USD 200m Quantum Fund Unites Israel, U.S., UAE and Saudi Arabia

Categories: Hi-Tech

Israel and the United States are launching a joint USD 200m quantum computing fund, with the UAE and Saudi Arabia expected to join as strategic partners.

Spearheaded by Maj. Gen. (res.) Tamir Hayman and U.S. congressional leaders, the initiative aims to elevate quantum technology as a cross-border priority—advancing regional cooperation through deep-tech investment.

The fund reflects a new wave of Middle East diplomacy centered on science and innovation, expanding the legacy of the Abraham Accords. By pooling capital and research capabilities, the participating countries seek to build shared quantum infrastructure, talent pipelines, and commercial pathways in an increasingly competitive tech landscape.

More than a funding vehicle, the initiative represents a geopolitical signal: collaboration on critical technologies like quantum computing may now underpin broader regional alignment.
