U.S.-based Positron AI, a company specialized in developing next-generation infrastructure for AI inference, has announced the establishment of its first office outside the United States at Dubai International Financial Centre.

The move marks an important step in the company’s regional expansion, following its licensing by Dubai International Financial Centre, and comes at a time of rapid growth in demand for computing solutions linked to artificial intelligence.

The company has raised more than $300 million in funding, including a $230 million Series B round, which has helped strengthen its position as a billion-dollar company in the AI infrastructure sector.

AI inference drives global demand for computing

Positron AI’s expansion into Dubai comes as AI inference becomes one of the main drivers of global computing demand.

AI inference refers to the ability to deploy, operate, and scale artificial intelligence systems efficiently and reliably, while keeping them economically viable and able to function within real-world constraints.

Through its technologies, the company aims to reduce the cost of inference, increase memory density, and improve energy efficiency, positioning itself as an advanced alternative to traditional AI hardware suppliers.

Supporting Dubai’s artificial intelligence ecosystem

Hosni Khafash, Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Positron AI, said the company’s move to Dubai International Financial Centre reflects its commitment to innovation and to developing advanced infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

He noted that Positron AI’s focus on practical, deployable solutions and data-driven architectures is expected to support the wider ecosystem, especially as demand accelerates for scalable AI capabilities.

Khafash added that the company’s presence at Dubai International Financial Centre will allow it to engage more closely with the industry, regulators, and partners, while contributing to Dubai’s ambition to build a smart and digital infrastructure capable of competing globally.

A new addition to Dubai AI Campus

Mohammad Alblooshi, Chief Executive Officer of DIFC Innovation Hub, said the addition of Positron AI to the Dubai AI Campus ecosystem supports the next phase of growth in Dubai’s technology and innovation sector.

He said the company’s approach to AI inference infrastructure is aligned with Dubai International Financial Centre’s direction to integrate artificial intelligence capabilities into its legal frameworks, operating environment, and infrastructure.

Alblooshi added that the company’s expansion strengthens DIFC’s role as a launchpad for global companies and as a gateway for future industries, while helping set advanced standards for AI governance and responsible innovation.

Atlas and Titan servers

Positron AI’s first-generation server, Atlas, was designed to deliver large language model inference for small and medium-sized models of up to 500 billion active parameters.

According to the company, Atlas provides performance comparable to DGX-H100 servers, but with lower cost and reduced energy consumption, giving it an important advantage as demand grows for more efficient AI solutions.

Positron AI is also preparing to launch its next-generation product, Titan, in the first quarter of 2027, a step expected to strengthen its capabilities in the advanced AI infrastructure market.

The choice of Dubai International Financial Centre as the location for Positron AI’s first international office highlights Dubai’s growing position as a global hub for technology and innovation, and as an attractive destination for companies specializing in artificial intelligence and advanced digital infrastructure.
