Abu Dhabi's MGX fund has raised around $50 billion（約8兆円） for AI investments, positioning itself as one of the world's largest dedicated AI funds and reflecting the region's push to diversify its economy through the technology.

What happened

Abu Dhabi's MGX, chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed (the UAE's national security adviser), raised around $50 billion（約8兆円） from regional sovereign wealth funds and global investors. The fund, launched in 2024, has already invested in funding rounds for OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic.

What to watch

MGX was initially backed by two other Abu Dhabi funds, Mubadala and G42, showing how regional institutions are coordinating to build AI investment capacity at a global scale.
