The Middle East data center industry is thriving, particularly in the UAE, where ‪@khaznadatacenters6718‬ leads with significant contracts and the largest network of data centers in the region. Recently, GAIIP was formed to raise $100 billion for data centers and infrastructure, with NVIDIA providing AI expertise.
Khazna focuses on building data centers addressing AI's high computing demands and cooling challenges. Their expansion strategy targets underserved markets, with plans to reach 4 billion people in countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Kenya. They emphasize clean energy, exploring geothermal solutions and navigating energy transitions.
Khazna aims to capitalize on the AI boom in the Middle East by developing facilities with high power capacities. The UAE leads in operational capacity, with strong growth expectations, while Saudi Arabia is still developing its infrastructure.
Key insights from a recent session ‪@PlatformMarkets‬ on Middle Eastern data centers highlight the region's growing capacity, the importance of power availability for AI, and the need for collaboration with local stakeholders.
