Backed by billions in sovereign wealth and global partnerships, the country is trading petroleum pipelines for digital ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, Texas-based TRG Datacenters ranked the country among the world\u2019s top three AI superpowers, alongside the US and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this infrastructure promises growth, it also raises environmental and geopolitical concerns around energy, water and data sovereignty in a region already strained by climate extremes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Backed by billions: sovereign capital fueling hyperscale expansion<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, Microsoft injected $1.5 billion for a minority stake in Emirati technology firm G42, joining its board and committing to co-develop a $1 billion fund focused on AI skills and infrastructure across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This capital infusion has empowered G42\u2019s subsidiary, Khazna Data Centers, to spearhead the country\u2019s hyperscale expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm was formerly owned by Abu Dhabi\u2019s sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, with the majority now owned by G42. It holds over 70 percent of the national data center market share.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This investment is part of a larger global surge in AI infrastructure. A 2025 McKinsey analysis projects $1.7 trillion in capital spending on AI-capable data centers globally by 2030.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with growth comes cost: the International Energy Agency estimates global data center electricity use could double by 2030, reaching 945 terawatt-hours, nearly 3 percent of total global consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khazna Chief Strategy Officer Johan Nilerud told Arab News the company is embedding sustainability into every layer of its operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur operations rely heavily on recycled water rather than potable sources,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve engineered our facilities to deliver high-density compute while maintaining a power usage effectiveness of around 1.5, even in extreme conditions \u2026 compared to the regional average of 1.8.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nilerud added that Khazna does not see their growth \u201cas being at odds with sustainability.\u201d&nbsp;To maintain efficiency in temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius Nilerud said \u201cwe\u2019re investing in direct liquid cooling and immersion technologies that can support the next generation of high-density AI chips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond physical infrastructure, G42 is also expanding into cloud computing. Its other subsidiary, Core42, signed a $3.54 billion multi-year agreement this year with Microsoft and the Abu Dhabi government to develop a sovereign cloud system to modernize public sector services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deal comes as Abu Dhabi aims to become the world\u2019s first fully AI-native government by 2027, signaling a commitment to digital self-reliance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Private equity partnership meets Gulf capital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of the most high-profile deals to date, US investment firm KKR entered a $5 billion agreement with Emirati conglomerate Etisalat by e&amp; in January this year, marking its first data center investment in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KKR also acquired a stake in Gulf Data Hub, one of the region\u2019s largest independent hyperscale platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership aims to support data center expansion across Gulf nations to meet surging demand from AI workloads, cloud services, and national digital agendas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Stargate is a future epicenter still in flux<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAE\u2019s $500 billion Stargate project, set to go live in 2026, is poised to become one of the world\u2019s largest AI data center networks outside the US.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10 sq. mile (25 sq. km) AI campus in Abu Dhabi is expected to be operated with 5 gigawatts of power and host up to 500,000 Nvidia chips yearly.&nbsp;Led by G42 and backed by OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, Cisco, and Japan\u2019s SoftBank Group, Stargate represents a new frontier in Gulf-led AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the project\u2019s scale has drawn scrutiny.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe risk that some of the US\u2019 most sensitive intellectual property could leak to US adversaries \u2014 or that those adversaries could access US AI systems in the Gulf &#8230; remains very real,\u201d Sam Winter-Levy, technology fellow at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told Arab News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mitigate such risks, Microsoft reportedly included strict safeguards: G42 is prohibited from using Microsoft\u2019s AI chips for surveillance and must seek approval before sharing its technology with foreign governments or military entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, US export licensing remains unresolved amid lingering American concerns about the UAE\u2019s ties to China, raised during both the Joe Biden and Donald Trump administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe US could retract or limit licenses in the future, if it wanted; it controls key parts of the AI supply chain,\u201d Winter-Levy said. \u201cBut the Gulf has leverage too: they could freeze payments, turn back to Chinese providers, or even try to seize control of the chips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These geopolitical tensions cast uncertainty over the future of Stargate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khazna\u2019s Nilerud told Arab News that \u201cin the UAE, we\u2019re seeing a clear move toward sovereign-backed infrastructure that ensures critical data remains within national borders and under jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Sovereign strategy and sustainability balancing act&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June of this year, Sultan Al-Jaber, CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., announced plans to grow the UAE\u2019s US investment portfolio to $440 billion over the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling AI a \u201conce-in-a-generation opportunity,\u201d he emphasized that the \u201cUS is not just a priority, it is an investment imperative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter-Levy argued that while Gulf states are amassing enough resources to develop sovereign AI capabilities, \u201cthey will still remain dependent on foreign technology for the foreseeable future &#8230; advanced chips that, for now, only the US is capable of producing at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the power demands of this AI-driven future are rising sharply. Goldman Sachs projects data center electricity use will surge 165 percent by 2030, largely due to AI workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With digital infrastructure now sitting at the intersection of energy, economics, and geopolitical influence, the region\u2019s push to lead in AI will depend not just on how fast it can scale, but on how sustainably it can grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once fueled by oil, the UAE is now betting on bits and bytes.&nbsp; The Gulf state is rapidly building hyperscale data centers, positioning itself as&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,36],"tags":[42,197,198,199,37,69],"class_list":["post-2893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mena","category-technology","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-data-centre","tag-tech-hub","tag-technology","tag-uae"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
