CASE STUDY
Our investment programme allows us to meet current demand while preparing for future growth across Latin America.
The AI Grid provides regional presence and proximity to users through strategically located facilities, while the AI Factory component delivers the large-scale computing power required for intensive AI workloads. Together, these environments create a balanced architecture that delivers performance, efficiency and scalability.
This approach allows customers to process data closer to users while also accessing the significant computing resources needed for advanced AI applications.
What role will the new facilities play in supporting this strategy?
The five facilities planned for 2026 are critical to our expansion roadmap. Projects such as TGRU1 in Santana de Parnaíba have been designed specifically for high-density AI and cloud computing environments.
Enterprise opportunity
Brazilian enterprises are accelerating investments in artificial intelligence, automation and analytics. This shift is increasing demand for scalable infrastructure, low-latency connectivity and secure facilities capable of supporting operations.
Key facts
Investment plan: US $ 2 billion. Timeline: 2026 – 2028. New data centres planned for 2026: Five. Target markets: Hyperscalers, enterprises, cloud providers and telecom operators. Core strategy: AI Grid and AI Factory.
TGRU1 alone is planned to support up to 200MW of capacity, which demonstrates the scale of infrastructure required to support future digital services. These developments will significantly strengthen our ability to serve both hyperscale and enterprise customers.
How does Tecto’ s relationship with V. tal strengthen its market position?
The relationship provides a unique combination of data centre and connectivity infrastructure. Through V. tal, we have access to one of the largest digital infrastructure ecosystems in the Americas, including extensive fibre-optic and submarine cable networks.
This enables us to deliver integrated solutions that combine processing power, connectivity and geographic reach. Customers increasingly want infrastructure partners that can provide a complete ecosystem rather than isolated services.
What is your outlook for the Latin American data centre market over the next five years?
We believe Latin America is entering a period of accelerated infrastructure growth. AI adoption is increasing rapidly, cloud migration continues to expand and enterprises are becoming more sophisticated in their use of digital technologies.
At the same time, governments and businesses recognise the importance of resilient digital infrastructure for economic development and competitiveness.
As a result, we expect strong demand for AI-ready data centres, connectivity services and high-performance digital infrastructure across the region. Our investment programme is designed to ensure Tecto is well positioned to support that growth and help shape the next phase of Latin America’ s digital economy. •
