Saudi National Infrastructure Fund는 HUMAIN과 총 25억 사우디리얄(약 6억 6,700만 달러) 규모의 금융 약정 2건을 체결했다.

The National Infrastructure Fund has signed two financing agreements with HUMAIN totaling SAR 2.5 billion (about $667 million) to support computing capacity and develop the critical energy infrastructure for AI data centers in the Kingdom.

The signing took place in Riyadh in the presence of Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of the Public Investment Fund; Faisal Alibrahim, minister of economy and planning and chairman of the National Infrastructure Fund; and Abdulaziz Al-Arefi, governor of the National Development Fund.

The first agreement, worth SAR 1.1 billion ($293.3 million), will finance graphics processing units (GPUs), covering the purchase and supply of GPUs providing roughly 25 megawatts of IT capacity. The second, worth SAR 1.4 billion ($373.3 million), will finance energy infrastructure development, including the construction of substations, power transmission cables, and the facilities needed to connect data centers to the electricity grid.

The agreements are the first under the National Infrastructure Fund's AI data center financing program and form the first phase of a framework agreement announced at Davos in early 2026. That framework has a target value of SAR 4.5 billion ($1.2 billion).

The data center infrastructure is designed to allow future expansion to computing capacity of up to 1 gigawatt, creating an environment well suited to attracting investment in hyperscale data centers and AI.

Eng. Tarek Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, said: "AI infrastructure has become a cornerstone of the next generation of computing technologies and requires massive investment to accelerate innovation and expansion."

He added that the partnership will help accelerate the delivery of advanced computing and the development of energy infrastructure, with a focus on solutions and platforms that enable organizations to deploy AI technologies.
