Colombia's burgeoning data center industry is projected to contribute $42 billion to the national GDP by 2030, driven by the demand for low-latency data processing and artificial intelligence. A McKinsey report highlights that global investment in data centers will reach $6.7 trillion, with significant growth anticipated in Colombia's data infrastructure from 2024 to 2030. This expansion is expected to enhance wages and reduce unemployment, positioning data centers as a key economic driver alongside traditional sectors like transportation and energy.
