U.S.-based tech startup Iozera, in collaboration with the Moroccan government, is set to revolutionize the AI industry with a new initiative. They have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a 386MW Data Center and AI Hub in Tetouan, Morocco. This partnership aims to democratize access to advanced AI computing resources globally, with a focus on GPU-based processing for researchers, startups, and businesses. A significant feature of this initiative is its commitment to sustainability, utilizing Morocco’s renewable energy resources to power the facility.
