LATAM Summit

Latin America is emerging as one of the most compelling growth markets for digital infrastructure investment. Rapid growth in data consumption, accelerating fiber deployment, expanding data center capacity, cloud adoption, and increasing demand for digital connectivity are creating significant opportunities for operators, investors, and infrastructure funds. At the same time, market fragmentation, varying regulatory environments, foreign exchange considerations, and political uncertainty mean investors must be highly selective in where and how they deploy capital. This panel will explore where investors are finding the most attractive opportunities across the region and how the Latin American digital infrastructure investment story is evolving.

•    Which markets are attracting the greatest levels of investment across fiber, towers, data centers, and connectivity infrastructure?
•    How should investors assess regulatory, political, and currency risks across different markets?
•    What structures are proving most effective for investing in Latin American digital infrastructure: direct investment, joint ventures, partnerships, acquisitions, or platform strategies?

The economic and digital integration of the United States and Mexico is accelerating. Driven by nearshoring, manufacturing investment, AI infrastructure growth, cloud expansion, and increasing cross-border data flows, demand for resilient, high-capacity connectivity between the two countries has never been greater. This panel will explore how operators, investors, enterprises, and policymakers can work together to build the next generation of cross-border connectivity infrastructure.

•    How are nearshoring, advanced manufacturing, and AI-driven investment changing connectivity requirements between the US and Mexico?
•    What role will long-haul fiber, metro fiber, carrier-neutral interconnection facilities, and international gateways play in supporting future growth? 
•    What will the next decade of cross-border connectivity look like as AI, cloud, and digital trade continue to expand?

Brazil is rapidly emerging as one of the most attractive digital infrastructure markets globally. The country combines strong economic fundamentals, abundant renewable energy resources, growing hyperscale demand, expanding fiber infrastructure, and a strategic position as Latin America's largest digital economy. As AI drives demand for data center capacity and energy-intensive computing, investors are increasingly looking at Brazil not only as a connectivity market, but as a destination for large-scale digital infrastructure investment. This panel will explore how data centers, power, fiber, and capital are converging to create the next phase of growth in Brazil's digital economy.

•    What makes Brazil stand out compared with other Latin American digital infrastructure markets?
•    How is Brazil's renewable energy advantage supporting data center development and attracting international investment?
•    How is Brazil’s connectivity landscape evolving and how are new subsea systems supporting the digital economy?

Colombia is a key emerging market in Latin American digital infrastructure, driven by rising broadband adoption, growing enterprise demand, increased cloud utilization, and significant investment in fiber and connectivity infrastructure. As businesses, government agencies, and consumers accelerate their digital transformation efforts, demand for resilient networks, data center capacity, and international connectivity continues to grow. At the same time, Colombia's strategic location, improving digital ecosystem, and ambition to serve as a regional connectivity hub are creating new opportunities for operators, investors, and infrastructure developers. This panel will explore how connectivity, digital infrastructure investment, and economic development are converging to shape Colombia's future.

• How is Colombia's growing digital economy creating opportunities for operators and investors?
• Can Colombia become a strategic gateway connecting South America, Central America, and global digital markets?
• What opportunities exist around subsea cable connectivity, regional interconnection, cloud infrastructure, and digital services?
