UAE–India Energy & Defence Push: PM Narendra Modi’s UAE stop turned into a deal sprint: India and Abu Dhabi signed pacts on defence industrial collaboration, cyber and maritime security, plus energy moves including UAE participation in India’s strategic crude reserves up to 30 million barrels, long-term LPG supply, and broader LNG/storage cooperation—alongside a $5bn investment package. Hormuz Tensions: Modi urged an “open and safe” Strait of Hormuz as regional shipping disruptions keep oil markets jumpy, while UAE–Iran blame games continue. AI Security & Confidential Tech: Abu Dhabi’s TII tech transfer to US-based OPAQUE boosts cryptographic AI for confidential training/inference, and the AI Security Forum lands at ISNR 2026 (19–21 May) to spotlight AI in national security. Abu Dhabi Immersive Entertainment: Sphere Abu Dhabi is confirmed for Yas Island with a $1.7bn construction phase, targeting completion by end-2029. Local Tech/Health: M42 launched an AI kidney-care platform (kidney.com) for personalised support. Markets: UAE stocks slid as US–Iran deadlock weighed on risk appetite.
