Colombia’s case for resilient digital infrastructure is getting stronger

A region on the rise: Colombia’s leadership in resilient digital infrastructure confirmed again with Ilkari’s level IV certification

As demand for AI-ready, resilient digital infrastructure accelerates globally, a small number of markets are beginning to separate signal from noise. Colombia is emerging as one of them, with its data centre market projected to grow from $81 million in 2024 to more than $300 million by 2030 as AI workloads, cloud adoption and national digital transformation converge.

Ilkari’s ICREA Level IV certification adds a clear proof point to that momentum. Awarded by the International Computer Room Experts Association (ICREA), the certification confirms that Ilkari’s Tocancipá facility is engineered to sustain uninterrupted operations under extreme conditions, validating maturity across power, cooling, communications and security. In a market expanding at an estimated 28 percent CAGR, those fundamentals increasingly determine which infrastructure can support mission-critical and regulated workloads.

Beyond the certification itself, the announcement reflects a broader shift underway. As sovereignty, resilience and operational control move from policy language into infrastructure requirements, markets that can demonstrate real-world performance are gaining attention. Colombia’s ascent is increasingly defined not by ambition alone, but by validated capability.

Ilkari’s continued investment in Tocancipá underscores that confidence. Rather than speculative expansion, the company is backing certified, operational infrastructure designed to support regulated and mission-critical environments today — offering a model for how emerging markets can compete on resilience, not scale alone.
