Bolivian technology company Datec Latam has officially started its operations in El Salvador. This move marks a strategic step to turn the country into a technological hub for Central America, showcasing increasing confidence from foreign enterprises in El Salvador’s improved business and security environment.
Datec Latam, a leading provider of technological solutions since 1999, announced its expansion during an event held on May 24, 2024.
The company offers an extensive array of tech products from industry giants like SAP, Google, IBM, and Cisco, along with its own innovative services related to business management, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data networks, and automation.
Cristian Daher, the founder and CEO of Datec Latam, explained the company’s vision for its new operations in El Salvador.

“We aim to be a strategic ally for Salvadoran companies, helping them become more profitable, agile, and productive while mitigating cybersecurity risks,”
Daher stated
The company’s entrance is particularly noteworthy given their current operations in Costa Rica and Honduras since 2019.
“We are fans of the transformation happening in El Salvador,” Daher added, emphasizing the country’s digital evolution and the supportive fiscal policies introduced by the government.
According to the CEO, El Salvador’s focus on technology and the state’s rapid digitalization efforts were key factors in choosing the country as their new base. Datec Latam has already set up offices managed by local staff, with the ambition to bring its full portfolio of services to the market soon.
“Everything we planned to invest in the region has mostly been redirected to El Salvador. We want to make El Salvador our hub in the region,”
Daher explained.
The official launch event underscored the company’s commitment to fostering collaboration and driving digital transformation for businesses in El Salvador.
“I firmly believe in the potential of El Salvador and its vision for progress and development,” Daher expressed during the event.
He pointed out that Datec’s expansion is geared towards contributing to the country’s growth by leading technological innovation projects that bolster the economic development of Salvadoran enterprises.
What sets El Salvador apart and draws foreign companies like Datec Latam is a combination of enhanced security and forward-thinking government policies designed to incentivize foreign investment, particularly in the technology sector.
The Salvadoran government has implemented various fiscal incentives aimed at attracting tech firms and supporting the nation’s digital infrastructure development. These efforts are paying off as more companies recognize the potential and stability offered by El Salvador.
Datec Latam’s expansion into El Salvador signifies a growing trend of foreign investments driven by the country’s favorable business climate.
This influx is expected to elevate the local technology sector, create job opportunities, and spur economic growth, setting a precedent for future foreign investors looking to tap into the promising Salvadoran market.
