The growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and digital services is driving new investments in technology infrastructure across Latin America.
Equinix will invest USD 419 million to strengthen its regional presence through projects in Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
The expansion of digital services, the adoption of cloud technologies and the growth of AI-driven applications continue to fuel new investments in digital infrastructure across Latin America.
In this context, Equinix announced investments exceeding USD 419 million between 2025 and 2026 to strengthen its presence in regional markets including Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia.
According to the company, the funds will be allocated to expanding data centers, interconnection services and infrastructure designed to support growing enterprise connectivity demands.
Eduardo Carvalho, Managing Director of Latin America at Equinix, said:
”Latin America is undergoing an accelerated digital transformation, and we are seeing a growing need for infrastructure that enables organizations to connect more efficiently with customers, partners and suppliers in increasingly distributed environments.”
Investments in Colombia.
As part of this plan, Colombia is among the company’s priority markets.
Equinix said it has allocated approximately USD 28 million to the development of its second data center in Bogotá, a project linked to the growth of sectors such as fintech, digital services and cloud adoption in the country.
The company believes the Colombian capital is strengthening its position within the Andean region’s digital ecosystem as enterprise digitalization initiatives advance and demand for connectivity and interconnection services continues to increase.
Interconnection growth.
According to the Global Interconnection Index (GXI) published by Equinix, interconnection bandwidth capacity across the Americas region is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 34% through 2029.
The report attributes this growth to the adoption of multicloud models, hybrid architectures and artificial intelligence-related initiatives.
Outlook for digital infrastructure.
In addition to expanding its data center operations, the company said it has incorporated capabilities related to artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and high-performance interconnection.
According to Equinix, these capabilities are intended to address growing demand for infrastructure required to support digital transformation initiatives across multiple industries.
Industry estimates cited by the company suggest Latin America could attract more than USD 15 billion in additional data center investments by 2030, further strengthening its role in the global digital infrastructure market.
According to Equinix, this outlook reinforces the region’s position as a strategic market for technology infrastructure and digital services development in the coming years.
