In a historic step forward for artificial intelligence (AI) and international collaboration, G42, OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, SoftBank Group and Cisco have announced their partnership to build Stargate UAE.

Stargate UAE is a next-generation AI infrastructure cluster that will run in the newly established 5-gigawatt UAE–U.S. AI Campus in Abu Dhabi.

Stargate UAE, a 1-gigawatt compute cluster, will be built by G42 and operated by OpenAI and Oracle.

The collaboration will also include Cisco, offering its zero-trust security and AI-ready connectivity, and SoftBank Group, as well as NVIDIA which will supply the latest NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB300 systems.

The facility will provide best-in-class infrastructure, nation-scale compute, and low latency inferencing to deliver AI that will meet the demands of an increasingly intelligent world. The first 200-megawatt AI cluster is expected to go live in 2026.

Stargate UAE creates a foundation for scalable, trusted AI. It will accelerate scientific discovery and drive innovation across industries ranging from healthcare and energy to finance and transportation, fueling future economic growth and national development.

The UAE–US AI Campus which will house Stargate UAE was announced last week in Abu Dhabi in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and US President Donald J. Trump.

The endeavour builds on a new framework by the US and UAE governments, the ‘US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, to deepen cooperation and collaboration on AI and advanced technologies developing safe, secure, and responsible AI that delivers long-term benefits for humanity.”
