Cisco joined OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, and SoftBank Group on May 22, 2025, in a partnership to help build a sweeping Stargate artificial intelligence campus in the United Arab Emirates. This massive project will span 10 square miles and have a 5-gigawatt capacity.
Cisco Systems will provide the essential connectivity infrastructure for this AI campus, leveraging its expertise in networking and security. OpenAI and Oracle are slated to manage a 1-gigawatt compute cluster built by Emirati firm G42, with chips from Nvidia.
This major strategic partnership expands Cisco's global footprint in AI infrastructure development, particularly in the Middle East. It positions Cisco as a critical enabler for large-scale AI build-outs, leveraging its networking expertise alongside leading AI and cloud providers to empower the country's bold vision for AI.
