OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, and Cisco Unite to Build Massive AI Campus in UAE
Four of the world’s leading technology firms—OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, and Cisco—have announced a strategic partnership to develop a massive artificial intelligence campus in the United Arab Emirates, as part of a bold effort to shape the region’s digital future.
The initiative, dubbed Stargate UAE, will be located in Abu Dhabi and span over 10 square miles, featuring 5 gigawatts of compute capacity upon completion. The project is being launched in collaboration with G42, a major Emirati technology firm.
The announcement follows a Middle East tour by President Donald Trump, during which the U.S. Commerce Department unveiled a series of new technology and AI deals across the region—including the Stargate initiative.
As part of the collaboration, OpenAI and Oracle will oversee a 1-gigawatt compute cluster, which will be built by G42. Nvidia will supply the advanced GPUs powering the infrastructure, while Cisco Systems will provide the networking and connectivity backbone.
An initial 200-megawatt AI cluster is scheduled to go live in 2026, according to the companies involved.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described AI as the “most transformative force of our time,” noting that the Stargate UAE project is designed to provide the technological foundation for the country’s long-term ambitions in AI.
The campus aims to empower the UAE’s economic growth, local talent development, and technological leadership in the global AI race. With its combination of compute power, global partnerships, and sovereign ambition, Stargate UAE is poised to become one of the largest AI infrastructure projects in the world.
