MIS and HUMAIN Expand Saudi AI Data Center Project Capacity to 250 MW

By: IDCNOVARegion: Middle East
Saudi IT services company Al Moammar Information Systems Co. (MIS) has signed an agreement with Public Investment Fund-owned AI company HUMAIN to significantly expand the scope of its data center design and construction project dedicated to artificial intelligence technologies, the company announced in a disclosure on the Saudi stock exchange Tadawul.

The agreement raises the planned capacity of the AI-focused data center from 50 megawatts to 250 megawatts, a fivefold increase that underscores the growing scale of AI infrastructure investment in the Kingdom. The total value of the expanded contract exceeds 689% of MIS's total revenue for 2025, inclusive of value-added tax, according to the disclosure.

Under the terms of the agreement, engineering, procurement, and construction works will be carried out through successive work orders issued by HUMAIN. MIS said it expects the agreement to have a positive financial impact from the date it receives the relevant work orders, and will disclose each work order — including its value, execution period, and associated financial impact — upon receipt in accordance with applicable regulations.

The agreement replaces a contract originally announced on Tadawul on March 5, 2026. MIS stated that the replacement does not affect the value, progress, or financial impact of the previous contract, which began contributing positively to its financial results in the second quarter of 2026.

The expansion reflects the broader push by Saudi Arabia to establish itself as a regional hub for AI computing infrastructure, aligned with the objectives of Vision 2030. HUMAIN, established by the Public Investment Fund, has been tasked with developing the Kingdom's AI capabilities, including large-scale data center capacity, to support both domestic demand and regional AI workloads. The scaling of this project from 50 MW to 250 MW signals the accelerating pace of AI infrastructure buildout across the Middle East, where several countries are competing to attract hyperscale and AI-focused data center investment.
