Khazna & NVIDIA Build AI Infrastructure in MEA Region
Khazna Data Centers, a global leader in hyperscale digital infrastructure, has announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to develop AI factories across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, as reported by Zawya. This partnership aligns with the growing demand for AI infrastructure and marks another significant step in the region’s drive to become a leading hub for AI and digital innovation.
The collaboration follows the high-profile visit of US President Donald Trump to the UAE and the announcement of a 5GW UAE-US AI campus, further strengthening the ties between the region and U.S. technology leaders.
NVIDIA-Ready Facilities for AI Workloads
As part of the partnership, NVIDIA has certified the design of Khazna’s next-generation data centers to support the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. These facilities will be designed with NVIDIA-ready blueprints as standard, ensuring full compatibility with the latest GPU-accelerated workloads for AI and high-performance computing.
Khazna plans to design most of its future data halls with capacities of up to 50MW, and will develop individual AI clusters capable of handling up to 250MW. Many of these facilities will be located within the UAE-US AI campus, positioning the UAE among the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure hubs.
