09 Sept 2026
Conference Room
Mexico Connect

Mexico’s data center growth is entering a new phase as developers look beyond traditional hubs like Querétaro to unlock capacity nationwide. This session highlights projects that demonstrate how alternative regions can support AI-driven demand while strengthening grid resilience, regional economies, and national digital sovereignty. This session examines what these emerging projects reveal and how their lessons can accelerate data center deployment across Mexico.

Key discussion points:

  • Why new regions such as Nuevo Leon, Jalisco, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi and Yucatan are becoming viable alternatives to Querétaro for large-scale data centers
  • Lessons learned from developing AI-ready facilities outside established markets
  • Power, land, permitting, and workforce strategies that enable faster expansion in new regions
  • How regional demand, utilities, and public–private partnerships can unlock scalable data center growth nationwide
