Not exactly. The UAE is made up of 7 emirates. Abu Dhabi is one of them. Somewhat like a state government vs federal government in the US.

AMD originally sold less that an controlling interest in its Fabs in Dresden, Germany to Global Foundries. The stockholders after the sale were AMD and The Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) which was a technology investment company wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi.
Later ATIC obtained full ownership of GlobalFoundries and at that point GlobalFoundries became a subsidiary of Mubadala which is Abu Dhabi’s investment vehicle. GlobalFoundries also built a Fab in the Luther Forrest, NY that originally was the brainchild of Hector Ruiz, AMD’s previous CEO. Abu Dhabi is said to be the richest city in the world.
