Headquartered in Dubai, building for the 50% agentic-government target
GridStudio is a Dubai-headquartered AI infrastructure and software group. We help UAE federal and emirate entities, banks and enterprises plan compute, deploy sovereign AI and ship agentic services.
50%
of federal government services and operations
On 23 April 2026 the UAE Cabinet set a two-year target: half of government sectors, services and operations run on autonomous, agentic AI, with ministers and federal entities assessed on how fast they adopt it.
1 GW
Stargate UAE in Abu Dhabi
The first 200 MW phase of the Stargate UAE cluster is targeted for 2026. Compute is becoming a national asset, and agencies now plan capacity, not just licences.
2031
National Strategy for AI
The UAE appointed the world's first Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence in 2017 and runs its programme against the National Strategy for AI 2031.
Task-scoped agents for citizen and business services, with named human owners, audit trails and the performance evidence the federal assessment asks for.
Sizing, procuring and operating GPU capacity in-country: buy, rent from a UAE provider or run hybrid, with power and cooling designed for the Gulf climate.
Retrieval over Arabic and English records, fine-tuned where general models miss Gulf dialects and government terminology.
Managed AI operations for entities that want outcomes, not a new platform team: monitoring, evaluation, cost per task and incident response.
This is a design checklist, not legal advice. Your counsel signs off.

The UAE Cabinet wants half of federal services and operations on agentic AI within two years. Here is a practical sequence for entities that have to deliver it.
Every government now wants AI it controls. A practical way to decide which layers to own, which to buy and which to run with a partner.
Buying GPUs, reserving cloud capacity or using GPU-as-a-service: how Gulf enterprises and agencies should decide, workload by workload.
Yes. GridStudio is headquartered in Dubai, at Arenco Tower in Dubai Internet City, and is a member of the Dubai AI Campus in DIFC. We also have offices in Istanbul, Lisbon, New York and Cairo.
Yes. We design for in-country residency by default: open-weight or licensed models hosted in UAE data centres or on the client's own estate, with logs that show where every inference ran. Air-gapped deployments are possible where the data classification requires it.
We start with a service inventory: which services are high volume, rule-based and low risk enough to move first. Then we build agents for those with human sign-off and audit trails, and measure resolution, time saved and cost per task so the entity can report progress.
Yes. We are provider-neutral: we size the workload, compare UAE sovereign cloud, hyperscaler regions and owned GPUs, and recommend the option with the best total cost and compliance fit.
Tell us the mandate, the data and the deadline. We will tell you what we have built before and what it would take.
