Israeli company ADC will construct Albania's first data center, with a €100 million investment in the Economic and Technological Development Area (TEDA) in Kashar, Tirana. The facility will utilize Nvidia's Robin graphic processors, providing 32 megawatts of power, expandable to 100 megawatts.

The building permit was granted within 60 days, and the site covers 1.8 hectares of state land. This project aligns with strengthened ties between Israel and Albania, especially following a 2022 Iranian cyberattack in Tirana that prompted Albania to adopt Israeli cybersecurity technologies.

ADC has secured financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for 75% of the project cost and has already signed three key clients. The data center aims to attract European and American clients seeking AI processing capabilities powered by green energy.
