G42, a renowned UAE-based artificial intelligence and advanced technology group, has announced the launch of G42 Europe & UK, a subsidiary headquartered in London. The establishment of the new entity follows the recent announcements of data centres and compute clusters in France and Italy, and rising interest from several other countries across the region.
In a press release, G42 said that the entity will leverage G42’s network of supercomputing nodes, data centres, and AI capabilities to deliver scalable, secure end-to-end AI services, from strategic advisory and model development to infrastructure deployment and managed services, for sectors ranging from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing and energy. The new entity will also collaborate with national and regional bodies to advance data-sovereignty initiatives and support the rollout of next-generation AI infrastructure.
G42 Europe & UK will be co-chaired by Omar Mir, International Board Member at World Wide Technology, and Marty Edelman, Group General Counsel of G42.
“Our goal is to harness G42’s proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses – fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders,” said Omar Mir, Co-Chair of G42 Europe & UK.
“UK & Europe represents a dynamic market with immense opportunity for AI-driven innovation,” said Marty Edelman, Co-Chair and Group General Counsel, G42. “By establishing a dedicated hub in London, we strengthen our ability to serve clients with deep regulatory understanding and world-class technology solutions.”
G42 is already a well established name in the Middle East and has entered into several international partnerships, most notably with Microsoft to accelerate AI adoption in the Middle East. It is also part of the newly launched Stargate UAE. Meanwhile, Khazna Data Centres, majority owned by G42 also recently partnered with NVIDIA to build AI factories across the MEA region.
