G42 and partners to build 1GW Stargate AI data centre
United Arab Emirates (UAE) state-backed company G42 and its partners plan to build the first phase of an AI data centre in the UAE, dubbed 'Stargate UAE'. The project is a joint effort involving G42, OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, SoftBank Group, and Cisco. Stargate UAE will serve as a next-generation compute cluster and will operate within the newly established 5GW UAE–US AI Campus located in Abu Dhabi. G42 is leading the construction of the 1GW cluster, with US companies OpenAI and Oracle set to manage its operations. Oracle CTO and chairman Larry Ellison said: 'Stargate pairs Oracle's AI-optimised cloud with nation-scale sovereign infrastructure. This first-in-the-world platform will enable every UAE government agency and commercial institution to connect their data to the world's most advanced AI models. 'This landmark deployment sets a new standard for digital sovereignty and demonstrates how nation states can harness the power of the most important technology in the history of humankind.' The collaboration includes several major technology firms. Cisco will provide zero-trust security measures and AI-ready network capabilities while NVIDIA will supply its Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, supporting the high-performance compute needs of the facility. SoftBank Group is also participating in the project. Initial operations will begin with a 200MW AI cluster expected to go live in 2026. The infrastructure is designed to support high-scale computing and low-latency AI processing, intended to meet growing global demand. This project is part of the broader "US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership," an initiative aimed at fostering deeper cooperation on AI and advanced technologies. The partnership seeks to develop AI that is safe, secure, and beneficial for humanity in the long term. As part of this partnership, UAE-based organisations will also expand their digital infrastructure investments in the US, including projects such as Stargate US, aligned with the 'America First Investment Policy'. Covering an area of ten square miles, the UAE–US AI Campus is the largest AI infrastructure project of its kind outside the US. It will offer 5GW of AI data centre capacity, powered by a mix of nuclear, solar, and natural gas sources to reduce carbon emissions. The campus will also feature a science park focused on innovation, workforce development, and sustainable computing technologies. OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman said: 'By establishing the world's first Stargate outside of the US in the UAE, we're transforming a bold vision into reality. 'This is the first major milestone in our OpenAI for Countries initiative—our effort to work with allies and partners to build AI infrastructure around the world. 'It's a step toward ensuring some of this era's most important breakthroughs—safer medicines, personalised learning, and modernized energy—can emerge from more places and benefit the world.'

UAE to build the world's largest set of AI data centres in Abu Dhabi
The first phase of a massive new artificial data center in the United Arab Emirates will come online in 2026, likely with 100,000 Nvidia chips. The "Stargate UAE" project is part of a deal brokered last week by US President Donald Trump to build the world's largest set of AI data centers outside the United States, despite previous US restrictions on sending advanced technology to the UAE because of its close ties to China. The 10-square-mile (26-sq-km) site in Abu Dhabi will eventually host 5 gigawatts worth of data centers. The first phase of that project will be the 1-gigawatt Stargate UAE project, built by state-backed UAE firm G42 in partnership with US firms OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia and Cisco Systems, as well as Japan's SoftBank Group. The companies on Thursday said that the Stargate UAE project will use Nvidia's Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, currently the most advanced AI server that Nvidia offers. The first 200 megawatts of capacity will go live in 2026, the companies said. The group did not give a number of servers, but analyst firm TrendForce estimates that GB300 servers with 72 chips each consume about 140-kilowatts of power, which equates to about 1,400 servers or 100,000 Nvidia chips. This first-in-the-world platform will enable every UAE government agency and commercial institution to connect their data to the world's most advanced AI models," Larry Ellison, Oracle's chief technology officer and chairman, said in a statement. The Trump administration earlier this month rescinded a rule put in place by President Joe Biden that would have restricted the flow of AI chips to countries such as the UAE. The US Commerce Department, which oversees export controls, has not said what will replace the rule but said last week that it will convene a working group between the U.S. and UAE to ensure that the project meets "robust U.S. security standards and other efforts to responsibly deploy AI infrastructure, both in the UAE and globally."
