In 2025, Cobre's solutions generated savings of over $27 million for its clients. Arca Continental and its focus on water. On World Water Day, Arca Continental, chaired by Jorge Humberto Santos Reyna and led by Arturo Gutiérrez Hernández, reinforced its water security strategy with a water management model that assesses risks and strengthens the resilience of the watersheds where it operates. The model has three axes: efficient use of the resource, conservation and replenishment of sources, and access for the population. In 2026, the fintech is already operating at a rate of $2.6 billion per month, consolidating itself as a critical player in the modernization of immediate payment systems in the region. Currently, over 300 companies in Latin America use the platform to process payments, optimize their treasury, and reduce operational friction. Overall, Jalisco articulates a strategic air corridor that boosts manufacturing and tourism, positioning the West as the region with the most competitive infrastructure in Mexico for the end of the decade. MAJA accelerates its expansion. Mexican outdoor apparel and accessories brand MAJA Sportswear intensified its growth strategy by opening three new stores in the Mexico City Valley (Metepec, Arcos Bosques, and Paseo Interlomas) in just nine days. With these additions, the brand now operates 114 units in all 32 states of the country, highlighting recent dynamism in plazas like Chihuahua and Puerto Vallarta. Nicolás Gutiérrez's plan aims to exceed 150 units before the end of the year, transforming MAJA from an emerging brand to a consolidated competitor in the functional lifestyle segment. Under the direction of its co-founder, José Ignacio De Nicolás Gutiérrez, the firm projects 40 openings for 2026, seeking to consolidate in high-purchase-power commercial corridors before greater saturation from international competitors. For 2026 alone, the Guadalajara airport will receive 4,917 million pesos, consolidating itself as the main growth asset for the group. Pacific Airport Group (GAP), led by Raúl Revuelta, will invest 22,377 million pesos in Guadalajara Airport between 2025 and 2029. In the country alone, the beverage bottler reports recovering 13 billion liters of water per year through ecosystem restoration and water infrastructure initiatives, in addition to participating in the rehabilitation of the Mina II Aqueduct in Monterrey, which will allow for the rescue of an additional 4 billion liters. This bet is complemented by an investment of 3,662 million pesos in Puerto Vallarta, where the operational capacity will practically double with a new terminal of 74,000 square meters. The executive described the current period as "the most ambitious year in MAJA's history," emphasizing the goal of demonstrating that a Mexican proposal can lead the sportswear market against global giants. In this regard, it highlights a water efficiency index of 1.53 liters of water per liter of beverage produced, placing it among the best in the industry. The award coincides with a period of accelerated expansion for Cobre in the Mexican and Colombian markets. During 2025, Cobre processed more than $17 billion in corporate payments, doubling its transactional volume compared to the previous cycle. The master plan contemplates a New Terminal Building of 87,000 square meters, representing a 91% increase in infrastructure, in addition to a new 17-kilometer road system and a second access via Adolf B. Horn Avenue to mitigate saturation on the Chapala highway. Revuelta's strategy integrates technological modernization with a 67% increase in autonomous migration filters and the acquisition of 285 hectares for future expansion. This operational scale allows the company to gain logistics efficiency and brand positioning at a key moment for the consumption of technical and sports fashion in the national market. Cobre: Innovation Leader 2026. Cobre, the fintech for cross-border payment infrastructure led by its CEO and co-founder, Jose Gedeón, is recognized this Tuesday as the most innovative company in Latin America in Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2026 ranking.
