Google Cloud — Colombia AI Region

Google Cloud’s Bogotá region, launched in 2023, is the first major public cloud region in the Andean countries of South America (serving Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Bolivia). The region offers a low-latency option for Colombian enterprises and government agencies running AI workloads that previously required routing through São Paulo or Miami. The infrastructure supports Google Vertex AI, BigQuery ML, and other AI-enabled Google Cloud services. Colombia has a growing AI startup ecosystem and the government has made digital transformation a national priority. The region’s presence has also attracted multinational firms to expand AI-driven operations in the country. Google has invested significantly in Colombian technology education and skills programs alongside the infrastructure investment.
