Unlocking Growth: Overcoming Bottlenecks in Data Centre Delivery 

As the global demand for data centres surges—driven by AI, cloud expansion, and digital transformation—the Middle East is emerging as a key growth market. Yet, delivering capacity at speed is increasingly challenged by supply chain constraints and labour shortages. 

• What strategies are attracting and upskilling the next generation of talent to meet the scale and complexity of data centre builds? 
• How are modern construction techniques and prefabrication models reducing timelines and improving ROI?
