Challenges Profuturo Seeks to Address
• Personalized Customer Relationships at Scale: Solutions that allow mass, cost-efficient personalized interactions throughout the customer lifecycle, activated by signals and relevant moments already defined by Profuturo, to strengthen loyalty, retention, and the relationship with the AFORE.
• Legal Intelligence and AI Legal Automation: Solutions that maintain updated knowledge of applicable Mexican regulations, automate queries, analyze social security, corporate, and financial regulations—generally all areas of Mexican law—draft and review judicial and/or administrative documents, prepare and review contracts, and analyze legal risks, supported by specialized agents that the legal team can configure and operate autonomously. These solutions should also compute, control, and alert on judicial and administrative procedural deadlines and terms, and run searches in official sources to detect regulatory changes, criteria, and jurisprudence while analyzing their impact.

• Innovation recognition: A distinctive trophy is awarded to the most outstanding company of the event.
