ORA Advanced Technology (UAE) and Tillman Global Holdings (USA) proudly announce the establishment of a landmark joint venture to design, build, and operate a 1-gigawatt AI-optimized data center campus in Abu Dhabi—set to become one of the region’s largest and most advanced digital infrastructure developments.

This ambitious project strengthens the long-standing UAE–US partnership in emerging technologies, furthering shared objectives in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, sovereign compute, and energy-resilient infrastructure. It reinforces the UAE’s position as a global hub for next-generation AI capabilities, while reflecting the United States’ ongoing commitment to collaborating with the UAE on transformative, future-driven technology ecosystems.

Strengthening UAE–US Strategic and Technological Alliances

This joint venture represents a major step forward in the expanding cooperation between the UAE and the United States in advanced technology sectors. By combining Emirati leadership in sovereign AI development with U.S. expertise in global digital infrastructure, the partnership enables a more secure, connected, and innovation-driven global digital landscape.

The project directly supports several key bilateral and national priorities, including:

• AI cooperation and responsible innovation
• Secure, scalable, and resilient digital infrastructure
• Sustainable energy transition and next-generation clean power

Building on the UAE’s AI Leadership

The UAE’s emergence as a global AI leader has been strengthened by the pioneering foundation laid by G42, whose work advanced the nation’s capabilities in AI research, digital sovereignty, and hyperscale infrastructure.

This new joint venture builds upon that momentum—supporting the UAE’s next phase of AI readiness and reinforcing its role in shaping the future of global digital standards.
