e& UAE and Core42 Launch Sovereign AI Infrastructure Platform
e& UAE and Core42 have partnered to introduce Sovereign AI Compute, a new platform that gives organizations in the UAE and international markets secure access to in-country AI infrastructure. As a result, enterprises and government entities can deploy AI applications faster while keeping sensitive workloads and data within the UAE.
The platform marks the first joint offering under a broader global partnership. Additionally, the collaboration focuses on strengthening critical AI services, improving resilience, and supporting national digital continuity across the UAE.
By combining Core42’s Sovereign AI Cloud with e& UAE’s nationwide digital infrastructure, secure connectivity, customer support, and professional services, the partners have created a unified platform that simplifies AI deployment. Consequently, organizations can build, train, fine-tune, infer, and deploy AI models through a single commercial and operational framework.
New platform accelerates AI adoption across industries
As AI adoption continues to grow, many UAE organizations face challenges securing local GPU infrastructure at scale. Moreover, traditional cloud platforms may lack sufficient local capacity, while on-premises deployments often require significant capital investment and extended implementation timelines.
The partnership supports the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031. Furthermore, it aligns with the country’s ambition to expand agentic AI across government, healthcare, finance, mobility, digital infrastructure, and other strategic sectors to improve efficiency and accelerate economic diversification.
The new platform integrates sovereign AI infrastructure, secure connectivity, and implementation services into a single framework. Therefore, organizations can move from AI planning to production deployment more efficiently while maintaining compliance with national data sovereignty requirements.
Sovereign AI ecosystem expands with secure connectivity
Sovereign AI Compute supports a wide range of AI workloads through immediate access to heterogeneous GPU accelerators and expert implementation services. Meanwhile, e& UAE provides dedicated carrier-grade, high-bandwidth connectivity that securely links enterprise environments to sovereign GPU infrastructure.
The platform serves industries where secure AI infrastructure is essential, including government, healthcare, financial services, energy, education, retail, manufacturing, industrial operations, and large enterprises. Therefore, organizations can accelerate AI projects without upfront capital investment while benefiting from competitive pricing, zero egress fees, and full compliance with UAE data residency requirements.
In addition, the partnership strengthens the UAE’s sovereign AI ecosystem by supporting secure digital transformation, cyber resilience, and sovereign technology development. Core42 also continues to expand national digital continuity efforts through its Signature National Disaster Recovery Cloud, which helps governments and critical industries maintain operations during large-scale disruptions.
Finally, e& UAE has introduced GPU Connect, an integrated service that combines advanced GPU capabilities with premium connectivity. As a result, customers gain higher technical performance, simplified deployment, and greater commercial value from a single AI infrastructure solution.
