Saudi Arabia’s Neom Signs Deal with Datavolt to Build $5bn Data Centre in Oxagon
Data centers aren’t just about scale...
Sustainability and strategic positioning are now the real differentiators.
NEOM’s $5 billion partnership with DataVolt to build a cutting-edge data center in Oxagon marks a bold step toward a future where #AI, computing, and renewable energy seamlessly converge.
This facility’s 1.5 GW capacity, powered entirely by wind and solar, challenges the conventional trade-off between digital expansion and environmental impact.
At the heart of this transformation is the synergy between Neom’s futuristic infrastructure vision and DataVolt’s expertise in high-density, energy-efficient computing.
Through a strategic land lease and robust infrastructure support, Oxagon is providing the foundation for a data hub that aligns with #SaudiArabia’s ambitious economic and sustainability goals.
By capitalizing on Neom’s abundant renewable resources, this project redefines what’s possible for large-scale AI infrastructure in emerging markets.
Unlike traditional data centers in legacy hubs that struggle with energy constraints, this initiative turns sustainability into a competitive advantage from day one.
In developed markets, regulatory stability and existing frameworks dictate expansion, while in emerging regions like Neom, rapid technological adoption and greenfield opportunities drive innovation at scale.
This shift underscores how emerging markets can leapfrog outdated models, setting new global benchmarks for digital infrastructure.
As AI adoption accelerates and data demand skyrockets, the future belongs to facilities that merge computing power with sustainability.
Neom’s strategic bet on renewable-driven AI infrastructure positions Saudi Arabia not just as a regional leader—but as a blueprint for the next era of data center evolution.
