Still Doubling down on AI. Despite disruptions, Saudi Arabia is pushing forward aggressively:
Over $20+ billion in AI and data center investment underway

AWS investing $5.3B in Saudi cloud infrastructure
Google, Oracle, and global hyperscalers expanding regional capacity
Saudi AI firm Humain deploying thousands of NVIDIA AI chips for new data centers

UAE is accelerating AI and data center expansion across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with hyperscalers investing billions. However, rising demand for GPUs, networking hardware, and power infrastructure is causing delays, supply shortages, and increased costs—making connectivity and delivery speed critical for project execution.

Qatar’s oil and LNG infrastructure disruptions are exposing critical risks to telecom and supply chains, while the country accelerates investment in fiber, subsea cables, and alternative data routes to improve resilience. New terrestrial and submarine networks aim to bypass high-risk zones and secure global connectivity.
