MENA's next growth frontiers
This episode is available to stream on-demand.
Over the past few years, we have seen UAE and Saudi Arabia dominate the conversation around data centers in MENA. However, the MENA region is witnessing a transformative shift as emerging markets are positioning themselves as future data center hubs, particularly in the age of AI. While announcements are starting to emerge from Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt and many others, what is leading to this and could we see a shift in the market in the years to come? This episode will cover the following:
- How emerging players are positioning themselves alongside Saudi Arabia and the UAE
- The role of policies, state-backed initiatives, and private investment on emerging markets
- How local consumer needs are shaping digital infrastructure strategies
- Key factors driving investment growth and sustainability in these regions
