Kazakhstan signed agreements with U.S. startup Firebird Inc. to develop a Data Center Valley. The project aims to attract up to $10 billion in total investment. This initiative establishes the nation as a regional hub for artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure.
The project will be executed in two $5 billion phases. State-run Kazakhtelecom is contributing $1 billion to the initial phase.
Nvidia will support the project through design assistance and the supply of advanced graphics processing units (GPUs). The plan includes a computing cluster powered by 100,000 next-generation Nvidia chips. This hardware includes the GB300 and Vera Rubin systems. Commercial operations are expected to begin in 2027.
