In Morocco, the Nexus AI Factory project near Casablanca involves a $1.2 billion investment to establish a facility with a planned capacity of up to 500 megawatts. This project will utilize NVIDIA Blackwell technology and renewable energy from TAQA Morocco to support high-performance computing and reduce the continent's reliance on external digital infrastructure. NVIDIA is also expanding its regional footprint into Egypt through a memorandum of understanding aimed at establishing the country as a regional AI hub. This collaboration includes providing technology for Egypt’s first sovereign AI-powered data center, with initial capacity goals of 20 megawatts and long-term targets of 200 megawatts. The Egyptian initiative focuses on digital skill development, startup innovation, and research, part of a broader framework to attract significant foreign direct investment. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-25: NVIDIA expands AI infrastructure footprint in Morocco and Egypt NVIDIA is driving AI infrastructure growth in North Africa, investing in a $1.2 billion Nexus AI Factory in Morocco and partnering with Egypt to develop sovereign AI-powered data centers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nvidia-expands-ai-infrastructure-footprint-in-morocco-and-egypt ### 2026-09-23: Morocco to host $1.2 billion Nexus AI Factory project Nexus Core Systems will invest $1.2 billion to build an AI factory in Morocco, utilizing NVIDIA technology and renewable energy to reach a planned capacity of 500 megawatts. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/morocco-to-host-12-billion-nexus-ai-factory-project --- Cite as: AI infrastructure expansion in North Africa.
