DHL Express, INVEST Monterrey to Boost Northern Mexico

DHL Express México has joined the INVEST Monterrey alliance in a move aimed at promoting investment, strengthening business networks and accelerating economic growth in northern Mexico. The agreement, formalized through a membership contract, grants DHL Express access to regional development projects, international promotion opportunities, strategic economic events, and networking with key industry players. The company will also gain visibility on INVEST Monterrey’s communication platforms and access to training programs and service discounts.

As part of the partnership, DHL Express will offer INVEST Monterrey members a special discount program called “Abre tu Cuenta,” providing reduced rates on courier and parcel services for MSMEs and artisans. The initiative seeks to help local entrepreneurs expand their businesses by giving them logistics tools to improve competitiveness and reach new markets.

“Joining the INVEST Monterrey alliance strengthens our presence in the north of the country and allows us to actively participate in projects that promote investment, entrepreneurship and regional competitiveness,” said Manuel Montes, Compliance and Regulatory Affairs Director, DHL Express México.

INVEST Monterrey is Nuevo Leon’s official investment promotion agency, supported by public, private, academic, and social sectors. Executive Director Héctor Tijerina said DHL’s participation will help create “a more dynamic and connected business ecosystem” and bring strategic value to the alliance’s network.

Nuevo Leon, one of Mexico’s key industrial hubs, hosts more than 209,000 registered businesses employing over 2.1 million people, according to 2024 census data. While microbusinesses account for nearly 90% of establishments, large companies, representing just 0.6%, generate 42.7% of jobs and more than half of the state’s income.

The one-year membership marks a strategic alliance between DHL Express and INVEST Monterrey to foster collaboration between public and private sectors and bolster the competitiveness of northern Mexico’s economy.
