Alibaba Cloud , the digital intelligence and technology arm of Alibaba Group, has launched its first cloud region in Mexico. This key milestone underscores its commitment to accelerating the country’s digital transformation and promoting innovation in Latin America.
With this new infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud will provide businesses, startups, developers and organizations with access to secure, scalable and high-performance cloud services, strengthening Mexico as a key technology hub in the region. As a result of this expansion, Alibaba Cloud now has 87 availability zones in 29 regions globally, consolidating its position as a leader in the global cloud market.

“Mexico City is the technological, financial, economic, investment and innovation engine in the world. We are a benchmark in the digitalization of processes. With the arrival of Alibaba Cloud, we are getting closer to consolidating a cutting-edge digital metropolis that increasingly provides more advanced tools for startups, entrepreneurs and companies in strategic sectors,” said Manola Zabalza , Secretary of Economic Development of Mexico City.
Innovation with resilient cloud infrastructure
Mexico offers a complete set of cloud products, including elastic computing, storage, networking, containers, and security services, all under ISO and CSA certifications.

Key Investment in Mexico’s Digital Future
In addition to the launch, and as part of its long-term commitment to the Mexican market, Alibaba Cloud will implement initiatives to strengthen the local digital ecosystem, such as training programs in partnership with universities to prepare the next generation of professionals with essential skills in cloud and artificial intelligence.
The company will also launch support programs for SMEs and developers, facilitating the adoption of cloud technology to optimize operations and foster innovation. Community engagement activities will also be promoted, such as hackathons , technology workshops and innovation challenges, to inspire students and startups to take advantage of cloud tools and artificial intelligence solutions to solve real-world challenges.
“Thanks to Alibaba Cloud ‘s global network , Mexican companies will have access to new markets, particularly in Asia. With our knowledge of the sector and specialized support, we will help local companies expand their international presence ,” added Yuan.
Creating a local ecosystem with partners and customers
Alibaba Group’s first customer service center in the country was established in Mexico City in 2022. Since then, Alibaba Cloud has collaborated and partnered with local companies such as Soft180, CONTPAQi, Coonectate, UST, Sobot, Viko, YunTek, Whale Cloud, VDE Suite, and Dexmi, enabling customized services and targeted solutions, creating a dynamic ecosystem and driving innovation through greater growth opportunities.
CONTPAQi , a business management software provider in Mexico, is collaborating with Alibaba Cloud to offer cloud-based solutions such as tools for accounting, invoicing, issuing digital tax receipts, and inventories. This alliance facilitates access for Mexican SMEs to cutting-edge technological tools in a secure and efficient manner.
“We are proud to be a strategic partner of Alibaba Cloud in offering customized solutions for local businesses, which will contribute to the transformation of the business ecosystem in Mexico ,” said Javier Santana , Director of Digital Transformation at CONTPAQi. “Our mission has always been to facilitate the growth of SMEs, and with this alliance we are confident that we can take digital transformation to the next level, positively impacting millions of companies in Mexico.”
Alibaba Cloud has established itself as the most trusted cloud services provider for major companies in Mexico and Latin America over the past year, thanks to the fact that it has taken advantage of these partnerships and the resources in Alibaba Group’s digital ecosystem.
Another example is Limac , a Mexican IT company specializing in the development and distribution of software for SMEs, which has expanded its business and unlocked new growth opportunities in the region thanks to Alibaba Cloud ‘s elastic cloud resources and security solutions.
“With Alibaba Cloud ‘s reliable infrastructure and security solutions , we have accelerated our growth while ensuring regulatory compliance. The launch in Mexico allows us to deploy local resources and expand our IT solutions across Latin America, empowering millions of SMEs in their digital transformation. With cutting-edge technology and cost-effective solutions, Alibaba Cloud is the ideal partner to drive this evolution ,” said José Limón, CEO of Limac.
