e& UAE<\/a> and Core42<\/a> have announced a partnership to launch Sovereign AI Compute, a new platform that gives enterprises and government<\/a> organisations in the UAE and international markets secure, on-demand access to in-country AI infrastructure for faster AI deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement marks the first joint offering under a broader global partnership between the two companies. Besides AI infrastructure, the collaboration also focuses on strengthening the resilience of critical AI services and supporting national digital continuity across the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sovereign AI Compute platform combines Core42’s Sovereign AI Cloud with e& UAE’s national digital infrastructure, secure connectivity, customer network, and professional services. As a result, organisations can move from AI planning to production deployment through a single commercial and operational framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform enables customers to build, train, fine tune, infer, and deploy AI applications while ensuring sensitive workloads and data remain within the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companies said the offering addresses several challenges facing enterprises as AI adoption accelerates. These include limited access to in-country GPU infrastructure, insufficient local cloud capacity, and the high costs and long deployment timelines associated with on-premises AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esam Mahmoud, Senior Vice President, SMB Sales and Marketing at e& UAE, said, “AI is becoming a key part of how organisations operate. Through our collaboration with Core42, we are enabling UAE enterprises and government entities a simpler, faster and more secure way to access sovereign GPU infrastructure, connect their data and operationalise AI at scale. This directly supports the UAE’s vision to build an AI-native economy and advance the national agentic AI agenda by enabling organisations to deploy intelligent systems that can analyse, decide and act with greater speed and confidence. The value of this platform is not only AI compute, it is the combination of AI infrastructure, private connectivity, local support and a practical route to production.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the partnership aligns with the UAE’s vision of creating an AI-native economy where intelligent AI agents can autonomously analyse, decide, and execute tasks across government services, healthcare, finance, mobility, and digital infrastructure. It also supports the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031, which aims to accelerate AI adoption, improve public services, reduce bureaucracy, and diversify the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaafar Al Hashmi, VP of Government Relations and Market Development at Core42, said, “AI deployment at scale demands infrastructure that can operate securely, compliantly, and with the resilience required for real-world execution. This partnership with e& UAE extends sovereign AI from foundational infrastructure into an operational capability, integrating compute, connectivity, and implementation into a single framework built for deployment. By strengthening these invisible foundations, we are enabling organisations across the UAE to move beyond AI ambition and towards sustained, production-grade execution.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform supports a wide range of AI workloads through immediate access to Core42’s heterogeneous GPU accelerators. It is backed by Core42 Delivery Services for implementation, while e& UAE provides dedicated, carrier grade, high bandwidth connectivity that securely links enterprise environments with sovereign GPU infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service is designed for industries where secure AI infrastructure is essential. These include government, healthcare, financial services, energy, education, retail, manufacturing, industrial operations, and large enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For customers, the platform offers faster AI deployment without capital expenditure. It also provides a competitive pricing model with zero egress fees and ensures compliance with national data sovereignty requirements through in-country data residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the collaboration strengthens the UAE’s sovereign AI ecosystem and builds on e& UAE’s broader AI strategy, including initiatives focused on secure digital transformation, cyber resilience, and sovereign technology development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership also reflects Core42’s ongoing work in national digital continuity through its Signature National Disaster Recovery Cloud (NDRC), a fully sovereign infrastructure solution designed to help governments, regulated industries, and national critical infrastructure maintain operations during large scale disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, e& UAE introduced GPU Connect, an exclusive service that combines advanced GPU capabilities with premium connectivity in a single package. The company said the service is designed to simplify AI adoption while delivering high technical performance and commercial value. Through Sovereign AI Compute, the two companies aim to accelerate secure AI deployment and strengthen sovereign AI capabilities for organisations across the UAE and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
