Robo.ai Inc., a UAE-based technology company focused on the AI machine economy, has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with Tachyon9 Corporation, a U.S.-based advanced data center infrastructure provider. The JV, majority owned by Robo.ai through its subsidiary Robo.ai Investments L.L.C.-FZ, will invest in, develop, and operate high-performance AI data centers and next-generation digital infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates and key global markets.
The JV builds on Robo.ai’s recent Gold Reseller agreement for advanced CPU, GPU, and AI inferencing hardware. By combining top-tier compute resources with Tachyon9’s high-efficiency data center expertise, the partnership optimizes costs, ensures service stability, and delivers scalable AI solutions to clients amid global capacity constraints.
Shahal Khan, Executive Chairman of Tachyon9, said: "The global edge-based AI data center market is projected to surpass $50 billion by 2030, with the Middle East and Asia capturing a rapidly growing share. Tachyon9's leadership in U.S. data center innovation, combined with Robo.ai's regional expertise in robotics and edge computing, creates a powerful platform to drive the next generation of AI infrastructure across these high-growth markets."
Benjamin Zhai, CEO of Robo.ai, said: "This Joint Venture completes a critical piece of our infrastructure puzzle. Having secured access to the 'compute engine' (chips) last week, we have now secured the 'chassis' (physical infrastructure). In an era of global capacity scarcity, this vertical integration ensures we can deliver stable, efficient, and scalable AI solutions to our clients."
The global AI sector faces a severe bottleneck: grid connection queues of 3–7 years and cooling demands that exceed traditional limits by 4–8x for modern GPUs. The JV targets rapid resolution through:
These solutions position the JV to capture significant value in high-growth APAC and MENA markets, supported by initiatives like the UAE’s “We The UAE 2031” vision and Saudi Arabia’s smart city projects.
