Nvidia Corp. will collaborate with a G42 unit to build data centers powered by its Blackwell chips, a sign of how the United Arab Emirates’ access to the latest generation of semiconductors has improved since US President Donald Trump’s May trip to the Middle East.

Khazna, a data center developer majority-owned by G42, plans to use the chips to develop artificial intelligence clusters of as much as 250 megawatts, Khazna said in a statement Wednesday. Nvidia certified the design of the facilities to support its Blackwell architecture, it said.
