DAVOS, Switzerland 

In a major move at the World Economic Forum, PIF-backed Humain and the National Infrastructure Fund (Infra) have signed a non-binding framework agreement to finance $1.2 billion for the development of 250MW of hyperscale AI data center capacity in Saudi Arabia.

The partnership aims to address the surging global demand for advanced compute by deploying cutting-edge GPUs optimized for AI training and inference.

Key Takeaways:

• Infrastructure Growth: The $1.2 billion package will fund 250MW of hyperscale space, supporting Humain's long-term goal of reaching 6.6GW of capacity over the next decade.

• Investment Platform: The two entities are exploring the creation of a dedicated AI data center investment platform designed to attract both local and global institutional investors.

• Strategic Tech Stack: These facilities will house Humain’s growing hardware arsenal, which includes thousands of Nvidia GB300 chips, Groq inference chips, and ongoing collaborations with AWS, AMD, and Cisco.

• Economic Impact: The agreement is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s digital economy strategy, positioning the Kingdom as a high-speed hub for complex enterprise compute needs.

"This agreement positions Humain to respond with speed and scale. Our goal is to deliver world-class AI data center infrastructure that enterprises can rely on as their compute needs grow more complex." — Tareq Amin, CEO of Humain

This financing follows a string of massive global partnerships for Humain, including a 500MW project with Elon Musk’s xAI and a $5 billion ‘AI Zone’ with AWS, cementing the firm's role as a primary driver of Saudi Arabia’s AI ambitions.
