The Mexican state of Nuevo León is consolidating its position as a technology hub in Latin America with the announcement of the construction of the first High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Center in the region.

The news was announced by the Governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, during the Mexico AI+ event this month.

The facility will house Nvidia technology, with the project led by AI-GDC and investment firm Cipre Holding. The project contemplates an initial investment of $1 billion and will be developed in phases from 2026 to 2030.

Details on location and facility specifications weren't shared.

This project is accompanied by the creation of an Undersecretariat for Investment, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence in Nuevo León, with the aim of strengthening digital talent, fostering collaboration with universities, startups, and research centers, and attracting more high-impact technological investments to the region.

Operators in Nuevo León, mostly centered around Monterrey, include Kio, Equinix, and Telmex's Triara.
