Eugenio Marín, CEO of the Mexico and the United States Foundation for Science (Fumec), He said they work in a strategy for investment in semiconductor factories in Chiapas, Tabasco and Yucatán.
“To states like Chiapas, Tabasco and Yucatán, we are including them, because they have capacities and we can align and draw a clear route map so that they enter and consolidate in a certain time in the semiconductor industry,” says Forbes Mexico.

It is consolidated with the route map: opportunities for semiconductor nearshoring in Mexico a very clear line where and what we can participate in the manufacture of the key components for the manufacture of vehicles, computers and cell phones, he explains.
The manager said that the route map, which was presented by Fumec in July 2024, is helping to open opportunities for different states that are not in the value chain of the semiconductor industry.
“Today Chiapas, Yucatán and Tabasco are not and have a presence of semiconductor manufacturers, but they have capacities, talent, research centers and universities to arrive such companies; work in a plan and strategy to attract foreign or national investment of semiconductor manufacturers to disembark in Chiapas, Yucatán and Tabasco,” he says.
Marín adds that they are looking for these investment opportunities in the semiconductor industry, since the investments that have arrived in the semiconductor industry are business reinvestments, which already have a presence in Mexico.
“From January to September 2025, companies are expanding operations or are making new acquisitions: Infineon, a company of German origin, is making an investment of 50 million dollars to reequify their plants in Baja California,” he says.
The German chips manufacturer is donating his machinery and equipment to several research centers of five states of the Mexican Republic to train the new generations, he says.
He points out that the capital reinvestment of companies in the semiconductor industry is already happening in Mexico.
According to the Ministry of Economy (SE), there are more than 290 semiconductor companies in Mexico, which have invested more than 7,482 million dollars.
Samsung, Jabil and Foxconn are the companies with the largest investment in the semiconductor industry in the Mexican market.

Aguascalientes, Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Jalisco and Mexico City, details, are the states where there are investments from Skywors, Jabil, Samsung, Foxconn, Flex, Stoneridge, Yageo, Alpine Ibiden and Texas Instruments
“The United States semiconductor manufacturers have invested 4 thousand 090 million dollars in Mexico. Then the South Korean companies with 2 thousand 010 million dollars, Taiwan with 746 million dollars, Japan with 540 million dollars and Canada with $ 29 million and canada with 29 million dollars, and thus seeks to take the semiconductor industry to Chiapas, Tabasco and Yucatán,” he explains.
