Abu Dhabi-based private equity firm <\/strong>VantageBridge Partners<\/a><\/strong> invested<\/strong> an <\/strong>undisclosed amount in a US hyperscale data center platform <\/strong>through a founding equity position, according to a press release<\/a>. The platform develops hyperscale data centers across the US, with capacity mainly going towards powering AI operations. It is eyeing scaling its overall capacity to upwards of 800 MW.<\/p>\n

Funds will go towards expansion efforts in the US<\/strong>, supporting site acquisitions, construction, and strategic partnerships to meet demand for AI and cloud infrastructure. The investment will also include capacity building for GCC markets. CEO Alain Baron will get a seat on the company\u2019s board.<\/span><\/p>\n

About VantageBridge:<\/strong> The ADGM-headquartered investment firm targets high-impact sectors across the GCC, including AI, healthcare, space, infrastructure, and education, using global capital. The investment firm invested<\/a> in the UAE\u2019s healthcare sector earlier this year through a partnership with Abu Dhabi Health Data Services, part of M42\u2019s Digital Health Solutions platform, and Silicon Valley-based research institute SRI International to establish an innovation hub in Abu Dhabi focusing on AI and healthcare research and development. <\/p>\n

The investment is the latest in a busy UAE-US pipeline<\/strong> that is anchored by a UAE commitment to invest USD 1.4 tn in US AI infrastructure over ten years. The two countries are also developing Stargate UAE<\/a>, the first deployment of the US\u2019 wider USD 500 bn Stargate infrastructure program<\/a>, and which will form part of a 5 GW US-UAE AI data center cluster<\/a> in Abu Dhabi. The US also recently greenlit<\/a> the export of some Nvidia chips to the UAE to use in US-linked infrastructure, and Microsoft is investing almost USD 8 bn<\/a> in the country by 2029. <\/p>\n
