“This is a historic investment for the company in Brazil,” Guise said at an event in Ceará with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. “It’s a key step that reflects the company’s commitment with Brazil, one of the most dynamic digital markets in the world.”
Brazil is considered the best-positioned country in the region to tap into the global boom in data-centre investing to power artificial intelligence because it has numerous sources of renewable energy, an interconnected national grid, and the most high-speed fibre optic cables in the region. Pecem is close to a major hub for submarine cables that land at the city of Fortaleza, which provide one of the shortest routes from Brazil to Europe and Africa.
In an interview with a local television network earlier on Wednesday, Lula said the investment would trigger “a revolution here in the state of Ceará”.
