Fermaca becomes Mexico's first NVIDIA Cloud Partner, unveils AI factory

A phased rollout starting in Mexico City

The platform begins with Fermaca Digital Origins in Mexico City. According to Fermaca, the phased rollout combines its infrastructure development and operating experience with the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, with the goal of widening access to the computing capacity that businesses and institutions need to build and deploy AI.

Digital Origins is the first deployment on the platform and starts with an initial NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra cluster. A later deployment roadmap incorporates NVIDIA Vera Rubin. Marcio Aguiar, director of enterprise for Latin America at NVIDIA, said Fermaca is building an AI factory powered by NVIDIA B300 NVL72 systems to help enterprises across Mexico and Latin America develop and deploy AI using their own data.

Inventec is providing compute systems and DDN is providing storage, while Fermaca is responsible for infrastructure development and operations.

From gas molecule to token

Fermaca describes its strategy as running "from gas molecule to token." The approach links the group's gas infrastructure and energy development with fiber connectivity, AI facilities and accelerated computing. According to the company, this integrated model is meant to address the infrastructure constraints that decide where AI can be built and how far it can scale.

Fermaca also frames the project in terms of digital sovereignty. The company says building capacity to develop and deploy AI on infrastructure located in Mexico can help Mexican businesses, universities and institutions address national priorities and retain more of the knowledge and economic value that AI creates.

Manuel Calvillo said Fermaca is investing in Mexico's capacity "to produce intelligence, create economic value and shape its own technological future." Paul Bloch, co-founder of DDN, said the vision creates a significant opportunity for Mexico to become a producer of AI at scale and serve customers across Latin America.

Capacity targets and government backing

Fermaca's near-term plan targets 60 MW of total facility power supporting operational AI facilities by December 31, 2027. That figure includes computing, cooling and supporting facility systems.

A longer-term project, Fermaca Digital City in Durango, represents an ambition of up to 1 GW of IT capacity, a measure that covers computing equipment only. The company stresses that these are separate development milestones, with deployment phased as the platform expands.

Fermaca says it has received the full support of Mexican government authorities at the federal, state and municipal levels. It links the effort to the national development objectives of Plan México.

Education and what it means for customers

Alongside the infrastructure, Fermaca and NVIDIA continue to develop "México Aprende IA con Fermaca y NVIDIA," an education initiative that started in Durango. It is designed to equip university teachers with AI knowledge, teaching resources and practical training for their classrooms.

For customers, the platform is designed to connect regional enterprises with NVIDIA AI infrastructure located in Mexico. According to Fermaca, companies can use the capacity to develop models around their own data and bring AI into operations, while developers and research institutions gain a base for new applications. The company adds that the rollout gives NVIDIA and its ecosystem a new route to serve Mexican and Latin American demand as local AI adoption grows.
