“At Make it in the Emirates, we demonstrated the future of technology manufacturing in the UAE. Our live production demonstration proved that the region can produce the same quality of IT infrastructure as any global manufacturing hub.”

The OKAM line features enterprise-grade servers based on the latest Intel and AMD chipsets, meeting the diverse needs of companies across the region, ranging from operating cloud services to supporting advanced computing applications.
Meanwhile, UQLEAD servers are crafted with a laser focusing on high-performance computing and AI workloads.

The initiative falls in line with the UAE’s broader industrial ambitions and reinforces the country’s ability to produce advanced, globally competitive technological products. By enabling local production of enterprise IT systems, Kerno is helping reduce regional reliance on imports while flourishing job opportunities and strengthening the UAE’s technological capabilities.
