FiveNines Group will lead early design and permitting work. The facility is the first phase of a planned 180MW AI factory, which Nexus Core Systems and its partners aim to deliver next year.

FiveNines Group, an infrastructure company, has joined Nexus Core Systems to design a planned 20MW AI data centre in Morocco, part of a 180MW AI factory project.

The Nexus AI Factory was agreed under a memorandum of understanding signed at GITEX in April 2026. Nexus and its international partners intend to deliver the 180MW project “next year”, according to Connecting Africa, which did not specify the year. Neither company disclosed an investment figure or named the other partners.

FiveNines will lead the project team through early-stage work: the brief, feasibility studies, design strategy and concept design. The aim is a coordinated design package for engagement with authorities and for permit applications. Its remit includes design management, technical governance, consultant coordination, constructability and procurement planning.

Gerry Curran, CEO of FiveNines Group, said the project “will bring together our international data center expertise” with Moroccan architects, engineers, technical advisers and relevant authorities. He said it “further demonstrates the capability of FiveNines Group to undertake critical infrastructure projects of the highest standard alongside global industry leaders”.

Bastian Remmlinger, head of infrastructure at Nexus Core Systems, said: “Their team has supported us well as we shape the design and delivery approach for the Morocco data center.”

The appointment covers design and permitting. The companies have not announced a construction start, a capital figure or a customer.
