# Mexico digital infrastructure and AI manufacturing expansion > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mexico-digital-infrastructure-and-data-center-expansion > Updated: 2026-09-02T17:45:00.000Z. Sources: 21. Developments: 4. Mexico is rapidly emerging as a critical global hub for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and technology investment. Driven by demand for cloud services, data center investments are projected to exceed USD 13 billion. Querétaro remains the national epicenter, accounting for 65% of installed capacity. KIO Data Centers is advancing this growth with a $1.3 billion USD expansion for its 100 MW QRO3 project in Querétaro, which is expected to create over 8,100 specialized jobs. Additionally, KIO plans to invest over $200 million USD in 2026 across Mexico City, Monterrey, and Querétaro. The country is also strengthening its position in the AI manufacturing chain. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed that the company’s AI supercomputers are manufactured in Mexico, with servers and supercomputers assembled in the Guadalajara metropolitan area by Foxconn. This aligns with reports of a 148% growth in technology exports, driven by the assembly of computing cards and servers. As of June 2026, annual server exports had increased 172.1%, nearly rivaling the automotive sector in total value. On the policy and venture capital fronts, Mexico raised $901.8 million USD in venture capital in the first half of 2026, led by fintech, insurtech, and AI. While a federal AI law is pending in the Senate, Mexico and Spain have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to cooperate on digital transformation and cybersecurity. Furthermore, the National Digital Alliance has been introduced to unify technological development between the public and private sectors, alongside domestic projects like the Coatlicue supercomputer, intended to be the most powerful in Latin America. ## Claims - Nvidia's AI supercomputers are manufactured in Mexico.
