Key Topics

Join the Event & Learn from our thought leadership sessions on trends and technology relevant to the Saudi Data Center Industry

Saudi Vision 2030

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is shaping the future of data centers in the Middle East. Cloud First policies and giga-projects like NEOM are driving digital growth, offering a blueprint other nations can learn from to build resilient, digital-first economies.

AI Hyperscale Expansion

Global hyperscalers like Microsoft, AWS, and Google are expanding in the Kingdom as demand for cloud computing and AI accelerates. This momentum aligns with government AI initiatives, including the $100 billion Transcendence Initiative, driving demand for specialized high-performance data centers.

Strategic Location & Connectivity

Positioned between Europe, Asia, and Africa, Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in fiber-optic networks to strengthen connectivity. This propels the Kingdom’s ambition to become a critical hub for data traffic and digital innovation at one of the world’s most important crossroads.

Sustainability and Climate

Saudi Arabia's extreme heat drives a strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, and data centers are increasingly adopting advanced cooling systems and renewable energy, including solar, to reduce operational costs and support future environmental goals.

"More than 1,000 people registered and attended the event today, including data center operators, vendors, consultants, and others from across the industry. It’s a great success again this year here in Riyadh, and I’m looking forward to being here again next year. The region is rapidly becoming a major data center hub in the Middle East and the GCC in particular"
