09 Sept 2026
Mexico Connect

Mexico’s data center growth is entering a new phase as developers look beyond traditional hubs like Querétaro to unlock capacity nationwide. Projects such as the 250MW Durango data center 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 Durango are becoming viable alternatives to Querétaro for large-scale data centers
  • Lessons learned from developing a 250MW AI-ready facility 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
