Jordan's cloud policy tells government bodies to stop building their own data centres, use the Government Cloud and keep sensitive data in the country.

The Cloud (Platforms and Services) Policy 2020 sets a cloud-first rule for government: entities should not expand their own data centres and should use the Jordan Government Cloud run by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship. Sensitive data must be stored and processed inside the Kingdom, and outside providers must sit in countries with compatible data protection law. The AI Strategy and Implementation Plan 2023 to 2027 builds on an AI policy approved by Cabinet in December 2022 but sets no specific compute projects. We found no data centre records to add.

AI policy and activity

The AI Strategy and Implementation Plan 2023 to 2027 refers to adapting existing digital infrastructure and cloud and big data capacity for AI, and does not name GPU, HPC or data centre projects.

Power and grid

No data centre records added: the pages read describe the Government Cloud but name no facility. We did not fetch grid operator pages.
