Welcome to the Tahawultech Datacenter 360 Summit.
In a world that is now defined by intelligence, infrastructure is no longer silent.
The UAE has made no secret of its ambitions to become a global leader in AI, and that was further evidenced following the announcement of its UAE Stargate Project.
Event Objectives:
Our Datacenter 360 Summit has been specifically designed to examine all the challenges and opportunities around AI datacenter investments and projects in both the UAE and KSA.
The event objective is to better understand strategic national AI infrastructure goals in the UAE and Saudi Arabia — and look closely at how each country is leveraging large-scale datacenter investments to anchor broader economic transformation and digital leadership.
Some of the talking points that we will tackle head on will include:

What will be the impact of the UAE’s Stargate AI datacenter initiative in Abu Dhabi — a 1 GW AI compute cluster (within a planned 5 GW campus) developed with G42, OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco, and SoftBank that will enable frontier-scale AI workloads and sovereign AI capacity.
Examine how Stargate UAE advances sovereign compute sovereignty and partnerships with global tech firms, while balancing geopolitical and security considerations around advanced chip access and regulation.
Explore the Hexagon Project in Saudi Arabia — a government-led, Tier IV certified, 480 MW datacenter in Riyadh, designed to host 290+ critical systems and accelerate national AI, data and digital services.
Analyse infrastructure resilience and standards, including energy efficiency, sustainability (LEED Gold), international certification, and high availability (99.995% uptime) critical for AI and mission-critical workloads.
Compare deployment models — UAE’s mixed public-private, globally partnered ecosystem versus Saudi Arabia’s sovereign, government-anchored strategy — and implications for scalability, governance, and market participation.
Discuss energy, sustainability, and resource challenges posed by high-density AI datacenters in the Gulf climate, including cooling, power sourcing, and environmental impact mitigation.
