New multi-million regional data hub in Bahrain to boost digital transformation across the Arab world

Manama, September 08, 2021: A new multi-million regional data centre is set to be built in the Kingdom of Bahrain to promote collective digital transformation with the aim of evolving local economies and enriching the lives of common people in the Arab nations. The Arab League’s Arab Federation for Digital Economy (AFDE) has entered into an MOU with ATDXT LLC, a digital transformation company, headquartered in United Arab Emirates, to launch the first of its kind collaboration to enable digital transformation hub in the new data centre in Bahrain focused on localised, data protection, enhancing security, and rendering digital transformation solutions. The agreement was signed on September 01.

The initiative’s main hub in Bahrain will serve all member states of the Arab League. All member countries partaking in the initiative can leverage these solutions hosted in Bahrain, which is a key driver behind the Gulf’s overall digital economy transformation efforts. These solutions will be focused on supporting both government and private sector entities in Arab League member states, with the aim of improving the competitiveness of Arab economies and fostering their integration into the global economy.
