Queretaro has firmly established itself as the leading data center hub in the country, housing 72% of all technological facilities of this kind nationwide. Thanks to figures provided by the Mexican Data Center Association, the state stands out remarkably by concentrating an installed capacity of 202 megawatts, strategically located within modern industrial parks in key municipalities such as Colón, El Marqués, and Pedro Escobedo. This leadership places Querétaro well above other regions in the country, strongly driving the transformation and development of the digital economy.

The success and rapid expansion of this technological infrastructure in the state are directly linked to a privileged geographical location and optimal connectivity. Situated along Highway 57 and featuring excellent fiber-optic networks, roadways, and proximity to ports and airports, the region offers the ideal conditions for the data storage and processing that support the entire modern digital network. Furthermore, the industry has demonstrated a firm commitment to environmental sustainability and efficient resource use; data centers operate using advanced closed-loop chilled water systems, ensuring exceptionally low and controlled water consumption compared to other commercial or residential sectors.

In addition to its major impact on infrastructure and connectivity, this sector significantly boosts economic growth and the creation of high-value job opportunities. With a solid projection for future expansion, the tech industry fosters the creation of thousands of specialized jobs, while also establishing important collaboration agreements with higher education institutions to prepare the region’s new generations of technical talent.
