Anthropic in funding talks with Abu Dhabi’s MGX, others in Middle East

Investing.com -- Anthropic is in early funding talks with Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly met with MGX representatives, including CEO Ahmed Yahia Al Idrissi, during a Middle East tour this month to discuss raising additional capital. The discussions were preliminary and part of a broader effort to build partnerships in the region.

During the trip, Amodei and other senior Anthropic executives met with political and business leaders in Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The visits aimed to strengthen relationships in the region, with Amodei previously stating the necessity of accepting Middle Eastern.

Beyond funding, Anthropic is working to secure computing capacity in the Middle East for its AI products. Amodei met with officials from G42, an Abu Dhabi-based AI company that has previously collaborated with OpenAI on data center development in the United Arab Emirates.
