The Opportunity

Problem

Mexico's per capita GDP and productivity have remained essentially flat for 25 years despite surging exports, doubled wages, and falling poverty.

Solution

LiftBench lets Mexican CEOs upload operational data and instantly see how their labor and total factor productivity compare against real Mexican peers across 28 industries. It then delivers prioritized, locally-relevant recommendations based on what high-performing Mexican companies did to break the 25-year productivity stagnation. Leaders and policymakers use it to translate macro gains from exports into measurable micro productivity improvements.

Target Audience

Mexican CEOs, business leaders, economists, and economic policymakers

Differentiator

Curated dataset of 12 years of anonymized Mexican company metrics linked to INEGI and Banxico data — no other tool speaks the local economic language or understands nearshoring-specific constraints.
