Gulf Data Center Growth Led by UAE
Gulf countries, particularly the UAE, continue to expand data centers and artificial intelligence initiatives despite geopolitical tensions, with investments amounting to billions of dollars and supportive government policies. The region's market is becoming a hub for attracting specialized talent and hosting large-scale projects such as the "Stargate UAE" center, which is nearing the completion of its first phase with a capacity of 200 MW. Companies like PricewaterhouseCoopers anticipate that data center capacity will quadruple over the next five years to reach around 4 gigawatts. The region's success is driven by low energy and land costs, backed by sovereign funds, with "MGX" raising $50 billion for AI investments. The UAE plans to deploy AI models across half of its government services and is strengthening protections for digital investments despite security challenges resulting from regional tensions.
