Why Mexico City
Mexico City concentrates the country's fintechs, corporate headquarters, investors and the largest universities. It is where Mobil3 ran its 2025 hackathon with the Monad Foundation and where Hacktoberfest México takes place during Mexico Tech Week. For a company entering Mexico, it is usually the first city, and we already have the rooms and relationships in place.
