It will be operated by American companies and supported by Emirati firms G42 and MGX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The initiative includes collaborations with major tech companies such as Nvidia, OpenAI, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft. These partnerships aim to position the Gulf region as a global leader in AI development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">That positioning is already underway. Roxtec, based in the Jebel Ali Freezone, has revealed it is currently in discussions with several companies looking to develop and build the next generation of HPC (High-Performance Computing) Data centres, designed to handle intensive AI and Big Data workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">Roxtec is the global leader in the manufacture of innovative cable and pipe transit systems. It provides specialized seals for cable and pipe penetrations that secure data centres against fire, water ingress and air leakage and protect against electromagnetic interferences that can create outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The sector now represents more than 25 per cent of its infrastructure business unit sales with a potential to reach 50 per cent in the next 18 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">Roxtec is currently active on projects in the Gulf states of UAE, Qatar and Oman, including new build centers and refit and refurbishment work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">The high energy efficiency needs of ever-larger centers which house the supercomputers that run AI systems and the climate change and environmental challenges being faced across the region are increasing the demand for resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">A shift towards modular construction is also helping Roxtec\u2019s growth and scale-up plans as a valuable part of the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">To cater to the growing needs of the market Roxtec is launching two new products for the Middle East market, FlamePlus\u2122 which offers sealing system addressing the shift toward modular and prefabricated builds, while the Roxtec Software Suite\u2122&nbsp; offers a digital lifecycle management platform for cable and pipe transits. In addition Roxtec has confirmed appointment of dedicated manager in Abu Dhabi for its data center operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle East\u2019s rapid
