HUMAIN, a global artificial intelligence company based in Saudi Arabia building end-to-end AI capabilities, and AirTrunk have agreed to establish a strategic partnership to build data centers in the kingdom. The initial project involves an approximately $3 billion investment for a data center campus in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership combines HUMAIN’s trusted reputation as the national artificial-intelligence (AI) champion with AirTrunk’s proven track record and operational expertise with key cloud and AI customers to advance Saudi Arabia’s vision to become a global innovation hub.
HUMAIN is owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and AirTrunk is backed by Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager, and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
“Together with AirTrunk and Blackstone, HUMAIN is strengthening the technological infrastructure that underpins the kingdom’s digital economy,” said Tareq
