Kerno showcases UAE-built sovereign compute platform at MIITE 2026
Abu Dhabi: Kerno, the UAE’s first enterprise-grade IT hardware manufacturer, is participating in the “Make it in the Emirates Exhibition” (MIITE) 2026, where it is presenting its locally developed compute infrastructure and outlining the expansion of its domestic manufacturing operations, in response to rapidly growing demand for sovereign AI infrastructure in the region.
The company’s participation comes amid increasing regional focus on strengthening local technology capabilities and building resilient digital infrastructure. Kerno is exhibiting at the Advanced Manufacturing, AI and Industry 4.0 hall as part of broader efforts aligned with the UAE’s industrial development strategy.
Kerno’s approach centers on localizing key stages of the technology value chain, including local research and development, manufacturing, deployment, and lifecycle support. This model is designed to address growing demand for infrastructure that supports data control, operational resilience, and alignment with national priorities.
Christopher Caswell, CEO and Co-Founder, Kerno, stated: “MIITE is more than an exhibition — it is a statement of intent. Every year, it signals that the UAE is not content to be a passive recipient of global technology trends. It is determined to build, create, and own more of the critical capabilities that will shape its future.
