Saudi Arabian data center company DataVolt has signed supplier contracts with Vertiv and Chemours.
DataVolt last week announced that it has signed a $20 billion agreement with Supermicro for servers and equipment for “hyperscale AI campuses” in Saudi Arabia and the US.
The scale of the Vertiv deal is not yet known, with the company declining to provide further information.

On LinkedIn, Vertiv’s EMEA president, Karsten Winther, said that the company had signed a ‘Technical Cooperation Agreement’ with DataVolt “to advance next-generation data center innovation in Saudi Arabia and beyond.”
Vertiv develops both power and cooling solutions for the data center sector.
Liquid cooling fluid company Chemours, meanwhile, said that it had entered into a strategic agreement with DataVolt across two-phase direct-to-chip, two-phase immersion cooling, and other solutions. Among the fluids to be used is Chemours’ new Opteon dielectric line.
“Our collaboration with DataVolt represents another significant step in our liquid cooling roadmap,” Denise Dignam, Chemours president and CEO, said.
“Combining our thermal management expertise with DataVolt’s knowledge designing and operating sustainable data centers, we can help accelerate the adoption of liquid cooling and other innovative technologies, minimizing data center total cost of ownership and environmental footprint, while maximizing performance and efficiency. We are excited to work alongside industry leaders to achieve these goals and drive forward sustainable data center innovation.”
Rajit Nanda, DataVolt CEO, added: “We are excited to announce this agreement with Chemours to develop state-of-the-art solutions, including liquid cooling technologies, for our future-ready AI data centers.
Riyadh-based DataVolt was founded in 2023 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vision Invest, a Saudi Arabian development and investment holding company focused on critical infrastructure.
This year, DataVolt said that it would build a data center in Riyadh and another 1.5GW campus in Neom’s Oxagon. The company has also announced plans for data centers in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan.
