Growth in the MENA region is exponential, projected to reach $8 billion by 2028, driven by the rollout of cloud computing, 5G, and computational intelligence. However, it is the construction sector that must facilitate this growth.

Efficient design methods and modularization are increasingly vital for overcoming supply chain hurdles. Sustainable construction practices that incorporate renewable energy and improve water usage efficiency (WUE) are equally important. As inflation affects construction costs and energy prices, the need for innovative, flexible solutions becomes paramount.

How do region-specific data center hotspots influence the construction sector, and are they creating bottlenecks for materials and labor? Can the Middle East align hyperscale builds with sustainability targets? Join us to explore how organizations can navigate these complexities to build resilient and adaptive infrastructure.

  • Extreme Demand: The MENA data center market is rapidly expanding, fueled by cloud services, AI, and 5G technology.
  • Today’s Success: Modular construction versus unique designs amid supply chain and sustainability challenges.
  • Bottlenecks: Strategies to manage rising costs, workforce shortages, and client demands.
