Nvidia Useful AI in Mexico, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico City): The world has entered the era of Useful Artificial Intelligence and Mexico is at the right moment, Nvidia declared during the opening of México IA+ 2.0, the second edition of its flagship event in the country, which this time was organized jointly with AI Day.
During the opening conference, Marcio Aguiar, head of Nvidia’s Enterprise division for Latin America, said that since February the use of agents has multiplied 34 times over the last six months. Nvidia presented four key points during the opening: useful AI has arrived; the combination of open models and Mexican data gives rise to sovereign intelligence; open models drive AI across various industries; and the company says it helps Mexican businesses build safe and useful AI as Mexico builds its AI future.
During the Building Mexico AI Future conference, Aguiar said that more than 230 Mexican companies already work with Nvidia and that 55,000 researchers collaborate on its developer platform. Among Mexico’s main advantages, he listed its proximity to the United States, public policies friendly within the region, and the fact that, together with Brazil, it has one of the fastest-accelerating potentials.
Aguiar emphasized that Nvidia provides the full stack. “We are not a hardware company,” he stressed, detailing that the company’s offering spans from the CPU, through its well-known GPUs, to applications and software.
“We offer the entire layer,” he added, saying its newest generation, called Vera Rubin, is already available.
Although Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of around 5 trillion dollars, Aguiar acknowledged that Nvidia alone cannot reach its goals. “Everything starts with training.
The proposal is to bring knowledge to people,” he said, and he celebrated the company’s alliances with public and private educational institutions, including Tecnológico de Monterrey, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the National Polytechnic Institute and Universidad Iberoamericana.
For its part, Jéssica Peña, president of the México IA+ Council, reinforced that “talent is the key piece for this country’s economy to grow.” She stressed that AI has stopped being a promise because it already defines where investment goes, and therefore Mexico cannot be merely a spectator.
The executive announced the launch of four anchor projects: AI hubs in Querétaro (AI Factory), Guanajuato (Smart Manufacturing of the Bajío) and Puebla (Scientific Innovation), plus Mexico City, which joined with its utopias system, to form a single national AI network.
Aguiar highlighted projects already building local infrastructure with Nvidia AI capacity, such as Bleeding Edge in Querétaro and Fermaca Dreams in Durango.
Peña said this is the second chapter in building the country’s AI future and highlighted that Mexican models using national data already exist, such as Saptiva AI and Monarca LabAI, which is being developed in collaboration with Brazilian company WideLabs. She stressed that it is crucial for AI to also speak Spanish and Mexican Spanish, as well as the country’s other indigenous languages such as Nahuatl and Maya.
Finally, she underscored that this edition puts infrastructure at the center, because sovereignty begins with computing, and it covers a dozen thematic areas ranging from cybersecurity to health.
Meanwhile, Calista Redmond, Nvidia’s vice president of Global AI Initiatives, stressed that intelligence is the new infrastructure and highlighted that Mexico has more than 100,000 annual graduates in STEM fields.
