The breakthrough was introduced by Deputy Prime Minister Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, showcasing the nation’s push to lead in artificial intelligence infrastructure and semiconductor innovation.
The chip, developed by Stargate under Abu Dhabi‑based AI giant G42, is expected to supercharge large AI workloads and future‑scale computing systems that underpin next‑generation artificial intelligence. The announcement aligns with the UAE’s growing investments in AI capabilities, including partnerships with global tech companies building massive compute hubs and data centres in the country.
This milestone builds on the UAE’s broader strategy to invest in sovereign AI infrastructure, exemplified by the Stargate UAE project — a multi‑gigawatt AI campus developed with partners like OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, and Cisco slated to come online in phases in 2026 and beyond. The initiative positions the Emirates as a major AI powerhouse outside traditional tech hubs.
