UAE-US Partnership Driving Technological Innovation

Trillion dollar partnership: UAE-US economic relationship getting stronger

 Technology has emerged as a cornerstone of the UAE-US economic relationship, fostering significant advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure. Leading American technology firms are forging strategic alliances with UAE companies to drive innovation and global digital transformation.

One of the most significant developments in this sector is Microsoft’s $1.5 billion investment in G42, a leading UAE-based AI and cloud computing firm. This collaboration aims to enhance artificial intelligence capabilities and expand cloud solutions worldwide. Additionally, Microsoft is set to establish its Global Engineering Development Centre in the UAE, further strengthening the technological bridge between the two nations.

Beyond AI, the UAE-US joint investments are meeting the growing demand for tech infrastructure and data centers. In a landmark deal, US private equity firm KKR and Gulf Data Hub in Dubai have announced a substantial investment to expand data center infrastructure across the Gulf region. This move underscores the shared vision of both countries to enhance digital connectivity and data security.

The UAE’s engagement in US technology dates back to 2007 when Mubadala invested $622 million in American chipmaker AMD, laying the foundation for future collaborations. More recently, in March 2025, UAE-based XRG announced significant investments in the US energy market, reinforcing the UAE’s commitment to diversifying its economic contributions.

As both nations continue to deepen their partnership, their technological collaborations will not only drive economic growth but also shape the future of global innovation. With a shared vision for advancement, the UAE and the US are setting new benchmarks for international economic cooperation.

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan.
