Kazakhstan Data Center Valley Attracts Firebird and NVIDIA Partnership

U.S.-based cloud and infrastructure company Firebird will participate in building Kazakhstan's planned 'data center valley' in Pavlodar Region. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov announced that a 125-megawatt data center in Ekibastuz will launch in the first half of next year, with another identical facility by 2028. Firebird, whose main partner is NVIDIA, plans to invest about $10 billion in the project. The government aims to strengthen digital sovereignty and create export revenue from computing power. Kazakhstan has also secured agreements with Singapore's GK Hyperscale and China's SuperX AI Technology for additional data centers.
