The Middle East’s artificial intelligence market is accelerating due to large-scale national investments, strategic talent development, and cutting-edge infrastructure expansion. Notable government schemes include Saudi Arabia's $15 billion national AI champion and a $40 billion global AI investment fund, while the UAE has invested $6.6 billion in OpenAI and over $200 billion in an Abu Dhabi super campus to train advanced models. Major tech firms like AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, and Oracle have established new data centers, fueling both private and public sector adoption and substantially improving data residency and cloud access.

The region’s AI market is also fueled by robust venture capital activity — in 2024, 20% of all startup deals in MENA were AI-related, and funding surged by 66%, positioning AI as the fastest-growing tech sector. These drivers have led to AI’s presence in sectors such as fintech, healthcare, energy, and government, with AI’s economic contribution projected to reach $320 billion in the MENA region by the decade’s end, approximately 11% of the regional GDP. Strategic partnerships, talent acceleration initiatives, and widespread cloud computing investments continue to propel AI’s rapid integration and market dominance across the Middle East.
