Nvidia partners with Qatari telecom provider Ooredoo to bring advanced AI technology to the Middle East, marking a significant expansion amid US export restrictions.
Nvidia has reportedly struck a deal to deploy its artificial intelligence (AI) technology in Qatari-owned data centers located in multiple countries across the Middle East.
In a June 24 Reuters report, the CEO of Qatari telecom group Ooredoo Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo said that the deal will make the company the first in the region to open the doors for its clients to gain direct access to Nvidia’s AI and graphics technology.
The telecom company has clients in Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait and the Maldives. Fakhroo said the agreement allows these clients access “that probably their competitors (won’t have) for another 18 to 24 months.”
