Abu Dhabi-based MGX has closed a $49 billion fund dedicated to artificial intelligence deals, establishing itself as one of the world's largest AI investors just two years after its founding.

The massive capital raise positions MGX among the most influential players in the rapidly expanding AI investment landscape. The two-year-old firm has moved quickly to establish itself as a consequential force in funding artificial intelligence ventures and infrastructure. The fund size underscores the escalating competition for deployment capital in AI, driven by surging demand from enterprises and governments seeking to integrate advanced technologies. MGX joins a growing roster of mega-funds targeting the sector, including venture arms from major tech companies and sovereign wealth funds. Abu Dhabi's investment strategy in AI reflects broader regional efforts to diversify beyond oil revenues and build technology capabilities. The emirate has positioned itself as a hub for AI innovation and investment through various initiatives and partnerships. The capital gives MGX significant firepower to pursue large-scale deals, infrastructure projects, and strategic investments across the AI ecosystem.
