The international firm LOIGICA officially opens its new office in Guadalajara, Jalisco, consolidating a venture that has been in the works for over six years and, according to its CEO, Harry Tapias, “arrives at the perfect time to connect Mexican entrepreneurs with the U.S. market, from the capital of innovation in Mexico”.

The city was not chosen randomly. Guadalajara, with a metropolitan area of 5.27 million inhabitants and an estimated GDP of $123.8 billion, is now the fourth largest economic municipality in the country, contributing over $59 billion to the national economy. This city presents itself as a strategic point for Mexican companies looking to internationalize and connect with the U.S. market, especially when considering the current dynamics of migration and capital flows towards the U.S.

“Our connections naturally led us to Guadalajara. It is a large city, but more manageable than Mexico City, with a vibrant ecosystem in technology, biotechnology, agro-industry, and manufacturing. All of that makes it a strategic entry point for North America”, explains Tapias.

Migration, business, and an opportunity window
The strategy is backed by a clear economic and social reality. In 2024 alone, remittances to Jalisco totaled $5.4 billion, with $375 million sent directly to the municipality of Guadalajara. “This speaks to the strong connection between Jalisco and the United States, not just economically, but also on a human level. There is a community already used to thinking and operating in both markets”, Tapias points out.

For LOIGICA, Mexico is one of its three priority markets, alongside Colombia and Argentina. The CEO sums it up like this: “This is not a blind bet. It’s a calculated step that combines trust-based relationships, market potential, and a unique economic moment. We can bet with controlled costs, but with a high impact”.

The role of Gina Tello and comprehensive support
The office will be led by Gina Tello, a Jalisco entrepreneur with experience in jewelry, food, real estate, and business projects in Texas. For her, LOIGICA’s unique value lies in “building migration and business strategy frameworks that provide security and mitigate risk”.

“Many entrepreneurs have the plan to migrate, but they don’t know how to tie it into a solid and achievable business plan. What we do is design a step-by-step approach where the entrepreneur understands the advantages and risks, and can grow in the U.S. ecosystem without stumbling”, Tello states.

Her proposal goes beyond simple legal advice: it includes market and regional analysis in the U.S., competitive studies, value chain evaluations, and projections to meet immigration requirements without compromising business viability. “Some people get an investor visa but then fail to meet the goals for renewal. Our job is to avoid that from the start, with plans that work both legally and commercially”, she adds.

A unique moment for Guadalajara
Guadalajara is home to over 99,600 economic units and nearly 702,000 formal workers. It is also the base for key industries: from tequila production, which generates billions of dollars annually, to tech clusters that have earned it the title of Mexico’s Silicon Valley.

“We are in a moment when Mexico is the United States’ top trading partner, and the replacement of Asian products has opened up a massive market for Mexican manufacturing and services. Add geographic proximity, short transit times, and a more agile supply chain, and the result is an opportunity that cannot be missed”, emphasizes Tello.

For LOIGICA, this opportunity involves turning its office in Guadalajara into a binational hub for entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of this moment. As Tapias concludes: “We didn’t open this office just to be here, but to be relevant. Guadalajara is our entry point for more Mexican companies to successfully establish themselves in the United States. We are going to do it right, and we’re going to do it from here”.
