Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX has raised close to $50 billion from a mix of regional and global investors to speed up its artificial intelligence activities, according to people familiar with the matter. Bloomberg reports the funding round is intended to accelerate spending on AI infrastructure and related technology as MGX pursues more AI deals. The Next Web similarly says MGX secures nearly $50 billion for an AI-focused fund, noting that this is the first time the emirate leans heavily on outside investors for a fund of this scale. Both accounts describe the initiative as part of MGX’s broader positioning for the AI era and indicate that funds are being deployed soon after the raise. Neither source provides detailed terms of the financing, specific investors, or a breakdown of spending categories. The information comes from sources familiar with the transaction rather than from MGX’s public disclosures in the excerpts provided.
