Amazon invests $4 billion for AWS region in Chile by 2026

Amazon Web Services (AWS) will invest over $4 billion to launch a new cloud region in Chile by the end of 2026, marking its third major hub in Latin America after Brazil and Mexico. The project will include three Availability Zones at launch and aims to meet the region's fast-growing demand for cloud services, offering advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. AWS's expansion is seen as both a catalyst for digital transformation in Chile and a validation of the country's National Data Center Plan, which seeks to attract global tech investment. The company is committed to sustainable operations in Chile, utilizing renewable energy and implementing efficient cooling solutions to address environmental concerns. This move positions AWS to lead in Latin America's evolving cloud market, potentially influencing broader industry practices in sustainability and technology. Chilean officials have welcomed the investment as a sign of confidence in the country's innovation-friendly environment.
