Kazakhstan is leading this charge, with data centre capacity reaching hyperscale level, from approximately 4,000 IT racks in 2025, to 20,000 racks by 2030, comprising 180-plus MW capacity.This massive AI compute and digital infrastructure buildout means tech leaders worldwide view Kazakhstan as a strategic base for cross-border investments, amplified at GITEX AI Kazakhstan 2026 by the participation of global tech enterprises from China, Germany, the USA, Türkiye, the UK, and the UAE, France, and India.Infrastructure leaders including Cisco, Cloudflare, Dell, Google Cloud, H3C Technologies, Trend Micro, Hikvision, HP, Huawei, Lenovo, Noventiq, Redington, Salesforce, Vertiv, and Yandex, are among the headline participants this year.
