Hitachi Digital plans to invest US$300 million in Latin America over the next two years, targeting expansion across strategic markets including Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru.
Argentina will concentrate 75% of the investment, supporting the company’s regional growth strategy. The announcement was made from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the only Hitachi Digital Demo Zone in the American continent operates.
The investment follows the integration of GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services under a single structure, combining more than 35,000 professionals across 27 countries and a portfolio exceeding 880 clients.
The new organization brings together GlobalLogic’s digital engineering and product development capabilities, Hitachi Digital Services’ expertise in business systems and operations and the Hitachi Group’s industrial knowledge across energy, mobility and manufacturing.
This combination enables organizations to manage their transformation processes, from strategy development and new digital solutions to systems modernization and the operation of critical platforms.
Companies are increasingly incorporating artificial intelligence into business processes, creating demand for technology partners capable of developing new applications, modernizing existing infrastructure and maintaining operational continuity.
Hitachi Digital plans to increase its regional turnover from approximately US$120 million to US$350 million within two years, supported by its US$300 million investment programme.
Colombia represents an important market, particularly in financial services and telecommunications, where organizations are accelerating digitalization and adopting artificial intelligence.
According to Asobancaria, investment by Colombia’s banking sector in Digital Transformation, innovation and cybersecurity increased 9%, from COP3.3 trillion in 2024 to COP3.6 trillion in 2025. Additionally, 86.8% of affiliated institutions already use generative artificial intelligence.
Telecommunications companies are also preparing to increase investment in AI. According to a study by the Communications Regulatory Commission, companies in the sector plan to multiply their AI investment twelvefold between 2026 and 2030.
These developments present opportunities for Hitachi Digital as organizations seek to integrate AI capabilities into existing systems without compromising security, reliability or operational continuity.
The company aims to support Colombian businesses through AI adoption and technological modernization, particularly in industries where uninterrupted operations are essential.
Alongside its investment programme, Hitachi Digital plans to expand its regional workforce from 1,700 to 4,500 professionals, reflecting increasing demand for digital engineering, cloud infrastructure and enterprise AI solutions.
Colombia’s skilled technology workforce and its time zone proximity to North American customers are also considered strategic advantages as AI accelerates development cycles and increases demand for specialized expertise.
Hitachi Digital’s portfolio includes cloud, data and AI solutions for mission-critical industries. Its capabilities extend across digital banking, fraud prevention, mining, energy infrastructure, Physical AI, telecommunications network modernization and media platforms.
In telecommunications, the company supports modernization of 5G networks and services, while its industrial applications include network modernization and advanced AI capabilities.
The company intends to provide Latin American organizations with access to the same technologies and solutions available in the United States and Europe.
Its regional expansion reflects a long-term commitment to developing enterprise technology capabilities, supporting Digital Transformation and strengthening Latin America’s position within the global digital services market.
