The South Korean company “Naver”, who is active in the field of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, formed a union with two global giants in the field, in addition to a global investment company, for the purpose of establishing a new -generation artificial intelligence data center in Morocco, which is expected to be legitimized starting from the last quarter of the current year.
Specialized platforms and media stated that this union includes in addition to the South Korean actor, both the giant NVIDIA company, and the company “Nexus Core Systems”, which specializes in the instrument of machine intelligence, as well as “LLOYD Capital” for global investments.
And the “Developing Telecoms” website, quoting the South Korean company, reported that this union aims to “establish a renewable data center, with a capacity of 500 megawatts in Morocco, to provide sovereign intelligence services across the region of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
This project also aims to “provide integrated artificial intelligence services and applications based on an advanced cloud platform.”
Regarding the stages of the implementation of the project, the same source clarified that the first stage will begin during the last quarter of this year, with a “infrastructure for the superior computing of artificial intelligence with a capacity of 40 megawatts, equipped with the latest graphics processing units from NVIDIA (Blackwele GB200)”, provided that “it is gradually expanded to 500 megawatts.”
He stressed that “achieving the rule of data is a basic goal for the project,” explaining that “Naver will create a cloud infrastructure and sovereign artificial intelligence capable of carrying out all operations locally from storage to treatment and operation.”
As for the reasons for choosing Morocco, the same source confirmed that it was due to the geographical location of the latter; “It is only 15 kilometers from Europe, and it is directly related to several marine optical fiber cables.”
The importance of this project is that it will enhance “the position of the Kingdom of Morocco as a major center for data and artificial intelligence in the region, and supports digital transformation by providing an advanced and sustainable infrastructure for energy.”
Al -Tayyib Al -Hazzah, an expert in information security, explained that “the data center for artificial intelligence is from the new generation that the South Korean company intends to create in Morocco, within the framework of an international alliance that brings it together in Envydia, Nixos and Capi -Capeal, the Moroccan companies will benefit from it.”
Al -Hajaz added, in a statement to the electronic newspaper Hespress, that “this center will serve as a sovereign cloud platform directed to Morocco, but it is also dedicated to Europe, the Middle East and Asia,” noting that “its importance lies in the fact that it will make the storage and processing of data within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty.”
“This matter will fully control the national data, in line with the Moroccan legal requirements that attend the processing of Morocco’s data outside the country.”
Al -Habaz stressed that “what doubles the importance of this project that we are dealing with is the possession of the companies based on it with a great experience and experience in the field of data centers,” adding that “it will contribute to the operation of a number of graduate and efficient youth in this field.”
The same author stressed that “in addition to its strategic location near Europe, the South Korean company chose Morocco as well as it is also available on an advanced digital infrastructure, in addition to its connection to marine cables with the European continent.”
For his part, Hassan Kharj, an expert in information and information and digital development, described the creation of this center as a “good step”, explaining that “when we talk about” Navir “, it is as if we were talking about” Google “or” Yandex “;” It is a great sign in the end. “
In a statement to the electronic newspaper Hespress, exit highlighted that the “Navir” browser ‘, for example, is very superior to Google, especially within South Korea, “and that” the company in general has a set of services and applications of artificial intelligence and deer can benefit Morocco. “

He added that “this southern Korean company is betting through investing in Morocco to export data abroad, especially since when they have servers in the country, it can control Europe and Africa at the same time.”
