SuperX AI Technology Limited (NASDAQ: SUPX), a provider of AI computing infrastructure services, has discussed plans for a proposed 1GW AI computing park in Kazakhstan, as the Nasdaq-listed AI infrastructure company considers an entry into Central Asia.
Executives from SuperX met Kazakhstan Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov on 23 June on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s Summer Davos event in Dalian. The parties discussed a phased development plan for a large-scale AI computing park in the country.
Under the proposal, SuperX would pursue a three-year buildout, starting with a 200MW computing cluster targeted for completion in 2027. This would be followed by an additional 300MW in 2028 and a further 500MW expansion in 2029.
The proposed 1GW facility is intended to support Kazakhstan’s ambitions to build domestic sovereign computing capacity and position itself as a regional digital infrastructure hub between Europe and Asia.
Kazakhstan has named 2026 its Year of Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence. Through its Digital Kazakhstan strategy, the government is seeking to reduce reliance on foreign hardware and software while expanding local compute capacity.
The talks also covered the possible creation of a joint working group to assess land use, energy supply, fiscal and tax policy, and talent development. Kazakhstan has invited SuperX to carry out local site selection studies to evaluate the project’s feasibility.
SuperX is a Singapore-headquartered AI infrastructure company providing hardware, software and services for AI data centres. Its products include AI servers, 800VDC power systems, liquid cooling solutions, AI cloud services and AI agents.
SuperX chairman Huang Chenhong said Kazakhstan’s location, energy resources and foreign investment policies could make it a potential node in the company’s global computing network.
The company said it could support the project through its NVIDIA OEM partnership, liquid cooling and high-voltage direct current solutions, cross-border data compliance framework, and manufacturing capacity in China and overseas.
SuperX said its model for overseas data centre deployment could be applied in Kazakhstan to shorten the project timeline.
Kazakhstan’s prime minister welcomed further coordination between SuperX and Kazakhstan Invest to assess the project’s viability. Further discussions are expected to determine whether the proposed framework can move into concrete development plans.
If the project moves ahead, it could help Kazakhstan address domestic compute capacity gaps and support its AI industrial development.
For SuperX, the project would provide a potential route into Central Asia’s digital infrastructure market and expand its cross-border computing footprint between Europe and Asia.
