Saudi AI firms Humain, DataVolt partner for data center on kingdom's Red Sea coast

Saudi Arabia-backed AI company Humain has partnered with digital infrastructure firm DataVolt to develop a data center at Oxagon, an industrial city being built in NEOM along the Red Sea coast. The first phase of the project, expected to be completed by 2028, will include 100 megawatts of capacity and integrate renewable energy, advanced cooling systems, and high-performance computing. This initiative is part of a larger 360 MW first phase of DataVolt’s AI data center campus, which aims to reach 1.5 gigawatts overall. The project benefits from Oxagon’s pre-zoned industrial land, energy resources, and subsea cable connectivity. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations are expanding their AI capabilities to meet rising global demand for computing power. Humain, supported by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, aims to achieve 6 gigawatts of capacity by 2034. Meanwhile, NEOM, originally envisioned as a futuristic urban project, has faced delays due to cost overruns and lower oil prices.
