The Middle East’s data centre sector is set to double by 2030, driven by AI and digital growth, with the UAE leading this transformation. As demand accelerates, sustainable construction and energy-efficient infrastructure are becoming critical to support this rapid expansion.
The Data Centre Infrastructure & Innovation UAE Summit is a national initiative dedicated to the development, infrastructure, and financing of next-generation, resilient data centre ecosystems in the UAE. Officially supported by Government Partners, Etihad Water and Electricity (EtihadWE) and the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority, the summit addresses the full lifecycle of data centres, from site selection, civil works, and modular construction to power distribution, advanced cooling systems, indoor air quality management, fire safety, operational resilience, physical security, and energy-efficient design.
Taking place on 29 - 30 June 2026 in Dubai, the summit will bring together developers, contractors, and technology leaders to advance scalable, efficient, and secure data centre infrastructure across the UAE and beyond. DCIIS 2026 proudly aligns with national strategies including UAE Vision 2031, Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, and Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, each prioritising digital transformation, sustainability, and energy-efficient innovation to shape the future of technology.
