The business dome wants to double foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico and launched the campaign on Thursday “Invest and choose Mexico”in order to position the country as the most attractive destination in the world, in the midst of an economic deceleration and the strengthening of the national platform by the Mexican government.
The Business Coordinating Council (CCE), which groups more than 2,000 business associations and around 80% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP), presented the strategy during the forum announcement “Mexico IA+ accelerated investment” next November.
Max El-Mann, president of the Investment and Relocation of companies of the CCE, explained that the objective is to capitalize on the current situation of the nearshoring and tariff advantages over other regions.
“We hope to double that amount (34,000 million dollars) because the opportunities that are being presented today in the country and the way in which tariffs leave us in a better position than any other country in the world,” he said.

He also emphasized that the country’s opportunities “are really historical”, referring to the goal that the FDI exceed 70,000 million dollars, after accumulating more than 34.2 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2025.
The president of the CCE, Francisco Cervantes, added that there is no precise calendar to reach that figure, although he hoped that the new campaign will accelerate projects in strategic sectors.
“We do not know time, we do not estimate it, but we hope to close the year with a good amount of investments and results, also in moments of deceleration,” he said.
The business leader stressed that “Invest and choose Mexico” It will add to the country’s efforts to boost technological infrastructure, particularly in areas linked to artificial intelligence, energy transition and digitalization of industries.
The Plan also includes a greater accompaniment of companies that seek to settle or expand operations in Mexico, with regulatory and financing facilities.
According to the CCE, the campaign is designed on three axes: investment intelligence and sectorial alliances, regulatory acceleration and development capital.
These levers will materialize in business tables, technological showcases and personalized agendas, added El-Mann.
“The decision to invest is first and foremost a trusted decision. From the CCE we offer that confidence with facts. In the coming months we will give public monitoring to all projects,” he said.
The businessmen stressed that Mexico has unique advantages to consolidate as a destination of foreign capital: integration with North America, a network of 14 commercial treaties that open access to more than 50 countries, macroeconomic stability and a demographic bonus with thousands of qualified engineers and technicians.
“We invite the international community, Mexican and foreign companies, the young people of Mexico – because their talent is the most powerful advantage in the country. Mexico not only has conditions to bring investment, it has reasons to lead a new growth base,” concluded the business leader.
