UAE plans €40 billion investment push in Germany

The UAE says it intends to invest €40 billion—about $46 billion—in Germany, concentrating on industry, advanced technology, AI, digital infrastructure and energy. The announcement, made during President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s state visit, is a commitment to deploy capital rather than a single completed transaction; €10 billion is earmarked for Bavaria. Germany offers the UAE a deep base of manufacturers, researchers and technology companies, while Emirati capital can help fund large, long-lived projects in sectors that need enormous upfront spending. The two governments are also creating an investment council, signaling that the package is meant to turn an already substantial commercial relationship into a more organized pipeline of deals, rather than stand as a one-off pledge.
