historical wealth


Explanation:
Wealth = 'riqueza', And that's how I interpret the intended meaning in this scenario.

A quick search for "wealth of young talent" throws up several examples of usage.

NB: I'd split the query sentence into 2 in translation, something like this:
"Mexico has a historical wealth of young talent and areas of opportunity in all sectors. To properly take advantage of Mexican talent, it must be matched with innovation and capital."

México cuenta con un bono histórico de talento joven y de áreas de oportunidad en todos los sectores para aprovechar oportunamente el talento mexicano se debe hacer juego con la innovación y el capital.

I don't understand why people thinks it means there is a too much/surplus/excess/ talent, which would be a negative thing from my point of view.

Soory, I meant think, not "thinks"...

Sorry, not "soory"...
