt supply or access. Countries dependent on foreign compute supply chains must balance openness with strategies that preserve sovereignty and resiliency.

Labor market displacement and skill polarization​

  • Michael Page’s finding that 37% of professionals use AI daily indicates fast adoption but not uniform readiness. Without training and career pathways for oversight roles, firms risk skill polarization: a minority of AI‑fluent workers gain disproportionate rewards while others face deskilling or displacement. Policymakers should fund rapid reskilling and emphasize AI governance and data stewardship as emergent career tracks.

Energy and municipal impacts​

  • Large campuses demand long‑term power arrangements. Local utilities must plan for grid upgrades, renewable contracts, and potential community pushback. Municipalities need robust permitting processes that factor in both economic benefits and infrastructural strain.

Unverifiable or evolving claims​

  • Some reported figures (for instance, the ultimate size of Nvidia’s OpenAI equity stake or precise valuation mechanics) may be subject to change as definitive agreements are executed and regulatory filings appear. Where claims rely on “up to” language or early‑stage press announcements, treat them as indicative rather than final. Market commentators and direct filings should be consulted as definitive documents emerge.

Practical recommendations for Mexican stakeholders​

For federal and state policymakers​

  • Prioritize grid and transmission planning for data center corridors and streamline permitting without weakening environmental reviews.
  • Sponsor AI reskilling tax credits and micro‑credential programs that pair industry with universities and technical institutes.
  • Create a national AI observatory or registry to measure adoption, track sensitive data flows, and surface risks to privacy and labor markets.

For industry and CONCAMIN​

  • Standardize data‑handling best practices for third‑party AI tools and embed contractual protections for client data.
  • Lead shared training programs and apprenticeships focused on data center operations, AI governance, and model auditability.
  • Work with developers to secure long‑term power purchase agreements that include renewables and grid support features.

For enterprise IT leaders​

  • Adopt agent‑management frameworks (Agent System of Record patterns) to register, monitor, and audit AI agents across internal systems. Workday’s ASOR integration with Microsoft Azure is a concrete model.
  • Establish tiered human‑in‑the‑loop requirements for any AI outputs used in critical decision‑making, and require provenance metadata for model outputs.
  • Measure outcomes (error rates, customer impact) rather than adoption metrics alone to ensure quality and trust.

Conclusion​

The convergence of CloudHQ’s multi‑billion‑dollar data center plan in Querétaro, legislative momentum around AI governance in Mexico, and Nvidia’s deep financial entanglement with both Intel and OpenAI reflects a larger strategic recalibration in the global AI economy. Mexico’s role is shifting from hosting commodity services to supporting frontier compute — but this opportunity comes with responsibilities: ensuring energy resilience, building a workforce capable of both operating and governing AI, and setting legal guardrails that protect citizens without suffocating innovation.
If the last 24 months taught anything, it is that physical infrastructure (data centers), silicon (GPUs/CPUs), and policy (regulatory frameworks and governance tools) are now equally strategic. The decisions Mexico and its private sector make today — about where to site compute, how to power it, how to train people, and how to regulate — will determine whether the country captures broad economic gain from the AI era or becomes a passive hosting ground for value created elsewhere. The Querétaro campus is a major step toward capture; translating that into durable domestic benefit is the essential next phase.

Mexico’s AI moment arrived with a cascade of announcements this month: a US$4.8 billion data‑center bet in Querétaro that puts Mexico on the hyperscale map, a surge of AI adoption across Mexican workplaces, and strategic capital moves by Nvidia that reframe the global compute supply chain — including an up‑to‑US$100 billion commitment tied to OpenAI and a separate US$5 billion equity stake in Intel. These headlines are more than isolated corporate press releases; together they reveal how capital, chips, power and policy are being reorganized around generative AI — and why Mexico’s economic planners, utilities and technology leaders must now make urgent, practical choices about energy, workforce development and governance.

Background​

Why these announcements matter now​

The last two years have shown that demand for compute — measured in megawatts and gigawatts of data‑center capacity — is the binding constraint for next‑generation generative AI. When chip supply, physical rack space, and power delivery are constrained, organizations stack risk on top of opportunity: performance depends on where the chips run, who controls access to them, and whether regulatory frameworks ensure safety, privacy and fair competition.
Mexico’s CloudHQ project in Querétaro signals a shift from being a supplier of commodity hosting and nearshore services to becoming a potential regional anchor for high‑density AI workloads. At the same time, Nvidia’s dual moves — taking a material equity position in Intel and negotiating a multi‑phase, up‑to‑US$100 billion compute relationship with OpenAI — change the incentives across the industry, encouraging integrated hardware‑software deals and long‑term tenancy for hyperscalers. These developments bring economic opportunity to Mexico, but they also bring energy, water, workforce and governance challenges that must be addressed deliberately and quickly.

CloudHQ’s US$4.8 billion push into Querétaro​

The project at a glance​

  • Investment size: US$4.8 billion announced for a data‑center campus near Querétaro.
  • Scope: Six major computing and cloud storage facilities designed to support high‑density AI workloads; the developer frames the campus around a 360 MW critical IT load concept (roughly six buildings at ~48 MW IT load each in some plans).
  • Jobs: Company and local reports estimate about 7,200 construction jobs during build‑out and roughly 900 permanent, specialized positions once operational.
  • Sustainability notes: The project emphasizes non‑water (or waterless) cooling systems to reduce strain on local resources — a critical design choice where water scarcity or regulatory friction is a factor.

Verification and caveats​

The high‑level figures in the announcement — MW, number of buildings, job estimates and a 2027‑era readiness window in some planning documents — have been publicly stated by the developer and reported in major outlets. However, several contingent elements remain:
  • Tenant commitments: Large capital projects of this scale typically hinge on long‑term leases or anchor tenants (hyperscalers, AI firms) before full construction begins. CloudHQ has publicly stated it seeks long‑term lease agreements prior to final execution, meaning timing and final capacity may shift.
  • Grid and permitting dependencies: A 360 MW campus will require coordinated grid upgrades, substations, and potentially renewable power arrangements. Those are subject to negotiations with utilities and regulators. Local grid contracts, PPA structures and permitting timelines will affect when facilities can actually be energized.

National policy, governance and the CONCAMIN appeal​

Political and industrial responses​

Deputy Eruviel Ávila has publicly urged Mexico’s Confederation of Industrial Chambers (CONCAMIN) to engage in creating a national AI regulatory framework that balances innovation with citizen protections. The policy aim: practical, industry‑friendly rules for deployment and data governance that won’t suffocate investment but also mitigate systemic risks.

Why a framework is urgent​

  • Adoption outpaces rules: When a significant share of professionals use third‑party generative AI in day‑to‑day work — often without formal employer oversight — the risk of data leakage, biased outputs and compliance violations rises quickly. Formal regulation and industry standards reduce legal uncertainty for both local and international tenants.
  • Trade and sovereignty: Large compute projects can involve cross‑border data flows, foreign investors and long‑term commercial restrictions. A clear framework is essential to protect sensitive public data and ensure transparent contractual safeguards for local users and suppliers.

Mexico’s AI adoption curve: the workplace reality​

Headline adoption numbers​

Michael Page’s Talent Trends 2025 and follow‑on reporting show that roughly 37% of Mexican professionals now use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney or Microsoft Copilot in their daily work. Two‑thirds of those users report measurable productivity or quality improvements. These findings reflect a behavioral shift: AI usage is mainstreaming at the individual level even where organizational policies lag.

Practical implications for employers and HR​

  • Policy gap: Many employers have not yet updated job descriptions, performance metrics or procurement policies to account for AI — a mismatch that can create legal and quality assurance issues.
  • Training deficit: Industry surveys suggest large portions of workforces are using AI without formal company training; this implies an urgent need for accessible upskilling and role redefinition programs.
  • Opportunity for Mexico: With significant nearshore activity and an expanding talent pool, Mexico can position itself as an attractive region for data‑center investments — but only if it couples infrastructure growth with concrete workforce pipelines (vocational training, university partnerships, microcredentials).

Nvidia’s global maneuvering: investment, supply and the compute arms race​

The OpenAI relationship: up to US$100 billion for compute​

Nvidia and OpenAI announced a strategic framework that will deploy at least 10 gigawatts of Nvidia‑powered AI data‑center capacity and includes a commitment by Nvidia to invest up to US$100 billion progressively as capacity is delivered. Initial tranches are to deploy as facilities come online, with the first gigawatt expected to be installed in the second half of 2026 under Nvidia’s next‑generation systems. Media coverage and official statements characterize the investment as progressive and contingent on deployment milestones.
Why it matters:
  • Scale: Ten gigawatts of AI capacity implies millions of high‑performance accelerators and a material reorientation of data‑center demand patterns globally. That scale creates sustained tenant demand for hyperscale facilities and raises the bar for local grid capacity planning.
  • Preferred supplier dynamics: Nvidia will be a preferred supplier for chips and networking gear — a model that deepens vendor‑customer ties beyond single purchases and into long‑term financing and supply commitments. This can accelerate procurement but increase supplier concentration.

Nvidia’s $5 billion deal with Intel​

Separately, Nvidia announced a US$5 billion purchase of Intel shares — a strategic equity move designed to deepen collaboration on data‑center systems that combine Nvidia accelerators with Intel CPUs. Reports indicate the stake amounts to roughly a mid‑single‑digit percentage and is paired with joint development plans. This is significant: it signals that Nvidia is hedging against ecosystem fragmentation by aligning CPU and GPU roadmaps.

Cross‑verified context and caveats​

  • Multiple major outlets reported the OpenAI/Nvidia and Nvidia/Intel developments independently, confirming the broad outlines of the commitments. At the same time, both deals contain “up to” or contingent language: the OpenAI figure is staged against deployed capacity, and the Intel stake details are framed as part of a longer strategic collaboration. That means regulatory approvals, definitive agreements and market responses could change the final profile of each transaction.

Workday and Microsoft: operationalizing “agents” in the enterprise​

What the partnership does​

Workday’s Agent System of Record (ASOR) is a governance and management platform for AI agents — digital colleagues that act within enterprise processes. Workday and Microsoft announced an integration allowing organizations to register and manage agents created with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio inside Workday’s ASOR. The integration adds identity, access controls and business context to agent deployments, improving auditability and governance.

Why this matters to enterprises​

  • Governance: ASOR patterns give enterprises the tools to catalog who built agents, what data they can access, and what business actions they may perform — an essential control model when agents are embedded in HR, finance or customer processes.
  • Operational visibility: Centralized registries reduce operational fragmentation and help contain security risks from unregulated agent deployments. This is particularly relevant in environments where employees already use multiple consumer AI tools in their work.

What this convergence means for Mexico — opportunities and risks​

Economic and industrial opportunity​

  • Jobs and services: Construction and long‑term operations for hyperscale campuses create direct and indirect jobs — from technicians and data‑center operators to logistics, facilities management and professional services. Querétaro’s position near logistics corridors makes it a natural nearshore hub for Latin American and U.S. customers.
  • Industrial upgrading: Hosting higher‑density AI workloads can catalyze local supply‑chain upgrades: power‑electronics firms, specialized cooling vendors, and IT services will be in higher demand.

Critical risks and friction points​

  • Energy and grid capacity: A 360 MW campus is a heavy demand signal for local utilities. Without firm PPAs, grid upgrades and renewables content, communities can face blackouts or high rates. Municipalities must plan transmission and generation accordingly.
  • Water use and environmental limits: Traditional cooling for high‑density racks consumes large volumes of water. CloudHQ’s emphasis on waterless cooling is promising, but verification of actual designs and lifecycle environmental impacts is essential.
  • Concentration and supply‑chain risk: Nvidia’s industrial integration with customers and its equity moves raise concentration and preferential‑access questions. If a handful of vendors control both hardware supply and preferred contracts for frontier labs, market access and competition could be impaired — a potential regulatory concern for both Mexico and foreign partners.
  • Skill polarization: Rapid adoption of AI tools by professionals risks creating a two‑tier workforce unless reskilling and certification programs are scaled quickly. The Michael Page data showing 37% adoption with productivity gains demonstrates the possibility of workforce uplift, but also the need to manage displacement.

Practical recommendations for Mexican stakeholders​

For federal and state policymakers​

  • Prioritize grid and transmission planning in tandem with data‑center approvals. Require developers to present credible PPA and grid‑upgrade plans before permits are granted.
  • Require transparent environmental impact assessments emphasizing water, thermal discharge and lifecycle energy sourcing. Favor projects that incorporate waterless cooling and clear renewable procurement.
  • Launch targeted reskilling programs and tax credits for apprenticeship schemes that link universities, technical institutes and data‑center operators. Fund microcredentials in AI governance, model auditing and data stewardship.

For industry and CONCAMIN​

  • Develop standardized contractual protections for customer data, cross‑border processing and vendor lock‑in to be embedded in data‑center tenancy agreements. Encourage common procurement clauses that preserve competition.
  • Co‑invest in shared training centers and internships to accelerate the local creation of operations staff capable of managing high‑density racks and agent governance.

For enterprise IT leaders​

  • Adopt an Agent System of Record pattern or equivalent to catalog, monitor and govern AI agents across business units. Leverage available integrations (Workday + Microsoft) for identity and lifecycle controls where applicable.
  • Implement rigorous human‑in‑the‑loop rules for all critical decisions influenced by AI outputs and embed provenance metadata for model outputs to enable audit trails.

Antitrust, competition and geopolitical watchers: what to watch​

Concentration dynamics​

When chip suppliers take equity stakes in OEMs or customers, two potential effects arise:
  • Preferential supply: Preferred access to next‑generation accelerators can advantage certain labs or cloud operators, reinforcing winner‑take‑most dynamics.
  • Regulatory scrutiny: Equity and supply deals of the magnitude reported will attract attention from competition authorities and national security reviewers who worry about chokepoints in strategic infrastructure. Mexico, as a hosting nation, should ensure transparent contractual frameworks that preserve market entry and data sovereignty.

Geopolitical resilience​

  • Diversify supplier relationships where feasible. Encourage local and regional cloud partnerships to reduce single‑vendor dependency for critical government services.
  • Negotiate sovereign‑friendly data tenancy clauses for sensitive public workloads and require clear export controls for classified datasets.

A sober conclusion: opportunity with responsibilities​

Mexico’s sudden visibility in the AI compute map is real and achievable: a large campus in Querétaro would create jobs, anchor an ecosystem and attract ancillary investment. Yet the path from announcement to realized, responsibly governed capacity is not automatic. It requires coordinated planning across utilities, education, industry associations and regulators.
The combination of on‑the‑ground adoption (37% of professionals using AI daily), large capital commitments (CloudHQ’s US$4.8 billion campus) and strategic supply‑chain reshaping (Nvidia’s investments and preferred‑supplier arrangements) creates a narrow window for Mexico to secure both economic benefits and national resilience. The choices made now — about grid upgrades, training pipelines, cooling technology and contractual safeguards — will determine whether this influx of compute becomes a broad‑based boon or a concentrated set of risks.
Key takeaways:
  • Act urgently on infrastructure: Grid planning and credible renewable procurement must be prerequisites for large‑scale data‑center permits.
  • Scale workforce programs now: Public‑private reskilling initiatives must run in parallel with construction to ensure local communities capture high‑value jobs.
  • Strengthen governance: National frameworks and industry codes of practice — the kinds of dialogues Deputy Ávila is invoking with CONCAMIN — will be essential to manage data, competition and social outcomes.
  • Monitor vendor concentration: Large supply‑chain commitments by chipmakers and platform vendors should be watched closely for competition and access effects.
If managed well, Mexico can convert a flood of global compute demand into long‑term industrial capability and a healthier digital ecosystem. If managed poorly, the country could inherit the liabilities that come with concentrated tech infrastructure: fragile grids, unequal access to high‑value employment, and late‑stage regulatory catch‑up. The next 12–36 months will decide which path Mexico takes.
