AI Infrastructure
High-density, air-cooled GPU infrastructure designed to NVIDIA reference-architecture standards, with a Tier III-class approach to power, cooling and network redundancy.
San Salvador, El Salvador
Exodo Capital is developing a high-density AI factory in San Salvador, pairing a renewable-focused energy strategy with enterprise-grade reliability, AI-native financial applications and a training institute for regional talent.
About Exodo Capital
Exodo Capital focuses on the foundational layers of the AI economy: energy, infrastructure and applications. We are developing an enterprise AI datacenter in San Salvador designed for the workloads that matter most to businesses and institutions: inference, enterprise AI applications, and sovereign, government and financial-sector computing.
Our mission is to give Central America and Latin America access to world-class AI capacity close to home, to help enterprises move from legacy IT to AI, and to develop the local talent that will run it.
The thesis
Six reasons we believe San Salvador is the right place to build enterprise AI capacity for Central America.
Latin America's datacenter investment is concentrated in the largest markets, with Brazil alone holding over 41%.1 Central America needs AI capacity of its own, close to the customers it serves.
Banks, government institutions and regulated enterprises need AI infrastructure they can audit, located in the region and operated in Spanish, rather than sending sensitive workloads offshore. El Salvador's 2026 national AI strategy prioritizes sovereign compute infrastructure.2
A 2025 AI law created a dedicated national AI agency (ANIA),3 and the government's stated target is for AI to contribute about 20% of GDP by 2031.2
The 2023 Innovation and Technology Manufacturing Law offers qualifying new investments in AI and cloud services 15-year incentives, including income-tax and import-duty exemptions.4
Inference is projected to account for 55% of AI-optimized cloud infrastructure spending in 2026.5 Our application-focused design targets production inference and enterprise AI, not just model training.
Human talent is a core pillar of the national strategy.2 Our training institute develops local operators and engineers, creating a model that can be replicated across Latin America.
What we build
From power to applications, each layer is designed to work with the others.
High-density, air-cooled GPU infrastructure designed to NVIDIA reference-architecture standards, with a Tier III-class approach to power, cooling and network redundancy.
Dedicated capacity for inference, enterprise AI applications and sensitive government and financial-sector workloads, plus a migration path for colocation customers moving from legacy IT to AI.
A renewable-focused, low-cost energy strategy that combines solar with El Salvador's grid, which draws on hydro, geothermal and solar generation.
AI-native financial applications, including Bitcoin-backed lending, custody, remittances and tokenized assets, developed within El Salvador's digital-asset legal framework.
A technology institute offering training and certifications to develop local AI and datacenter talent, from operations to applied AI engineering.
Our facility is designed as a reference point for how the region can attract capital, train local talent and replicate AI infrastructure across Latin America.

Why El Salvador
The U.S. dollar has been El Salvador's official currency since 2001, removing currency risk for U.S.-dollar contracts.6
Renewables produced about 68% of net generation in 2024, led by hydro and geothermal, with fast-growing solar. El Salvador leads Central America in geothermal production.7
The Digital Assets Issuance Law, in force since 2023, created a national regulator (CNAD) for digital-asset issuance and service providers.8
El Salvador runs on UTC−6 year-round, matching U.S. Central Standard Time, which supports nearshore operations and support.9
El Salvador's first subsea cable, an 1,800 km system, was awarded in December 2025 and is scheduled to be operational in the second half of 2028.10

Approach & technology
We build around the workloads customers actually run, and we integrate every layer of the stack.
Compute, networking and storage designed to NVIDIA reference-architecture standards, so the platform can scale with proven configurations.
An air-cooled, high-density design suited to inference and enterprise AI, with an efficient path to deployment.
Concurrently maintainable power and cooling design principles for enterprise and mission-critical workloads.
Colocation and hybrid options for organizations moving from legacy infrastructure to AI at their own pace.
In-country capacity for government and financial-sector customers that need control over where their data lives.
A pilot-to-scale roadmap: start with a focused deployment in San Salvador, then expand regionally.
Investors & partners
We welcome conversations with enterprise customers, technology and energy partners, and investors interested in AI infrastructure in Central America and Latin America.
