Robo.ai Inc. announced a strategic joint venture with U.S.-based Tachyon9 Corporation to accelerate the deployment of high-performance AI data centers across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and other global markets.
The agreement positions Robo.ai to address rising infrastructure constraints as demand for AI computers continues to surge.
Under the partnership, Robo.ai, will hold the majority stake in the joint venture. This partnership will be focused on the investment, development, and operationalization of next-generation AI Data Centers with operational capabilities on large language model training and other mission-critical AI workloads.
The first initiative of the venture is the construction of a 20-megawatt AI Data Center, which will likely be operational 12- 24 months from the time the site is acquired. It will be in either the APAC or the MENA region and will be designed for high computer density.
“The global edge-based AI data center market is projected to surpass $50 billion by 2030,”
said Shahal Khan, Executive Chairman of Tachyon9, adding that combining Tachyon9’s U.S. data center expertise with Robo.ai’s regional capabilities creates a strong platform for growth.
The announcement was made alongside Robo.ai’s recent hardware supply agreement which allows the company to pair chip access with physical infrastructure.
“This Joint Venture completes a critical piece of our infrastructure puzzle,”
said Benjamin Zhai, CEO of Robo.ai, citing global capacity shortages and rising demand for scalable AI solutions.
At $200 billion, the joint venture addresses the global infrastructure deficit in which the company aims to retrofit liquid cooling, micro edge data centers, and innovative, cost-effective deployment strategies.
Robo.ai expects APAC and MENA markets to drive up to 40 percent of global demand, representing an immediate multi-billion-dollar opportunity. Further developments are expected as site selection progresses.
