Left in the Dust: How Dubai & Riyadh Are Racing Ahead While Europe Idles 1 | The Compass Has Shifted A few years ago, the tech spotlight fell almost exclusively on Silicon Valley. Today, the world’s most eye-catching deals are signed in the Gulf. Abu Dhabi’s G42 is pouring US $20 billion into the “Stargate” AI megacluster, designed to import half a million Nvidia chips every year. Meanwhile Amazon Web Services is building a US $5.3 billion “AI Zone” in Riyadh, and Oracle has pledged US $14 billion for regional cloud capacity. When U.S. giants voluntarily plant their crown-jewel technology in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, a new gravity center is obvious — and Europe is nowhere near it. #InnovationEconomy #Startups #ScaleUp #ArtificialIntelligence #DubaiTech #SaudiVision2030 #MiddleEastVC #DigitalAgenda #VentureCapital #TechPolicy #D33 #EuropeLags #GatewayToDubai Gateway to Dubai Michael Mateer Nayef Alhajraf Alex Johnson Dr. Thomas Goergen Mark Lougher Taghreed Almashari Sultan Al-Mansour Dr. Sultan Al Jaber Saleh ALhammad Chris McDonald Mario Mühlegger Urs Bolt 博尔特 Roger H.
