Keynote Panel: Beyond the Cloud: Building AI-Ready Infrastructure in the Middle East and beyond
As AI adoption accelerates across the Middle East, the demand for high-performance computing (HPC) is reshaping the data centre landscape. This panel explores how operators, governments, and hyperscalers are responding to the infrastructure, energy, and strategic challenges of building AI-ready facilities at scale. The panel discusses:
-
How are regional energy strategies and sustainability goals influencing the design and operation of HPC environments?
-
What role do partnerships between hyperscalers, governments, and local operators play in scaling AI infrastructure across the region?
- How can the Middle East position itself as a global hub for AI and HPC innovation, and how can we manage the risks in these large scale projects?
-
How can stakeholders ensure long-term ROI while navigating rapid technological change, regulatory pressures, and geopolitical uncertainty?
