Mexico has officially launched the "Kutsari" project, a national initiative to strengthen the country's semiconductor industry. Announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum on Feb. 6, 2025, the program aims to position Mexico as a key player in semiconductor design and manufacturing.
The initiative, led by the Ministry of Sciences, Humanities, Technology, and Innovation (
SECIHTI) includes the establishment of the National Semiconductor Design Center and a network of design hubs in Puebla, Jalisco, and Sonora.
The primary goal is to enhance domestic design capabilities through collaborations with public higher education institutions. The project also proposes legal reforms to streamline patent registration, enabling faster commercialization of semiconductor technologies.
“The National Semiconductor Design Center unites scientists, technology developers, and higher education institutions to design innovative semiconductors. We will expedite the patent process to ensure these designs can be commercialized and integrated into public and private enterprises,” said President Sheinbaum.
Rosaura Ruiz, Minister, SECIHTI, highlighted Mexico’s strong foundation in semiconductor research, with over 40 years of experience in manufacturing. She noted that the project’s initial phase will focus on chip design, with plans to produce traditional or "legacy" chips to meet domestic demand in industries like automotive, home appliances, and medical devices.
“Semiconductor-based systems are essential to modern life. Mexico has invested in research, technological development, and advanced training at the master’s and doctoral levels. Now, we must consolidate these efforts to strengthen the industry,” said Edmundo Gutiérrez, National Coordinator, Semiconductor Project, and Director General, Innovation and Welfare.
Mexico currently imports more than US$20 billion in semiconductors annually for sectors such as electronics, telecommunications, and automotive. The Kutsari project seeks to reduce this dependence by fostering local production and attracting investment in semiconductor technology.
In addition to design and manufacturing, the initiative includes creating a supportive legal and regulatory framework. The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (
IMPI) is prioritizing efforts to strengthen patent registration in the semiconductor sector.
“We need to reinforce the culture of patenting in Mexico, especially in semiconductors, to ensure national innovations are protected and commercialized,” said Santiago Nieto, Director General, IMPI. In 2024, only 6.38% of the 16,189 patent applications received by IMPI were from Mexican nationals.
The government also plans to establish a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the medium term, with the National Institute of Electricity and Clean Energy (
INEEL) spearheading the development of prototypes. These efforts will focus on applications in telecommunications, satellites, and medical devices, aiming to advance Mexico’s role in the global semiconductor ecosystem.

Kutsari Project seeks to leverage Mexico's 40 years of experience in chip research and development
El Heraldo de México
Feb 9, 2025
The Kutsari Project, recently announced by President Claudia Sheinbaum, aims to leverage Mexico's four decades of experience in semiconductor research and development to position the country as a leader in this industry. This effort will materialize in the creation of the National Center for Semiconductor Design, which will have offices in Puebla, Jalisco, and Sonora. The project seeks to consolidate collaboration between scientists, technology developers, and higher education institutions to promote semiconductor design and innovation
