UAE and Google Cloud Launch Cybersecurity Excellence Center in Abu Dhabi: A Leap Toward Global Digital Leadership

In line with its vision to become a global powerhouse in technology and cybersecurity, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has partnered with Google Cloud to launch the region's first Cybersecurity Excellence Center in Abu Dhabi. This initiative underscores the UAE's strategic commitment to creating a secure, advanced digital ecosystem and highlights the government’s continuous efforts to empower national capabilities in AI and cybersecurity.

A Bold Step Forward
Approved by the UAE Cabinet, this collaboration with Google Cloud aligns with the directives of the nation's wise leadership to enhance international cooperation, strengthen cyber resilience, and maintain the UAE’s competitive edge in emerging technologies.

The Center will focus on:

  • Knowledge sharing & collaboration with global academia and research institutions.

  • Cybersecurity training & simulation programs through Mandiant (Google Cloud), equipping professionals with real-world skills.

  • Startup support, including an accelerator for 25 startups and up to $300,000 in cloud credits.

With this new hub, the UAE not only aims to boost its cyber readiness but also attract over $1.4 billion in FDI, create 20,000+ jobs, and prevent up to $6.8 billion in cybercrime losses by 2030.

This marks a pivotal moment in the UAE’s journey toward securing its digital infrastructure and becoming a beacon of innovation, security, and collaboration on the global stage.
