-- It was announced today that Arabian Gulf Investment Holdings (AGI) and DanaCloud have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), establishing a framework for collaboration on the development and enablement of next-generation, AI-ready modular data center and cloud infrastructure projects across the region.
The MoU was signed by H.E. Dr. Khalifa Saif Juma Saif Al Mehairbi, Chairman of AGI and Mohamad Bahaedin, CEO of DanaCloud.
Under the agreement, DanaCloud will be responsible for the design, build, and operating of advanced data center and cloud infrastructure projects, as well as their end-to-end enablement through its flagship cloud platform, DanaIX. DanaIX delivers a unified, production-ready environment covering the full stack—from physical infrastructure and AI-ready modular data centers to cloud management, control panels, and enterprise-grade IaaS, PaaS and SaaS services—ensuring clients receive fully operational solutions from infrastructure through to application and platform layers.
AGI, as a well-established and forward-thinking Emirati investment group, will play a strategic enabling role in the collaboration, supporting projects through investment alignment, strategic structuring, and regional market enablement. AGI’s institutional strength, long-term vision, and leadership in the region will be instrumental in advancing scalable, resilient, and sustainable digital infrastructure initiatives.
As part of the collaboration, the parties will explore AI-ready modular data center and cloud infrastructure projects with a potential aggregate investment scope of up to USD 50 million.
The partnership comes at a time of rapidly accelerating demand for AI compute and GPU-dense infrastructure, coupled with limited availability of suitable data center space and power. Governments and enterprises worldwide are investing heavily in artificial intelligence capabilities, yet the shortage of AI-ready facilities has become a critical bottleneck. Modular data center architectures, combined with tightly integrated cloud platforms, are increasingly recognized as the fastest and most efficient path to unlocking scalable AI capacity.
By combining DanaCloud’s technical execution, AI-ready modular data center expertise, and unified cloud platform capabilities with AGI’s strategic leadership and regional enablement, the collaboration aims to deliver future-ready cloud and AI infrastructure that is operational from day one, scalable by design, and deployable at speed.
H.E. Dr. Khalifa Saif Juma Saif Al Mehairbi, Chairman of AGI, stated: "At AGI, our commitment lies in backing strategic initiatives that foster long-term economic resilience and establish technological leadership. AI-ready data centers and cutting-edge cloud platforms are emerging as essential infrastructure for the region's digital future. We take pride in partnering with DanaCloud on projects that promise to provide scalable, sustainable, and globally competitive infrastructure in alignment with regional priorities."
Mohamad Bahaedin, CEO of DanaCloud, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with Arabian Gulf Investment Holdings (AGI). “We are privileged to work alongside AGI, whose strategic vision, institutional strength, and regional leadership perfectly complement DanaCloud’s extensive technical expertise—from AI-ready modular data center design to a comprehensive unified cloud platform via DanaIX. Together, we are committed to providing fully optimized infrastructure that empowers governments and enterprises to swiftly and confidently embrace cutting-edge cloud and AI technologies.”
Karl Simon, CEO of AGI, emphasized: “This Memorandum of Understanding underscores a robust strategic partnership between AGI and DanaCloud. While DanaCloud brings execution proficiency and platform capabilities, AGI enhances these initiatives with strategic insights and long-term vision. Together, we are building a solid foundation for scalable and sustainable AI and cloud infrastructure throughout the region.”
The MoU creates a collaborative ecosystem for identifying, assessing, and advancing projects that incorporate AI-ready modular data centers, cloud platforms, and strategic investments—positioning both organizations as leaders in the fast-evolving AI and cloud infrastructure landscape.
