Gcore and TengriAI have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore building a GPU data center in Kazakhstan. The project aims for up to 100 MW of AI compute capacity, rolled out in phases from 2027 to 2029. TengriAI will handle land, power, permits and construction, while Gcore will supply the AI cloud stack and operate the service. The facility would let regional customers run AI workloads locally, avoiding reliance on Europe or East Asia.

## The facts

- Target capacity: up to 100 MW
- Phased rollout planned for 2027‑2029

## Why it matters

Local AI compute could lower latency and regulatory risk for businesses in Central Asia.
