Guadalajara, often called Mexico’s Silicon Valley, is solidifying its position as a leading technology hub with the opening of a new office by multinational firm, Ness Digital Engineering. This expansion is poised to create new employment opportunities and further innovation in the region.
The city’s thriving tech ecosystem, which already hosts major companies, like Facebook, Google, Apple, Netflix and LinkedIn, and over 1,000 tech firms, is a key driver of Mexico’s economy, with 40% of the country’s entire IT industry concentrated in the state of Jalisco.
Why Guadalajara is a Tech Powerhouse
Guadalajara’s success as a tech capital is no accident. The city benefits from a highly educated workforce, supported by 16 technology institutes and 12 universities. These institutions annually contribute to the 130,000 software engineers who graduate in Mexico.
This strong talent pool, combined with the city’s close proximity to the United States, has made Guadalajara an attractive alternative to the competitive and often saturated markets of the original Silicon Valley. As a result, the city has become a major center for research, innovation, and development both nationally and internationally.
Ness Digital Engineering Invests in Mexico’s Talent
Ness Digital Engineering, a digital services company headquartered in New York, is opening its first Latin American office in Guadalajara. This strategic move recognizes the city’s robust tech landscape and aims to establish a new hub for digital innovation. The company plans to hire more than 200 professionals by the end of 2026, focusing on talented engineers. This expansion will allow Ness to scale its ability to provide specialized digital advisory services and engineering solutions to clients across the Americas.
This investment stands out because Ness is committed to supporting its workforce with a “people-first” culture. The company offers competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for continuous learning and professional development. This focus on employee well-being has earned Ness multiple industry awards for excellence in talent development. By prioritizing its employees, Ness is not only expanding its own capabilities but also enriching Guadalajara’s labor market with high-quality, long-term career opportunities.
Future Opportunities
The new Ness Digital Engineering office will bring hundreds of roles with competitive compensation to Mexico’s growing tech labor market. These positions will enable professionals to work on leading-edge technologies and contribute to meaningful projects, aligning with their passions and supporting the local community.
