Amazon announced an investment of US$5 billion in Mexico. According to Brazilian Paula Bellizia, vice president of Amazon for Latin America, the decision was motivated by the country’s prominence on the global stage and the quality of professional training.
“We arrived in Mexico to stay. This US$5 billion investment goes far beyond building state-of-the-art data centers. This is a decisive bet on the socioeconomic growth and digital future of this great country and of all Mexicans”, said Bellizia alongside the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, during a press conference.

Paula Bellizia highlighted that artificial intelligence (AI), enabled by cloud technologies, will be fundamental to Mexico’s economic growth.
According to the company’s projections, the adoption of AI could add more than US$19 billion to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030. “We estimate that, over the next 15 years, our investment will contribute more than US$3 billion to Mexico’s GDP and will support, on average, seven thousand full-time, highly qualified jobs per year.”
