Mubadala and Together AI announced a strategic partnership on 29 September to explore AI infrastructure and ecosystem opportunities in the UAE. Together AI said it will establish a presence in Abu Dhabi, bringing inference and research capabilities closer to regional developers and customers.

The announcement follows Mubadala’s $100 million participation in Together AI’s Series C, announced on 1 July. It does not disclose a new project budget, a data-centre capacity or a deployment timetable. For regional buyers, the useful next evidence will be the services offered locally, data-location terms and announced customers. The partnership concerns the UAE and a U.S. company; it should not be described as an Israel–UAE agreement.
