The tech giant, Google, has taken a key step towards the future by inaugurating the construction of its much-anticipated Data Center in the Science Park of Canelones. This project, with an investment of US$ 850 million, promises to transform the outlook of technology in Uruguay and Latin America.
With the presence of prominent authorities, business leaders, and diplomats, this event marks the beginning of a new phase of growth and development for the region. The construction of the facility will take place in four stages, creating jobs for hundreds of people and reaffirming Google’s commitment to Uruguay’s progress.
Eduardo López, President of Google Cloud for Latin America, emphasized the importance of this initiative as a driver of innovation and job creation. With the data processing capacity of this Data Center, companies throughout the country will have access to new business opportunities and will be able to expand their horizons in the global market.
Uruguay thus joins Google’s select network of data centers, establishing itself as a strategic destination for the tech industry. This Data Center will operate continuously, providing support to platforms used by billions of people around the world.
With this unique project in the country, Google demonstrates its confidence in Uruguay’s growth potential and its commitment to fostering innovation in the region. Google’s Data Center in Uruguay is more than just a technological infrastructure: it is a tool for transformation and progress for the country, its residents, and investors.
This technological infrastructure reinforces the development of the IT sector in Uruguay, positioning the country in a privileged place in both the region and the world. Uruguay already holds a prominent position in software production, standing out as a true hub in the sector. It is home to major multinational companies such as UKG, Globant, Vasta Software Group, Tata Consultancy Services, and Mercado Libre, coexisting alongside national companies like Prometeo, Light It, dLocal, Genexus, Nearsure, among many others.
