The strategic partnership between Microsoft and Abu Dhabi’s G42 aims to bolster AI innovation and expand global accessibility to cutting-edge technologies.
Microsoft continues its expansion into global artificial intelligence (AI) with a strategic partnership and $1.5 billion investment in the Abu Dhabi-based AI tech holding company G42.
In an announcement on April 16, Microsoft explained that the investment is aimed at propelling AI development forward and expanding the accessibility of cutting-edge technologies in both the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and on a global scale.
As part of the collaboration, G42 will run its AI applications and services using Microsoft’s AI computing platform Azure. The two entities stressed that the partnership will go beyond the Emirates but provide advanced AI solutions to clients in the “global public sector,” as well as large enterprises.
