Since the beginning of the year, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) has opened a new engineering office in Mexico City, while Facebook Inc (FB.O) has partnered with local groups to develop technical talent in the region.
Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) plans to expand its offices in the Pacific coast state of Jalisco, local officials said, possibly bringing hundreds of jobs.
In Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital, a new group devoted to recruiting startups expects to have 10 new companies in the region by year-end, with another 60 in the pipeline. And the landlord of choice for many startups, the shared-office juggernaut WeWork, said it has opened five locations and now serves 6,000 workers after debuting in Mexico City last September.
