Gcore

Luxembourg – November 12, 2026 -- Gcore and TengriAI have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a GPU data center in Kazakhstan with a target capacity of up to 100 MW, phased between 2027 and 2029.

Central Asia's thin AI compute base forces reliance on foreign capacity

Central Asia has little domestic AI compute, so organizations depend on capacity in Europe, the Gulf or East Asia, often outside regulatory jurisdiction. Gcore CEO Andre Reitenbach framed the project as a response to a question every market asks: "how do we run AI on our own terms?" The facility would put large-scale GPU infrastructure in the country, operated from the country, for customers across the region.
