Moro Hub and Rafay Join Forces to Launch Sovereign GPU-Powered PaaS for AI Innovation
Moro Hub, the innovative subsidiary of Digital DEWA—the digital arm of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has announced a strategic partnership with Rafay, a leading provider of modern infrastructure and AI workload platforms. The collaboration was formalized during GITEX Technology Week 2025, with the signing attended by Mohammed Bin Sulaiman, CEO of Moro Hub, and Mohan Atreya, Chief Product Officer at Rafay Systems.
This partnership is aimed at accelerating AI adoption across enterprises in the UAE and the broader region by offering a sovereign, GPU-powered Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The initiative will enable organizations to access state-of-the-art AI capabilities without the typical complexities and costs associated with deploying and managing advanced infrastructure.
Under this collaboration, Moro Hub will leverage the Rafay Platform to provide businesses with on-demand access to GPU infrastructure, generative AI services, and an extensive catalog of ready-to-use AI applications. Delivered via a secure, fully self-service portal, the platform ensures compliance with regional data governance standards while offering features like role-based access control (RBAC), integrated monitoring, and cost transparency.
Mohammed Bin Sulaiman emphasized the strategic significance of this initiative, stating, “Our collaboration with Rafay highlights Moro Hub’s commitment to driving AI adoption in the UAE and beyond. By providing sovereign, GPU-powered PaaS, we are empowering enterprises to tap into advanced AI capabilities in a secure, scalable, and compliant environment. This aligns perfectly with the UAE’s broader digital transformation and sustainability objectives.”
The partnership brings together Moro Hub’s trusted, government-backed digital ecosystem with Rafay’s expertise in infrastructure automation, creating a seamless environment for AI innovation. Enterprises and government entities can now deploy next-generation AI solutions without the operational burdens of managing underlying infrastructure. This allows teams to concentrate on innovation, improving operational efficiency, and unlocking measurable business value while ensuring adherence to strict regional data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
Haseeb Budhani, highlighting the benefits for enterprises, said, “Together with Moro Hub, we are simplifying AI deployment for companies in the UAE. Teams no longer need to worry about managing infrastructure, scaling GPU clusters, or tracking AI investments. They can focus entirely on delivering tangible business impact with AI.”
Budhani further added, “Through this partnership, Moro Hub gains instant access to high-performance compute resources and the flexibility to run workloads anywhere, all with full visibility into system performance, costs, and compliance. This empowers organizations to innovate faster while maintaining governance and security standards.”
The joint offering provides a comprehensive AI ecosystem, including generative AI services and prebuilt applications, enabling businesses to accelerate research, development, and deployment of AI initiatives. With integrated cost management and governance controls, enterprises can adopt AI at scale with confidence, avoiding the operational complexity traditionally associated with GPU-intensive workloads.
By combining the strengths of Moro Hub and Rafay, this partnership sets a new benchmark for AI-driven digital transformation in the region. Enterprises gain access to a highly agile, scalable, and secure platform that meets the demands of today’s fast-evolving digital economy. Moreover, it reinforces the UAE’s position as a regional hub for AI innovation and technology leadership.
The Moro Hub-Rafay alliance exemplifies the growing trend of public-private collaborations that leverage advanced technology to enable enterprise growth and digital maturity. As more organizations in the UAE embrace AI, solutions like this GPU-powered PaaS will be critical in lowering barriers to adoption, accelerating innovation cycles, and creating a sustainable, competitive advantage in the global AI landscape.
With a focus on security, compliance, and performance, Moro Hub and Rafay are providing a turnkey solution for enterprises and government entities eager to harness the power of AI. By removing infrastructure challenges and operational overhead, organizations can fully concentrate on applying AI to solve real-world problems, enhance efficiency, and drive long-term business value.
This initiative not only strengthens the UAE’s digital ecosystem but also offers a model for other regions seeking to accelerate AI adoption while maintaining sovereignty and compliance standards. The Moro Hub and Rafay partnership underscores the transformative potential of combining government-backed digital infrastructure with innovative AI platform solutions.
