Industry Findings: Strategic infrastructure policy plus renewable energy advantages are positioning Chile as an attractive, low-latency location for training and inference capacity — changing where regional ML workloads are hosted. Chile’s National Data Centres Plan (launched Dec-2024) aims to attract sizeable data-centre investment and to build specialized AI training infrastructure, which reframes procurement toward vendors that can offer residency, green-power sourcing and validated campus integration.
Industry Progression: Major cloud providers are translating the plan into on-the-ground projects: Amazon Web Services announced a commitment to build a Chile region and invest over US$4 billion (May-2025), and subsequent public announcements around the Humboldt trans-Pacific cable joint venture (Jun-2025) improve international connectivity. These capacity and connectivity moves reduce latency for APAC–Americas workflows and expand the pool of production-grade hosting options for regional ML deployments.
Industry Player Insights: The supplier environment is moving to monetise campus and connectivity advantages: AWS’s Chile region commitment (May-2025), Amazon’s multi-year investment plan and other hyperscaler interests plus local colocation growth create immediate partner pathways for systems integrators and data-centre operators. Vendors that bundle green-power-backed compute, low-latency connectivity (Humboldt cable) and residency-aware MLOps will be best positioned to win clients in Chilean mining, astronomy, finance and cross-Pacific research partnerships.
