Nvidia & UAE Launch AI-Robotics Lab in TII to Build Regional Innovation Hub

Nvidia has teamed up with Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII) to launch a joint AI and robotics research lab — the first Nvidia AI Technology Center in the Middle East. The center will focus on robotics, humanoids, robotic arms, and advanced AI computing using Nvidia’s new Thor chip. The lab supports the UAE’s strategic push to become a global AI leader, and aims to attract talent and investment. Observers see this as part of a broader trend of tech firms expanding R&D outside traditional hubs.
