Brookfield's Investment Plans: Brookfield Asset Management is seeking a minority partner to fund the expansion of Ascenty, a major data center operator in Latin America, as Brazil's data center market is projected to grow significantly over the next decade.
Brazil's Data Center Market Potential: With fewer than 200 facilities, Brazil ranks among the top 15 global markets for data centers, and demand is expected to surge due to energy constraints in other regions, leading to potential investments exceeding $10 billion.
