Marcelo Ebrard, through the Ministry of Economy, announced at a G20 meeting in North Carolina that Mexico aims to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence across various sectors. The goal is to achieve significant advances at both national and international levels through partnerships with companies and governments.
During his speech, Ebrard emphasized the importance of expanding global technology chains, highlighting that “Mexico is advancing artificial intelligence that translates into greater productivity, better jobs, and shared well-being.” Additionally, Ebrard met with leaders of renowned companies in the artificial intelligence industry, including Nvidia, OpenAI, and Anthropic, to explore opportunities for collaboration and capability development in Mexico.
A notable advancement occurred with Jensen Huang, founder of Nvidia, who committed to visiting Mexico to discuss the development of supercomputers in the country. Huang expressed his enthusiasm, stating that he hopes to help propel Mexico into the era of artificial intelligence.
During his visit, Ebrard also spoke with Sam Altman from OpenAI and Tom Brown from Anthropic, although details about specific agreements have not been disclosed. On a bilateral level, Ebrard held a meeting with Howard Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, to address issues regarding the technological development of North America.
Moreover, dialogue with Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice President of the European Commission, was highlighted, where it was agreed to coordinate innovation efforts between Mexico and the European Union. A conversation also took place with Kim Jung-kwan, Minister of Trade, Industry, and Resources of South Korea, but the Ministry of Economy did not provide details on the topics discussed.
This agenda is part of the Mexico Plan, which seeks to strengthen national productive capacity and incorporate Mexican suppliers into the value chains of the data economy. Ebrard added that reforms in the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) have enabled a 50% increase in the granting of patents between 2024 and 2025.
The G20 ministerial meeting concluded with a consensus on six key areas, including frameworks to foster innovation and standards for artificial intelligence. All attendees supported the Carolina Principles, which promote research and technological adoption, while the U.S. advocated for flexible regulations that encourage innovation.
