Corporate hackathons and innovation challenges in Guadalajara
Companies use Mobil3 to run hackathons, innovation challenges and developer adoption programs in Guadalajara. We design the program around one business goal, recruit developers and students from Jalisco, run it on the ground and report against the KPIs agreed at the start.
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.

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.
