Chinese technology giant Huawei has expressed interest in strengthening its position as a supplier of data center solutions in Brazil, Reuters reported on Thursday. While Huawei clarified it does not plan to invest directly in data centers, the company is keen to provide connectivity, storage, and energy solutions for the growing market.
Huawei’s Latin America and Caribbean Vice President of Public Relations, Atilio Rulli, emphasized the importance of the Brazilian government implementing upcoming tax-break incentives designed to attract tech investments. “We want the government to implement these incentives, which are good for the country, and the time has to be now,” he said.
Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy, is working to build a strong data center industry leveraging its abundant renewable energy resources. The government’s tax-break plan is expected to be sent to Congress soon, according to a finance ministry adviser.
The country has already attracted attention from major players such as ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, as part of its digital infrastructure expansion.
Huawei reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Brazil’s digital transformation with reliable, scalable, and sustainable data center solutions once government incentives come into force.
