stc group<\/a>, through its dedicated digital infrastructure subsidiary center3, and HUMAIN<\/a>, a PIF company delivering full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities, have announced a strategic Joint Venture (JV) partnership to build AI data centers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to a press release issued by the stc today, this collaboration will develop and operate next-generation infrastructure capable of hosting up to 1 GW of AI workloads. The JV brings together center3\u2019s scale, data-center leadership, and extensive regional connectivity with HUMAIN\u2019s strategic mandate to champion end-to-end capabilities – laying the groundwork for high-capacity, low-latency infrastructure critical to the AI era.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

CEO of stc group Olayan Alwetaid<\/strong> remarked: \u201cThis joint venture with HUMAIN reinforces our commitment to enabling the region\u2019s digital future. By combining HUMAIN\u2019s AI leadership with center3\u2019s world-class data-center expertise, we are creating the right foundation to strengthen the region\u2019s capacity to host next-generation AI workloads.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

CEO of HUMAIN Tareq Amin<\/strong> said: \u201cAI at scale requires purpose-built compute, efficiency, and resilience. Through this joint venture, HUMAIN and stc group are engineering infrastructure capable of meeting the most demanding workloads while designed to support future advancements.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

CEO of center3 Fahad AlHajeri<\/strong> said: \u201cOur role in this partnership is to turn vision into capacity. Leveraging our expanding data-center footprint, interconnected platforms, and proven operations, we will deliver the density, resilience, and availability required for next-generation AI computing. This JV marks an important step in scaling the infrastructure foundation to meet surging regional market demand.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This strategic alliance supports the high-performance hosting of critical digital assets, fosters the AI ecosystem, and creates a robust platform for the deployment of large language models (LLMs) and mission-critical AI applications.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
