The United Arab Emirates has pledged to invest €40 billion ($46 billion) in Germany, focusing on digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence and energy. The package includes plans for about 1 gigawatt of new data-center capacity, with Germany undertaking to support the conditions needed to bring the facilities online. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan discussed the initiative with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz during a state visit to Berlin. The countries also announced 29 commercial agreements worth more than €9.3 billion, agreed to establish a German-Emirati investment council, and expanded cooperation on security, defense and energy. The commitment adds to an estimated €34 billion UAE investment footprint in Germany and comes as Europe increases spending on AI computing infrastructure.
