Mongolia is drafting a 2026 to 2030 big data and AI strategy that targets investor-friendly data centre rules, and signed a green AI data centre MOU in August 2026.

A government news item of 24 September 2025 describes a National Strategy for Big Data and AI with 66 measures over two phases (2026 to 2030), including an investor-friendly legal environment for international data centres (Primary). A UNDP blog of June 2025 says the strategy was finalised and ready for Parliament, and that high-performance computing capacity is a gap (Primary). The Personal Data Protection Law has applied since 1 May 2022 (Reported). A state-owned National Data Center runs government cloud and hosting, and NOVVA Group signed an MOU with the digital ministry on 25 August 2026 on green AI data centres and renewables (Reported).

AI policy and activity

Strategy stage: a draft or finalised document was described but we found no confirmation that Parliament adopted it. UNDP scored national AI readiness at 3.0 out of 5.

Power and grid

Reported. The NOVVA release frames the plan around solar PV, wind and battery storage, with no figures for Mongolia. No grid operator or regulator document was read.
