UAE Sovereign Launchpad Now Available for Government and Business Use

UAE Sovereign Launchpad: Elevating Digital Security in the UAE

In a significant development for cloud computing and cybersecurity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the UAE Sovereign Launchpad platform has officially launched for commercial use. This initiative, introduced by global technology company e and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), aims to support both government and regulated sectors in adopting secure cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI).

Aligning with National Cybersecurity Policy

The launch of this platform is aligned with the UAE’s national cybersecurity strategy and has received approval from the UAE Cybersecurity Council. The UAE Sovereign Launchpad is designed to provide organizations, including government agencies, with enhanced security, compliance, and data governance, essential features in today’s digital landscape.

The platform allows for the deployment of various workloads, while ensuring that highly sensitive data remains secure by restricting the use of classified workloads labeled as Secret and Top Secret. This careful approach not only meets local regulatory needs but fosters an environment conducive to innovation across regulated industries, such as healthcare, finance, education, space, and oil and gas sectors.

A Robust Solution for Regulated Industries

Launched amidst growing pressure on industries in the region to protect critical data and comply with increasing regulatory demands, the UAE Sovereign Launchpad offers a robust yet cost-effective solution. It creates a digital space where data governance, compliance, and innovation work in concert, setting a new standard for digital infrastructure in the UAE.

His Excellency Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, head of cybersecurity for the UAE government, commented, "The UAE Sovereign Launchpad marks a pivotal moment in our nation’s digital transformation journey. This collaboration showcases how we can leverage global cloud computing innovations while adhering to national cybersecurity policies. By providing a framework that aligns with cloud security regulations, we empower government entities and regulated industries to accelerate their adoption of advanced technologies in AI and cloud computing. This initiative not only enhances our cyber resilience but also reinforces the UAE’s position as a leader in secure digital innovation."

Fostering Innovation and Compliance

Khalid Murshed, CEO of e enterprise, expressed pride in the launch of the platform, stating, "We are delighted to roll out this unique platform that accelerates the secure adoption of cloud computing in the UAE. By collaborating with AWS and the UAE Cybersecurity Council, we empower organizations and enterprises to meet their compliance and regulatory objectives without compromising on innovation or agility. With the UAE Sovereign Launchpad, organizations can confidently deploy their workloads on AWS, knowing that compliance and security are embedded within the platform’s architecture."

Tanuja Randery, Managing Director and Vice President of AWS for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, also highlighted that the solution not only meets UAE regulations but also features a production-ready cloud architecture managed locally by e enterprise. This comprehensive deployment marks a transformative step in the regional digital revolution by enabling both public and private sectors to transition to cloud computing confidently.

Building a Resilient Digital Ecosystem

Integrating systematic security controls, key management options, and automated compliance reporting, the UAE Sovereign Launchpad allows organizations to focus on innovation while fulfilling their regulatory and governance responsibilities. Originally announced in May 2025, the platform supports the UAE’s vision for creating a reliable, compliant, and resilient digital ecosystem as part of the broader initiative to accelerate cloud computing and AI adoption in public and regulated sectors.

Organizations can immediately access the UAE Sovereign Launchpad through e enterprise, beginning with a readiness assessment or directly proceeding to production deployment.
