- More than 500 telecom leaders will gather for two days of high-level insight, investment opportunities and networking.
- The agenda focuses on cross-border partnerships, AI-native infrastructure, rural access, and next-gen connectivity.
Set to take place in Mexico City this September, Mexico Connect 2025
Returning to the heart of Mexico’s capital, Mexico Connect 2025 will convene over 500 decision-makers from across the telecom, data infrastructure, cloud, and public sectors on 10–11 September 2025 at The St. Regis, Mexico City. With the theme “Powering Mexico’s Connectivity”, this year’s edition aims to build bridges between global investors, regional providers, and cutting-edge innovators driving the next generation of digital infrastructure.
Organised by Capacity Media, the conference has fast become the premier connectivity forum for Mexico and the United States, drawing interest from hyperscalers, government officials, fibre operators, subsea developers, and telco executives seeking to capitalise on the country’s booming digital economy.
Last year’s event welcomed over 480 participants and 220+ companies, including names such as Netflix, Fermaca Networks, Zayo, Nokia, and C3ntro Telecom, who are now setting the tone for what’s to come in Mexico’s connectivity roadmap.
Mexico is at a critical inflection point. Fuelled by nearshoring trends, booming data demand, and progressive government policies such as the National Digital Strategy, the country is emerging as Latin America’s digital gateway—with infrastructure investments accelerating in both core urban centres and underserved regions.
The 2025 agenda reflects this evolution. A spotlight session on Querétaro—Mexico’s leading data centre hub—will examine power sustainability, regional competition, and new hotspots such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Yucatán, and Durango.
The conference will also delve deep into the AI-driven transformation of data centres, exploring the rise of liquid cooling, automation, and operational efficiency in hyperscale environments. Industry leaders from MEXDC, Afinisys, and Celestial Dynamics Technology Lab will outline how AI is reshaping capacity planning, security, and cloud interconnectivity.
Another major highlight will be the subsea infrastructure panel, featuring updates on game-changing projects like Tikal, TAM1, Firmina, and CSN-2. These cables are positioning Mexico as a strategic hub linking North and South America, opening up massive bandwidth routes that benefit regional carriers and global content providers alike.

Why it’s important
A consistent theme across sessions is partnership and collaboration. Whether through telco-content deals (like Telcel-Netflix) or strategic fibre alliances (like Fermaca-Zayo), Mexico’s connectivity growth is increasingly reliant on ecosystem synergy.
The panel on FTTH and ISPs will address how independent operators, supported by CFE’s backbone infrastructure, are bringing high-speed, low-latency broadband to millions—especially in smaller cities and towns. Meanwhile, a dedicated session on rural and indigenous connectivity will explore how satellite technologies and local initiatives are bridging the digital divide in places where fibre cannot reach.
As noted by speakers from PROMTEL, Bajanet, and Peplink, inclusion is not just about infrastructure—it’s about solving community-specific challenges and delivering last-mile solutions that work.
The closing fireside chat will offer a forward-looking discussion on Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) and the introduction of quantum-safe encryption across networks. Speakers from Nokia, PIT Policy Lab, and LTEC will explore how Mexico can position itself as a regional leader in secure, on-demand infrastructure—a key concern amid rising cyber threats and growing financial digitalisation.
As the world’s attention turns increasingly to latency-sensitive, AI-native, and borderless connectivity, Mexico’s unique position—both geographically and economically—offers it a compelling role on the global digital map. With robust private equity interest, cross-border partnerships, and a strong public sector push for inclusion, the message from Mexico Connect 2025 is clear:
The future of digital infrastructure in the Americas starts here.
