A total of 12 data centers in Querétaro add up to 15 billion dollars in investments from October 2021 to date, highlighted Marco Antonio Del Prete, Secretary of Sustainable Development of Querétaro.
With this, the state has consolidated its position as Mexico‘s main data center. In fact, according to Del Prete, it already ranks sixth in the Americas in data center colocation and fourteenth worldwide in terms of energy capacity.
“It is an industry that is not only important in terms of infrastructure, but also in terms of industry development, because suppliers are developed in facilities, maintenance and security.” said the official.
Data centers in Querétaro
Several key data centers stand out in Querétaro. For example, CloudHQ is developing a campus with an investment of 3.6 billion dollars, whose operation will begin in 2026. In addition, KIO Networks has two centers in El Marqués.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) plans to invest 5 billion dollars to offer more than 440 cloud services.
Ascenty (Digital Realty) also stands out, with three facilities. ODATA also operates centers in Querétaro and San Miguel de Allende.
“We will soon be announcing companies dedicated to the supply of components for data centers,” said Del Prete.
Energy
Mauricio Kuri, governor of Querétaro, instructed the creation of a state energy agency to link industry with energy suppliers.
Currently, the energy issue is gradually being addressed, but remains a challenge due to the growing demand from industry and the population.
“We can guarantee that the data centers that are arriving already have energy, they have made important investments to guarantee the supply in their facilities,” commented Del Prete.
Kuri and Del Prete visited Mexico City this Tuesday to promote Mexico’s 31st Foreign Trade Congress. It will be held in Querétaro from October 29-31, 2025.
In an increasingly interconnected world, data centers have established themselves as critical infrastructure to sustain the digital economy. The boom in internet traffic, the advance of artificial intelligence, the growth of cloud storage and the expansion of the Internet of Things have triggered the demand for spaces capable of processing huge volumes of information quickly and securely.
