DATA CENTRE STRATEGY development and operations,” confirms Tarun.“ We are committed to integrating renewable energy sources and deploying energy-efficient technologies to minimise environmental impact.” The company’ s Adiabatic Cooling System implementation in Riyadh demonstrates tangible results, reducing ambient temperature around air-cooled chillers from 48 ° C to below 37 ° C year-round and achieving 21 % energy consumption reduction while optimising water usage efficiency to 0.3 through effective recirculation.
New DAMAC Digital facilities incorporate High-Performance Computing and AI capabilities from initial design phases.“ Our new data centres are set to play a pivotal role in supporting HPC and AI-driven applications across the EMEA region,” explains Tarun.

“ By providing high-density computing environments, enhanced by energyefficient cooling systems and robust direct-connect networking capabilities, these facilities are equipped to handle the intense workloads that HPC and AI require.”
M & A activity set to continue through 2025-2026 Current M & A activity represents structural industry change rather than cyclical growth, with AI demand, private equity capital and power constraints favouring consolidation over organic development.
The technology sector supports continued data centre consolidation, according to PwC’ s 2025 mid-year TMT M & A outlook.
“ Many of the themes we outlined in our 2025 outlook – such as software, big tech capital expenditures, telecom portfolio optimisation, proliferation of new media channels, focus on data centres and, of course, beneficiaries of the AI boom( such as semiconductors) – are expected to continue to drive M & A over the remainder of the year,” note authors Barry Jaber and Bart Spiegel.“ While geopolitical uncertainty and the unknown trajectory of tariffs and protectionist trade policies have the potential to restrict the flow of deals, savvy dealmakers should approach the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 with a disciplined but opportunistic mindset to capitalise on M & A opportunities.”
