G42, OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, SoftBank Group, and Cisco are partnering to build Stargate UAE, a next-generation AI infrastructure cluster in Abu Dhabi. This 1-gigawatt compute cluster, housed in the new UAE–U.S. AI Campus, will be built by G42 and operated by OpenAI and Oracle.
The collaboration will leverage Cisco's zero-trust security and AI-ready connectivity, alongside contributions from SoftBank Group. NVIDIA will supply its latest Grace Blackwell GB200 systems. The facility aims to deliver best-in-class infrastructure, nation-scale compute, and low-latency inferencing to meet global AI demands. The first phase is expected to go live in 2026.
