Microsoft to build first engineering facility in the region in Abu Dhabi: <\/strong>Microsoft is establishing an engineering development center in Abu Dhabi, marking its inaugural engineering facility in the region, according to a press release<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The center will help upskill local talent: <\/strong>The center will focus on upskilling professionals and emerging talent in areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The company intends to achieve this through collaboration with local universities, training centers, and government programs to improve employability in tech-driven sectors.<\/p>\n

The tech giant has been expanding its footprint here: <\/strong>Microsoft last week<\/a> partnered up with G42 to open two artificial intelligence centers in Abu Dhabi to improve AI access in the Middle East and Global South.
