Why Guadalajara
Guadalajara has one of the deepest software engineering bases in Mexico and a state government that actively runs innovation programs. Mobil3 works with the Jalisco government, REDi and the Universidad de Guadalajara, so a company arriving in Jalisco starts with the institutional relationships already open.

Institutions we work with in Guadalajara
Frequently asked questions
Can a company in Guadalajara run a challenge with Universidad de Guadalajara students?
Mobil3 works with the Universidad de Guadalajara and other institutions in Jalisco. Whether a specific campus takes part depends on the program and the university's calendar, so we confirm it during design. Recruitment of students and developers is part of every program we run.
What kind of results does a company get from a program in Guadalajara?
Results are agreed as KPIs before the program starts: developers using your product, qualified participants for hiring, solutions to your challenge or relationships with local institutions. The final report shows who took part, what got built and what came out against those KPIs.
Does Mobil3 help companies entering the Guadalajara market?
Yes. Beyond hackathons and developer programs, Mobil3 runs roundtables, founder and operator dinners and brand activations in Guadalajara, and connects companies with the public innovation offices and universities it already works with in Jalisco.
Does Mobil3 already run programs in Guadalajara?
Yes. In Guadalajara we run in-person build sessions for developers, with guided workshops, teamwork, mentorship and prizes for standout projects, and we work with public innovation offices and universities in Jalisco on programs in the city.
