Oracle to boost Abu Dhabi investment fivefold on AI, cloud

Oracle has announced plans to increase its investment in Abu Dhabi due to rising demand for AI and cloud services in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Nick Redshaw, Oracle’s senior VP for technology cloud and UAE country leader, said that the investment in the region will grow fivefold.

Oracle currently operates two cloud regions in the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), and 11 regions across the Middle East and Africa. Globally, it has 171 cloud regions.

The company plans to add 14 more regions, including a facility in Neom, Saudi Arabia.

Oracle will also establish a sovereign cloud region in Bahrain, in partnership with Beyon Solutions, to meet regional demand for cloud, AI, and application services.

Additionally, Oracle plans to train and certify 350,000 individuals across the Middle East, focusing on skills in AI and cloud infrastructure.
