Introduction to Siemens Energy and its Querétaro Hub
Siemens Energy, a German-origin company, has launched the second phase of its Competence Hub Americas in Querétaro. The center now employs 750 specialists, with plans to reach 1,000 by 2028. This expansion is part of Siemens Energy’s strategy to achieve a 13% growth in profits by 2026.
Center Operations and Growth
The Competence Hub Americas began operations in October 2023 with over 250 qualified professionals specializing in finance, logistics, accounting, procurement, and various business areas. This positions Siemens Energy’s operations in Mexico as central to its expansion into new business areas.
By 2028, the center aims to employ 1,000 people, as reported by the Secretaría de Desarrollo Sustentable (Sedesu) of Querétaro.
Leadership Development and Gender Diversity
Cristina Valadez, Director of the Competence Hub Americas, explained that the center serves as a talent nursery for Siemens Energy, contributing to both local and global programs. The center has 25% female leadership, with plans to increase this percentage by 2028.
Impact on the Region and Siemens Energy
The Querétaro unit positions Mexico as the primary space for Siemens Energy’s operations, innovation, and talent development in the region. The company anticipates a 13% revenue growth and a net profit between 3,000 and 4,000 million euros for the fiscal year 2026.
The expansion of data centers positively impacts Siemens Energy’s business, acting as a significant growth driver in the first fiscal quarter of 2026. The company’s strong expansion in data centers, combined with robust demand in various regions and technologies, contributed to a record-breaking order value of 17,600 million euros in the last quarter.
Technology and Infrastructure Investments
The Hub centralizes many global IT operations in Mexico, driving project execution and service delivery while providing worldwide support for Siemens Energy’s technology infrastructure. The team specializes in new technologies, digitalization, and artificial intelligence.
New facilities will include a “Digi Room” for promoting, training, and practicing with new technologies. Mexico is the second-largest market for data centers in Latin America, with AI demand expected to grow by 70% by 2027.
Siemens Energy’s report highlights that data center growth drives the need to modernize and expand electrical infrastructure, increasing overall electricity demand. This results in greater investments in energy transport networks and generation capacity for all sector companies.
All Siemens Energy business areas benefit from this trend, as data centers require energy efficiency technologies and reliable, sustainable infrastructure solutions.
