UAE-headquartered digital infrastructure company Khazna Data Centres has announced plans to collaborate with multinational corporation and technology company Nvidia to build artificial intelligence (AI) factories in the Middle East Africa (MEA) region.
Through this collaboration, Nvidia has certified the design of Khazna’s next-generation facilities to support the Nvidia Blackwell architecture, an architecture that, says Nvidia, “defines the next chapter in generative AI with unparalleled performance, efficiency and scale”.
Khazna says its ongoing and upcoming infrastructure developments will feature Nvidia-ready blueprints as standard, ensuring full compatibility with the latest GPU-accelerated workloads.
Khazna adds that it will design the majority of its future data halls with capacities of up to 50MW, developing individual AI clusters of up to 250MW. With many of these data halls situated in the massive, and as yet unbuilt, UAE-US AI campus, which is to be located in Abu Dhabi, this will place the UAE among the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure hubs.
Khazna is also expanding rapidly across the Middle East, Africa and Europe, with plans to scale up to 1GW of capacity in countries such as France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Kenya.
Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centres, says: “The world is entering a new era of AI-driven innovation, and the UAE is uniquely positioned to lead. Our work with Nvidia represents a bold step forward in delivering high-performance, future-ready infrastructure at unprecedented scale. It reinforces our support for the UAE’s ambitions to become a global AI leader.”
