Google will install its first Data Center data region in Mexico, which will be located in Querétaro. The announcement was made on Monday by the governor of Queretaro, Mauricio Kuri and the Secretary of Sustainable Development, Marco del Prete. Although the company has decided to keep the amount of the investment confidential, the news reinforces the state’s position as a hub for digital infrastructure.
“It confirms the state’s vocation as a data center valley,” stated Del Prete. Querétaro is consolidating its position as a strategic hub for the installation of data clouds, thanks to its privileged location and the security it offers investors.
This new Google data center will be the first in Mexico and the third in Latin America, after Chile and Brazil. The facility will serve the digital infrastructure needs of both Mexico and the entire Latin American region.
Google’s arrival in Querétaro comes on top of other important investment announcements in the technology sector in the state. In March of this year, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced an investment of 5 billion dollars to establish its first AWS Central in Mexico and the second in Latin America. Likewise, in May, Microsoft started operations of its first data center region in the country. This facility is Microsoft’s first in Latin America and is part of its more than 60 cloud regions worldwide.
These developments underscore Querétaro’s growing importance as a hub for technology infrastructure in the region, attracting investment from leading global technology companies and consolidating its role in the digital economy.
