Alibaba Cloud launches Brazil region for enterprise customers
It is the company's second region in Latin America after opening one in Mexico in February 2025.
Alibaba Cloud inaugurated its inaugural South American cloud region in Brazil on Thursday, 27 August, comprising two data centers in São Paulo, with a focus on artificial intelligence. The launch precedes a potential vote by Brazil’s Senate on Redata, a tax incentive designed to attract similar investments. The company, which now operates 106 availability zones across 31 regions worldwide, positions Brazil as a dynamic digital economy, targeting e-commerce, financial technology, and AI start-ups.
The data centers were constructed specifically to cater to AI needs, offering a portfolio of corporate AI agents ranging from development and testing to running and securing AI systems. These agents utilize Alibaba’s Qwen family of open AI models.
