Description
Description | Microsoft partnered with UAE-based AI firm G42 to invest $1 billion in a data center in Kenya to expand cloud-computing services in East Africa. The facility was planned to run entirely on geothermal power and provide access to Microsoft's Azure through a cloud region for East Africa. However, the project has been delayed due to disagreements with the Kenyan government over payment guarantees, with talks breaking down when the government couldn't provide the guarantees at the level Microsoft requested. The group might ultimately decide to scale back the project, but Kenya is continuing talks and the project is not considered failed or withdrawn yet. |
