The meetings were held to strengthen UAE-US economic and technological cooperation and to advance the UAE-US AI Acceleration Partnership, launched during US President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UAE and his meeting with President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Enhancing cooperation and expanding bilateral relations

Discussions focused on opportunities to further strengthen cooperation and expand bilateral relations across a range of sectors.

Both sides reviewed progress over the past year in UAE-US economic and technological cooperation, with the aim of continuing efforts to strengthen collaboration and accelerate progress towards strategic objectives across key sectors of mutual interest.

A foundation of trust and mutual growth

On the occasion, Khaldoon Al Mubarak said, “The UAE-US economic relationship is built on a foundation of trust and mutual growth. We are exceeding the commitments we made to the US one year ago.” “Despite regional and macroeconomic challenges, this partnership continues to deliver across key sectors, supporting jobs and economic opportunities with long-term impact. Together, we are accelerating the development of technology and energy infrastructure necessary to deepen economic investment.”

The two sides highlighted the UAE’s commitment to invest US$1.4 trillion in the US economy over ten years across strategic sectors of mutual interest, including energy, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence and advanced technology, and to advance the UAE-US AI Acceleration Partnership.

They also reviewed progress in economic and technological cooperation, which has exceeded first-year targets, reflecting the partnership’s growing priority and the UAE’s ability to translate strategic relationships into high-impact projects that support long-term economic growth.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence remains a central pillar of the partnership. Leading UAE companies, including MGX and G42, have made strategic investments across the AI value chain, spanning advanced semiconductors, large-scale AI infrastructure, AI laboratories and advanced applications.

Expanding technology ecosystem globally

At the same time, the UAE and the US are working to expand this technology ecosystem globally through the UAE-US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi, the largest facility of its kind outside the United States, with a planned capacity of 5 gigawatts. The first phase, with a capacity of 500 megawatts, is expected to be operational before the end of this year.

In the energy sector, UAE companies, including ADNOC, XRG and Masdar, have established and expanded major partnerships in power generation and energy infrastructure across the United States.

In advanced manufacturing, Emirates Global Aluminium is advancing plans to build the first new aluminium smelter in the United States in nearly 50 years, in Oklahoma, reflecting the growing global presence of UAE companies and their contribution to strategic industries and global value chains.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Mubadala Investment Company and L’Imad Holding are also expanding their investment footprint in the United States through strategic investments across several key sectors, supporting long-term economic diversification objectives.
