  • Plans for AI infrastructure in Qatar
  • ‘Select’ international markets
  • Aims to attract investment and talent

Qatar’s new state-owned artificial intelligence company Qai and Canada-based Brookfield are partnering to establish a $20 billion joint venture focused on AI infrastructure in Qatar and international markets. 

As part of the deal, Brookfield and Qai, a subsidiary of the Qatar Investment Authority, will contribute capital and operating expertise to develop AI infrastructure in Qatar.

The partnership will benefit from support from the Qatari government, which will invest in skill development and build the supply chain needed to support the backbone of AI infrastructure in the Gulf country, Brookfield said in a statement.

Brookfield and Qai will also explore opportunities to co-develop and construct AI infrastructure in “select” international markets.

The Canadian asset manager intends to invest in the joint venture through its Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund. 

The partnership with Qai will form a cornerstone of Brookfield’s global AI infrastructure programme, which aims to mobilise up to $100 billion.

  • KIA joins Brookfield’s $10bn AI initiative
  • The region must innovate to move beyond ‘AI wrappers’

Abdulla Hamad Al Misnad, chairman of Qai, said the collaboration with Brookfield will not only attract investment and top-tier talent but strengthen Qatar’s position as a trusted centre for advanced digital technologies.

Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, said this was the company’s first AI infrastructure investment in the Middle East.

To diversify its economy and build expertise in fields such as AI, quantum computing and renewable energy, Qatar has been investing in global tech companies, including Elon Musk’s xAI.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
