Salesforce Expands Mexico Presence with $1 Billion Investment
Salesforce has launched a bold expansion plan in Mexico, allocating $1 billion to boost its regional operations and workforce. The company will use the investment to open a modern five-story office in Mexico City’s Polanco district. This new facility will house a Global Delivery Center (GDC) and support up to 2,000 employees.
This development positions Mexico as a strategic AI hub for Latin America, supported by multi-lingual consulting services. The GDC will serve customers across the Americas in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. It also aims to accelerate enterprise digital transformation using Salesforce’s Agentforce solutions.
With strong roots in Mexico since 2006, Salesforce continues to deepen its regional influence. The company serves major local clients such as FEMSA and Grupo Bafar, reinforcing Mexico’s role in driving innovation. Salesforce sees the country as a key market for scaling its AI-powered enterprise strategy.
Driving AI Adoption and Regional Productivity Through Agentforce
The company’s focus on Agentic Enterprises is central to the expansion. Agentforce helps businesses integrate AI agents with human teams to improve performance. This move is designed to drive productivity and customer success throughout Latin America.
The new GDC will support companies already leveraging Agentforce, such as Grupo Falabella, Globo, and Protección. These organizations will gain access to enhanced AI consulting and support services through the Mexico hub.
Salesforce plans to use the new infrastructure to deliver consistent, high-quality support for enterprise AI integration. This includes scalable services that guide businesses through digital transformation. The GDC reinforces Salesforce’s broader strategy of regional capability building and innovation.
Strengthening Community Impact Through Workforce and Philanthropic Investments
Salesforce will invest in workforce development and education. It will dedicate $250,000 to Amigos de Filantrofilia to train 100,000 students in AI skills. The initiative aligns with Salesforce’s 1-1-1 model, promoting education and local empowerment.
Through partnerships with nonprofits such as IYF, Salesforce is expanding access to personalized career guidance tools. The IYF’s Clara agent, deployed via WhatsApp, is expected to increase reach and improve skill development outcomes. This reflects a broader commitment to using AI for societal impact.
To date, Salesforce has donated $2.6 million and nearly 40,000 volunteer hours to Mexican causes. Nonprofit partners include Mentoralia and Reforestamos México. These contributions further embed Salesforce in the community, supporting long-term, inclusive growth.
