Khazna Data Centers (Khazna), a global leader in hyperscale digital infrastructure, has announced a new collaboration with NVIDIA. The partnership aims to build AI factories across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.
This move aligns with the rising demand for AI infrastructure globally. It follows the high-profile visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to the UAE. During the visit, a 5GW UAE-US AI campus was announced, marking a significant step in regional tech development.
Khazna revealed that NVIDIA has certified the design of its next-generation facilities. These will support the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. All upcoming and ongoing Khazna infrastructure will feature NVIDIA-ready blueprints as standard. This ensures full compatibility with GPU-accelerated workloads.
The company reported that most of its future data halls will offer capacities of up to 50MW. It plans to develop individual AI clusters with capacities reaching 250MW. Many of these halls will be located within the planned UAE-US AI campus.
The project positions the UAE as a major hub for advanced AI infrastructure.
Khazna is also rapidly expanding its footprint across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The company has announced plans to scale up to 1GW of capacity in key countries, including France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Türkiye, and Kenya.
Hassan Alnaqbi, CEO of Khazna Data Centers, stated:
'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.'
The collaboration underscores the deepening ties between the region and leading U.S. tech firms. It also highlights Khazna Data's ongoing role in shaping the future of digital infrastructure.
