In a move reflecting the growing ambitions of Central Asian nations to become regional tech hubs, Kazakhstan has announced a massive project to build a 'Data Center Valley' in the Pavlodar region. According to reports, the Kazakh government signed a $10 billion agreement with Nvidia and a US-Armenian cloud company to develop this infrastructure. This initiative aims to transform Kazakhstan into a global digital hub and a cognitive economy by 2029 under the 'Digital Qazaqstan' strategy.
This investment comes amid intensifying global competition for AI infrastructure, as Nvidia seeks to strengthen its presence in emerging markets. Compared to peers, market data shows Nvidia maintaining a dominant position over companies like AMD and Intel, which are also vying for government partnerships. Per market data, AMD shares closed at $206.18 while INTC stood at $206.18 (close June 16, 2026).
