Asociación de Internet MX

What Asociación de Internet MX does

Asociación de Internet MX (AIMX), legally constituted as Asociación Mexicana de Internet, A.C., is a Mexican civil association headquartered in Colonia del Valle, Benito Juárez, Mexico City. Founded in 2005 (originally as AMIPCI) and rebranded to its current identity, it serves as the principal industry body for internet-sector companies in Mexico, with a membership base exceeding 100 firms spanning e-commerce, technology, finance, telecommunications, and digital services. Its mandate is to promote responsible, secure internet development and represent the sector in policy, regulatory, and public discourse.

AIMX generates revenue through annual membership fees scaled to each member company's average annual billing in Mexico, supplemented by event sponsorships and partnerships. Its deliverable portfolio includes (i) annual Estudios de Hábitos de los Usuarios de Internet plus targeted studies on e-commerce, cybersecurity, online education, employment search, and approval/chargeback rates; (ii) the registered Sello de Confianza trust-mark program for e-commerce, operated via sellosdeconfianza.org.mx and recognized through its World Trustmark Alliance membership since 2007; (iii) the Cursos AIMX online training platform; (iv) the Premios Internet awards program; (v) the annual Día del Internet celebration on May 17; (vi) the Like Inteligente digital inclusion initiative; and (vii) the PUI compliance service offered through partner AI ABOGAINGE for connection to Mexico's Unique Identity Platform. Member-facing intelligence includes weekly reports and federal legislative monitoring.

The organization is governed by an annually elected Board of Directors comprising a President, Executive Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and topic-specific Vice Presidencies covering cybersecurity, e-commerce, education, legal affairs, government relations, financial services, human capital, advertising/marketing, and digital health. Internal governance is formalized through a published Code of Ethics and Interior Regulations (2021). With 11-50 employees, the operating model is member-funded, advocacy-led, and event-anchored — positioned as a convening and certification body rather than a product vendor.
