According to Bitcoin.com News, Siada and Innovation City announced July 6 the launch of the United Arab Emirates' first fully operational sovereign artificial intelligence data center, offering immediate access to Nvidia B200 Graphics Processing Units and bypassing global waitlists stretching into 2027. The facility, located within Innovation City's free zone in Ras Al Khaimah, aims to address tech supply bottlenecks while ensuring sensitive data remains within UAE borders.
Businesses operating in the free zone can rent computing power hourly, secure long-term capacity, or use managed environments. The data center targets financial technology, gaming, and AI development sectors, with infrastructure designed to comply with emerging Gulf Cooperation Council data residency regulations. Siada plans to expand the network across the UAE and broader Gulf region.
