du has signed a MoU with Open Innovation AI to accelerate the adoption of an agentic AI workforce across government entities and enterprises.
Supported by the UAE Cyber Security Council, du and Open Innovation AI launched the partnership to strengthen the country’s sovereign AI sector.
The companies signed the agreement during the Digital Readiness Retreat 2026 in Dubai.
The collaboration integrates the certified National Hypercloud platform of du Tech with the AI infrastructure workload orchestration fabric of Open Innovation AI.
This enables public and private organisations to deploy and scale autonomous agentic AI workloads while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cyber Security Council, said:
“Following our recent certification of the du Tech National Hypercloud, this homegrown collaboration represents the secure in-country AI infrastructure orchestration the UAE requires to protect its data and digital future.”
Both parties will explore technical integration to enable graphics processing unit (GPU) orchestration and AI resource management capabilities.
The initiative ensures locally governed capabilities to power the AI-driven economy of the nation, keeping data firmly within UAE jurisdiction.
Jasim Al Awadi, Chief ICT Officer at du, said:
“By merging the certified National Hypercloud of du Tech with the orchestration platform of Open Innovation AI, we are delivering the foundational compute engine required for secure, in-country agentic AI deployment.”
