G42 is an Abu Dhabi-based AI and cloud computing group backed by the Abu Dhabi royal family and Mubadala Investment Company, operating a portfolio of AI subsidiaries spanning cloud infrastructure, healthcare AI, smart city technology, genomics, and foundation model development. The group provides AI cloud services and applied AI solutions to government agencies and enterprises across the UAE and international markets, and has made significant investments in AI chip supply and data center infrastructure.\n\nGovernment-backed with a reported valuation exceeding $10 billion, G42 received a $1.5 billion strategic investment from Microsoft in 2024, giving Microsoft a significant stake and providing G42 with Azure cloud technology and global commercial partnerships. The group subsidiaries include CPH (cloud and AI infrastructure), Presight AI (big data analytics), and Bayanat (geospatial data), creating a vertically integrated UAE national AI platform spanning compute, data, and applications.\n\nG42 competes in the Middle East AI market while facing scrutiny from US government officials regarding its historical relationships with Huawei and Chinese technology companies, which led to restrictions on its access to advanced US AI chips. The Microsoft investment included commitments from G42 regarding technology governance and data security that addressed some of these concerns. The group position as a state-backed AI champion reflects UAE national AI strategy ambitions to establish Abu Dhabi as a global AI hub, with G42 serving as the primary vehicle for government-directed AI investment and deployment.
