In September 2024, Microsoft announced its largest single investment in Brazil, committing R$14.7 billion ($2.7 billion USD) over three years (2024–2027) to expand its cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure. This expansion focuses on the State of São Paulo, where Microsoft has operated Azure regions since 2014. The infrastructure is supported by 100% renewable energy, including a massive wind power complex in Cajuína that began operations in mid-2024. As part of this commitment, Microsoft also launched the ConectAI program to train 5 million Brazilians in AI skills, reflecting the growing importance of Brazil as a regional hub for cloud and AI services in South America.
