## Summary

Alibaba Cloud provided cloud computing and AI support for the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games in Senegal, building an Olympic-dedicated cloud that runs the event's ticketing, registration and schedule systems. After the games, the cloud will be handed to Senegal as a national cloud platform. Alibaba Cloud's international dedicated-cloud business grew nearly twofold in the first half, but it accounts for less than 5% of its overall business while absorbing close to 50% of the division's resources.
