PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – Despite the tumultuous political landscape and security concerns, the enduring relationship between Mexico and the United States remains unbroken, emphasized Fernando Garcia de Llano, the President of the American Chamber of Guadalajara.
He affirmed, “The bond between Mexico and the United States is indomitable. This is not just a partnership; it’s a brotherhood. Our connections, especially in trade, investment, and bilateral exchanges, are so deep-rooted that they transcend administrative shifts.”
While Garcia de Llano acknowledged the US Consulate’s alerts advising against visits to Jalisco due to safety concerns, he noted that American footprints remain strong in popular areas such as Puerto Vallarta, Chapala, and Ajijic.
He highlighted Jalisco’s prowess: “Jalisco not only offers the best workforce but also a highly committed one.” The president tantalizingly hinted at forthcoming significant technological investments from the US in Jalisco, although specifics were kept under wraps.
The American Chamber’s Guadalajara chapter is robust, boasting 264 members spanning a broad spectrum of sectors. Among these, high technology and consulting sectors are particularly notable.
In alignment with their forward-looking approach and emphasis on technology, the American Chamber of Guadalajara is set to host the Entrepreneurs Summit titled, “Artificial Intelligence: Who Wins? Who Loses?”. Garcia de Llano stated, “Being at the forefront of technology has always been a hallmark of the American Chamber. Our member base, consisting of many high-tech global companies, has instilled in us a deep appreciation for technological advancements. We firmly believe that an improved world is on the horizon, and many of today’s challenges will find solutions through these technologies.”
Slated for September 21, the twelfth Entrepreneurs Summit will be held at the Business Center of the Tecnológico de Monterrey Guadalajara campus. It promises a deep dive into contemporary trends and opportunities, underpinning Jalisco’s status as a nexus for technological innovation.
In a nod to the region’s progressive tech adoption, Garcia de Llano mentioned a recent survey by the Center for Strategic Studies for the Development of Jalisco. It found that 11.8% of public sector employees are leveraging artificial intelligence in their roles. Remarkably, estimates suggest that nearly 30% of Jalisco’s populace already integrates AI into daily tasks.
