“Stargate UAE” to become one-gigawatt AI computing hub by 2026

OpenAI has unveiled plans to build the world’s largest data center in Abu Dhabi through its groundbreaking “Stargate UAE” project. The $500 billion initiative, developed in partnership with G42, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco, and SoftBank, represents the first sovereign AI partnership between OpenAI and a national government.

The massive one-gigawatt AI computing cluster will position the UAE as the first country to implement ChatGPT nationwide, providing universal access to OpenAI’s technology. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the facility will support critical sectors including government services, healthcare, education, and transportation.

Strategic partnership aligns with UAE’s $1.4 trillion US investment pledge

The project advances the UAE’s commitment to invest $1.4 trillion in the United States while establishing Abu Dhabi as a global AI hub:
