In a significant announcement made during the Datacloud Global Congress 2026 in Cannes, France, DAMAC Digital, a prominent global provider of digital infrastructure owned by DAMAC Group, revealed its ambitious plan to achieve an IT capacity reserve of 6,000 MW, spread across 13 countries. This initiative is part of the company's strategy to cater to the rapidly increasing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital infrastructure worldwide.

Plans for Expansion

Hussain Sajwani, the founder of DAMAC Group, emphasized during the congress that digital infrastructure forms the cornerstone of modern economies, businesses, and governments. He stated, "DAMAC Digital was established to create this foundation for the age of AI and cloud computing." The company aims to achieve an operational capacity of 2 GW by the end of the first quarter of 2028, highlighting its position as one of the fastest-growing companies in the digital infrastructure sector.

Within just five months, DAMAC Digital has begun construction on ten new sites, with projections indicating that eight of these locations will be operational by the end of 2026. Furthermore, the company is targeting an operational capacity exceeding 700 MW across over 14 sites by the first quarter of 2027.

Strategic Partnerships

DAMAC Digital's credibility in the industry is reinforced through partnerships with five global hyperscalers, making it a trusted ally to the world's leading technology firms. The company’s team has expanded significantly, growing to over 600 professionals across three continents, focusing on design, procurement, construction, operations, and support functions.

The company is making advancements into various European markets, including Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and the Nordics, while also expanding in Asia with sites in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. DAMAC Digital has already established operational capabilities in Saudi Arabia and Thailand, demonstrating its commitment to a global presence.

Underpinning Technological Innovation

Founded in 2021, DAMAC Digital arose from Sajwani's conviction that data centers would evolve into one of the most vital classes of infrastructure in the coming decade. The company initiated its journey with a 12 MW campus, progressively building operational excellence to support its ambitious global expansion.

Today, DAMAC Digital is addressing the escalating needs of hyperscalers, cloud service providers, enterprises, and AI-powered workloads. The company’s facilities, equipped with liquid cooling infrastructure, are designed to support the latest generation of AI accelerators, including NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform.

Moreover, DAMAC Digital's global pipeline is crafted to support high-performance computing, cloud growth, national digital transformation, and the increasing demand for sovereign digital infrastructure. Through the DAMAC Group's extensive experience in land acquisition, development, construction, and the execution of large-scale projects, DAMAC Digital can secure strategically advantageous locations, navigate complex permitting and zoning requirements, and rapidly bring capacities to market.

Conclusion

In summary, DAMAC Digital is poised to play a pivotal role in the global digital landscape. With a well-structured approach to expansion and a clear vision for the future, the company is preparing to meet the demands of a digitally-driven world.
