The initial stage of a large-scale artificial intelligence data center in the United Arab Emirates is set to launch in 2026, featuring approximately 100,000 Nvidia chips.
Dubbed "Stargate UAE," this venture is part of a recently negotiated agreement by former President Donald Trump. The initiative aims to establish the largest collection of AI data centers outside the United States, despite past U.S. restrictions on exporting advanced technology to the UAE, primarily due to its relationship with China.
The Abu Dhabi site spans 10 square miles (about 26 square kilometers) and will ultimately accommodate data centers with a capacity of 5 gigawatts.
The first phase, known as the one-gigawatt Stargate UAE project, is being developed by the UAE-based G42 in collaboration with several U.S. companies, including OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, and Cisco Systems, alongside Japan’s SoftBank Group.
On a recent announcement, the companies indicated that the Stargate UAE project will utilize Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell GB300 systems, recognized as their most advanced AI server currently available. The initial 200 megawatts of capacity is scheduled to become operational in 2026. While the exact number of servers wasn’t disclosed, analysts at Trend Force estimate that GB300 servers, each housing 72 chips, consume about 140 kilowatts of power. This translates to roughly 1,400 servers or 100,000 Nvidia chips.
"This groundbreaking platform will enable every government agency and business in the UAE to link their data with the world’s leading AI models," stated Larry Ellison, Oracle’s CTO and chairman.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration reversed a regulation implemented by President Biden that had imposed limits on exporting AI chips to nations like the UAE.
The U.S. Commerce Department, responsible for export regulations, has yet to clarify what new rules will be established. However, it was announced last week that a working group will be formed between the U.S. and UAE to ensure that the project adheres to rigorous U.S. security standards and promotes the responsible implementation of AI infrastructure both in the UAE and globally.
