Ahmed Yahia Al Idrissi brings an unusual combination of hands-on operating experience from chairing boards at major industrial and technology companies like GlobalFoundries and Emirates Global Aluminium with his role building Abu Dhabi's large-scale investment platforms, now applied to AI investing at MGX. He focuses MGX on AI infrastructure and real-economy deployment rather than pure software applications, while positioning the fund as unusually US-centric for a UAE sovereign vehicle, with 70-80% of capital expected to go to US-based projects.
