The investment company that founded Latin American data center firm OData, through one of its infrastructure funds, has announced the launch of Omnia, a new data center platform. Omnia will develop, build, and operate large-scale, purpose-built data centers across Latin America.
Led by CEO Rodrigo Abreu, Patria said Omnia will focus on 100MW+ developments able to host high-density workloads via liquid cooling. The company said the sites will be powered by renewable energy.
“The launch of Omnia marks an important moment for Patria. We believe Latin America is perfectly positioned to support the growth of the global AI data center infrastructure, with its vast potential of renewable energy at competitive cost, developed fiber connectivity, geopolitical neutrality and friendly regulatory environment for the development of new data center projects, allowing hyperscalers to rapidly expand their offerings while maintaining their ambitious environmental commitments,” said CEO Abreu, who is also digital infrastructure operating partner at Patria Investments.
Felipe Pinto, managing partner of Patria’s Infrastructure Investments in Latin America, added: “Global demand for data centers is expected to more than double by 2030, driven by the widespread adoption of AI and the continued migration to cloud. In this context, Latin America’s capacity is forecast to more than triple over the coming years, requiring up to $50 billion in new capital investment. With the support of Patria’s track record and expertise in Energy, Data Centers and Real Estate, we believe Omnia has great potential ahead of it”.
