Türkiye targets regional data center hub role

Türkiye is seeking to become a regional hub for data centers as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services drive demand for secure and high-capacity infrastructure.

The push is part of Türkiye’s new artificial intelligence vision and action plan, which aims to raise the country’s installed data center capacity to at least 1 gigawatt by 2030.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said Türkiye will mobilize at least $10 billion, mainly from the private sector, for data centers, cloud computing and AI infrastructure.

At least 2 percent of public investment programs will also be allocated to artificial intelligence projects.
