MEXICO Trends and Developments Contributed by: Eduardo Triulzi, Eric Silberstein and Ana Jáuregui, Ritch Mueller
Healthtech and wellness The healthtech sector remains a top priority for venture capital investors in Mexico, with start- ups harnessing the power of AI and big data to revolutionise healthcare, telemedicine, and biotechnology. From predictive analytics to personalised treatments, these companies are reshaping the way healthcare services are deliv - ered and accessed across the region, including exclusively through mobile apps. AI in health - tech is enhancing diagnostic accuracy, stream - lining treatment plans and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, the integration of big data is facili - tating better decision-making and resource allo - cation in healthcare systems. Likewise, wellness continues to consolidate as a key industry. The innovative proposals in this sector address inte - gral well-being, from mental health to person - alised fitness, creating a diversified offer that is attracting the interest of consumers and inves - tors alike. The growing awareness of the impor - tance of mental and physical health is driving demand for wellness solutions, making this a lucrative market for start-ups and established companies. Renewable energy and sustainability The renewable energy and sustainability sector will gain ground as one of the main priorities for venture capital investors in Latin America. The growing need for decarbonisation to meet global sustainability goals has boosted the interest in clean technologies such as green hydrogen, renewable energy generation, and energy effi - ciency solutions. These investments not only seek to respond to climate challenges but also to take advantage of the potential of the region as a leader in natural resources and innovation capacity.
In addition, digitalisation and the development of data centres are generating an exponential demand for clean energy. This context opens opportunities for start-ups and established com - panies to lead projects that transform the energy matrix of the region and promote sustainable economic growth. The renewable energy sector is also benefiting from supportive government policies and international collaborations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices. In Mexico, the private sector has been permitted to generate electric - ity and sell it in a wholesale electricity market for more than a decade – during which time, the installed capacity of renewable energy has been doubled, as reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency in 2024. In March 2025, various reforms were enacted in the sector that continue to promote a more socially and environmentally responsible energy sector in Mexico, while also recognising the State’s prevalence in the sector through the state-owned public companies (ie, Pemex and CFE). Industry participants are still awaiting the impact of these reforms on national energy poli - cies and the broader energy sector. However, sustainable growth in the coming years is antici - pated due to Mexico’s ongoing need for infra - structure to satisfy its population’s needs and fulfil international commitments. Finally, agrotech and cleantech are demonstrat - ing their ability to address structural challenges. These emerging industries are attracting venture capital investors in Mexico who seek to have a significant ameliorative impact on global prob - lems while generating attractive returns. Outlook As of 2025, the venture capital ecosystem in Mexico is poised to enter an exciting new phase,
