Luxembourg's Gcore and TengriAI join forces on AI cluster of up to 100 MW in Kazakhstan

Luxembourg-headquartered technology company Gcore and Kazakhstan's TengriAI have joined forces to explore a major AI infrastructure initiative in Central Asia: a GPU data centre with a target capacity of up to 100 MW, designed to bring powerful AI computing resources closer to businesses across the region.

The companies announced a memorandum of understanding on 12 November, setting out a framework for the project with potential phased development between 2027 and 2029.

Gcore's technology is central to the proposed partnership. Headquartered in Contern, Luxembourg, the company operates its own GPU cloud infrastructure and holds NVIDIA Preferred Cloud Partner status.

The partnership framework sets out complementary roles: Gcore's AI Cloud Stack, computing-platform operations and customer development; TengriAI's land, power supply, permitting and construction.

The initiative addresses a major challenge for Central Asia: access to local AI computing infrastructure. Many organisations currently rely on resources hosted in Europe, the Gulf or East Asia. The proposed cluster is designed to support regional GPU capacity and keep sensitive computing workloads within the region.

Gcore CEO Andre Reitenbach has emphasised the importance of giving markets greater control over their AI infrastructure. TengriAI General Director Nurassyl Medeu connects the initiative with Kazakhstan's ambition to become a leading AI computing hub in Central Asia.

For Gcore, the partnership represents an opportunity to bring its technology to a large-scale infrastructure project beyond Europe and expand its presence in the growing AI market.

The next step is project evaluation. The MoU does not constitute a final construction decision; no investment amount or specific site has been announced.
