Mexico begins 2026 at a particularly relevant moment in its development. The country has built a solid base of technical capabilities, specialized talent, and accumulated experience that allows it to move forward with confidence in strategic sectors. Among these, mobility and energy have become two of the main engines of economic growth, competitiveness and social well-being. Their impact goes beyond infrastructure, directly influencing productivity, regional integration, and the quality of life of millions of people.

When these sectors are addressed with vision, planning and high-level engineering, their positive effect multiplies across the economy. Mobility and energy are not merely areas of investment, but platforms that enable the development of other productive sectors, strengthen industrial activity, and create the conditions for sustained growth. In this sense, committing to their proper design and development is a long-term strategic decision.

In recent years, Mexico has consistently strengthened its technical and human capabilities in both mobility and energy. Today, the country not only participates in the execution of relevant projects, but also plays an increasingly active role in their design, engineering, and optimization, generating value from the earliest stages. At Sener, which in 2026 marks its 70th anniversary, we have accompanied and participated in this evolution, contributing to improving project quality and maximizing long-term impact, always with an integrated and results-oriented vision.

Mobility is a direct enabler of economic and social development. Well-designed transportation systems make it possible to connect people, cities, and regions more efficiently; strengthen productive activity; and facilitate access to employment, education, and services. In a country with Mexico’s territorial and demographic diversity, mobility plays an essential role in reducing gaps, integrating markets and improving regional competitiveness.

In 2026, the opportunity for Mexico lies in continuing to promote mobility solutions that respond effectively to the country’s real needs. This implies integrating infrastructure, operations, and sustainability from a comprehensive engineering perspective. Properly designed transportation systems not only improve technical performance, but also ensure long-term viability, reduce operating costs, and offer safer, more reliable service to users. Experience shows that when engineering is placed at the center of decision-making, social and economic benefits are more lasting.

In parallel, energy continues to be a fundamental platform for Mexico’s growth. The availability of reliable and efficient energy is a key factor for industrial development, investment attraction and the consolidation of new productive activities. Energy is the input that allows value chains to function, enables industry to innovate and helps the country remain competitive in an increasingly demanding global environment.

Energy engineering plays a central role in this process. It makes it possible to transform demand into well-structured projects, optimize the use of available resources and strengthen infrastructure resilience. Committing to engineering developed in Mexico not only improves project efficiency, but also contributes to the generation of local knowledge, the development of specialized talent and the strengthening of the national technical ecosystem. Each well-designed project leaves installed capabilities that raise the level of the sector as a whole.

The true value of mobility and energy projects lies in their design. International experience demonstrates that well-conceived engineering reduces risks, optimizes costs and ensures better operational performance over time. Mexico today has highly skilled professionals and companies that combine global experience with a deep understanding of the local context. This combination is a strength that makes it possible to develop solutions aligned with the country’s needs and with world-class standards.

From Sener’s perspective, 2026 represents an opportunity to continue consolidating this path. Promoting well-designed projects, with technical rigor and a long-term vision, will allow mobility and energy to continue serving as levers of economic and social development. Success is not built solely on large investments, but on well-founded decisions made at the design stage, supported by engineering that anticipates challenges and maximizes the value of each project.

Investing in Mexico means investing in doing things right. It means trusting in its talent, its technical capabilities and its potential to develop infrastructure that works today and continues to generate value in the future. Mobility and energy represent a major opportunity for growth, and solid, responsible ,and results-oriented engineering is the key to turning that opportunity into sustained development for the country.
