UAE Sovereign Launchpad: A New Era in Cloud Computing

The UAE Sovereign Launchpad, a state-of-the-art cloud platform developed by e, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), has officially gone live and is now commercially available across the United Arab Emirates. As part of the UAE's National Cybersecurity Strategy and endorsed by the UAE Cybersecurity Council, this platform aims to provide robust security measures, compliance standards, and data governance for innovation across various sectors.

What is the UAE Sovereign Launchpad?
