In the heart of the Negev region, amid challenges and ongoing healing from October 7, Israel is building something extraordinary: one of the country's largest AI data centers in Israel.

Partnering together, Serverfarm and the Israel Infrastructure Fund are teaming up with Dalia Energy to create a massive 130-megawatt server farm (with potential to grow to 200 MW). The initial phase alone is valued at about $1.5 billion, with billions more for cutting-edge equipment.

Right alongside it, a powerful new 850-megawatt natural gas power station—named Eshkol Avshalom in loving memory of Avshalom Haran from Kibbutz Be'eri, who was tragically murdered on October 7—will provide the reliable energy needed to fuel this tech powerhouse.

This project positions Israel firmly in the global race for AI leadership, ensuring our innovators have the infrastructure to lead the world in creativity and discovery.

Adding even more strength: Dalia has secured a license for a new underwater fiber optic cable linking Ashdod directly to Europe, enabling lightning-fast data transfer.

From tragedy comes tremendous resolve— Israel continues to innovate, remember our fallen heroes, and build a brighter, more connected future.
