# e& UAE and Ankabut Renew AI-Ready Research Network Partnership

e& UAE and Ankabut, the country’s national research and education network, renewed an agreement on 10 September 2026 to improve connectivity for universities and research institutions.

The next phase is intended to expand secure network capacity for advanced research, cloud services, AI workloads and collaboration with international research networks. The partners say the work will provide high-capacity digital connections for institutions that need to move and process large amounts of data.

The agreement is a distinct infrastructure development for e& UAE. It may support research and digital skills across the education sector, although the announcement did not specify a timetable for each upgrade or any new job openings. Readers should treat the planned capabilities as partnership goals until deployments are confirmed.
