G42 Teams With Microsoft To Boost UAE Cloud Infrastructure
The collaboration will also focus on AI solutions for the health, life science, energy, and sustainability sectors.
Abu Dhabi-based AI and cloud computing company G42 and US tech powerhouse Microsoft have announced the next phase of their strategic partnership to overhaul and expand cloud and technology infrastructure across the United Arab Emirates.
G42 will deliver advanced AI solutions, while Microsoft will help to expand existing data center infrastructure and Azure cloud services in the Emirates, according to an announcement made on Monday.
“This strategic collaboration with Microsoft is not just about technology […] it’s about creating a holistic ecosystem for societal resilience and growth,” explained Peng Xiao, group chief executive of G42.
“By combining our respective expertise and shared forward-thinking approach, we aim to not only transform industries but also create positive economic opportunities and lasting impacts on the well-being of individuals, communities, and society as a whole,” Mr Xiao continued.
The two companies will also focus on bringing AI solutions to various sectors, including health, life sciences, energy, sustainability, and other projects of national significance, such as the Cop28 climate summit to be held in Dubai later this year.
According to a study released last October, Microsoft expects its portfolio of cloud services to add over $39 billion to the UAE economy over the next four years, along with the creation of 100,000 jobs.
