00:00Kazakhstan has signed 8.6 billion euro worth of agreements with Firebird and NVIDIA.
00:05The deals support plans to develop what could become Central Asia's largest data center hub.
00:09The 1 gigawatt AI infrastructure project is expected to attract nearly 26 billion euro in investment from global technology companies.
00:17Officials say it could help meet growing demand for AI computing capacity.
00:21You keep thinking about the stack of AI, it has a multiplier effect because you're building new capacity for technology,
00:28you're supporting the dreams of technology companies and startups that can start really building things that are cutting edge.
00:36And in terms of the value generated from even 100 megawatts of compute capacity is in the multiple billions of
00:44dollars of impact and revenue.
00:46The planned data center value will be located in Ekibastuz, one of Kazakhstan's main energy hubs.
00:52The region offers abundant electricity at relatively low cost.
00:56Much of that power comes from its vast coal reserves.
00:58Kazakhstan will continue this project given its competitive advantage.
01:04Low energy price, low energy price, access to low latency connectivity, preferential tax regime, data embassy regulation, and one-stop
01:20shop format of executing project in order to avoid red tapes and bureaucracy.
01:28Officials say Kazakhstan's low energy costs and investment incentives make it an attractive location for AI infrastructure.
01:35By exporting computing power and digital services, the country hopes to diversify its economy beyond raw materials.
01:42The project aims to turn Kazakhstan's energy resources into a new source of digital export revenue.
