During the 2026 Summer Davos Forum, Singaporean AI infrastructure company SuperX reached a project negotiation consensus with Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Ordzhonikidze Beketnov, planning to build an AI computing park with a total capacity of 1 GW in the local area. This cooperation is not just the implementation of a single computing power project, but also the establishment of a cross-border computing power node connecting Europe and Asia, addressing the lack of high-end computing facilities in Kazakhstan, and driving the entire Central Asian digital industry to break through the shackles of talent and high costs. It leverages local energy and geographical advantages to build a global computing power network fulcrum.  

Implement and deploy in stages

Huang Chenhong, a senior executive at SuperX, is optimistic about Kazakhstan's geographical, energy, and foreign investment policy advantages, and has positioned the country as a core fulcrum for the global computing power network. The project will be constructed steadily in three phases, with 200 megawatts of production capacity put into operation in 2027, an additional 300 megawatts of computing power added in 2028, and the remaining 500 megawatts completed in 2029, achieving a total capacity of 1 gigawatt. Both parties have agreed to establish a tripartite joint working group to coordinate matters throughout the entire process, including land, energy, fiscal and taxation, and talent cultivation. The enterprise will reuse the mature overseas data center operation system to shorten the construction period, and will utilize NVIDIA's original factory cooperation qualifications, liquid cooling, high-voltage direct current, and other advanced technologies to ensure the operation of the park. 

Activate the computing power market in Central Asia 

The project, spearheaded by the Kazakhstan Investment Agency, serves as a pivotal initiative for the local region to attract foreign investment and expand its computing power reserves. The Prime Minister has endorsed collaborative feasibility studies between institutions and enterprises. Currently, the cooperation proposal is in the initial communication phase, and both parties will engage in in-depth negotiations to facilitate the implementation of the plan. Keywords: Kazakhstan、AI computing power park

Driven by the demand for data sovereignty and low latency usage, the local data center market has seen sustained growth, emerging as a core computing power market in Central Asia. However, the industry faces significant obstacles, including an insufficient supply of local digital talent and high investment costs for industrial transformation. The completion of the new park can effectively alleviate these two major development bottlenecks and enhance the competitiveness of the regional digital industry.Editor/Min Jing
