G42Invent a Better Everyday
Abu Dhabi AI powerhouse backed by Microsoft ($1.5B) and Silver Lake, building sovereign AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and applied AI solutions. 25,000+ employees. Partner on Stargate UAE with OpenAI.
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
G42 is the crown jewel of Abu Dhabi's AI ambitions — a state-backed conglomerate chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan that secured a landmark $1.5B investment from Microsoft in April 2024. The company subsequently received White House authorization for advanced AI chip exports, unlocking Stargate UAE — a 1-gigawatt AI compute cluster built with OpenAI, Oracle, NVIDIA, and SoftBank.
With 25,000+ employees across 85+ nationalities, G42 operates through subsidiaries like Core42 (sovereign cloud) and Presight AI (publicly listed big data analytics). Its footprint extends from molecular biology to space exploration, positioning it not as a tech company but as an AI-first industrial conglomerate with geopolitical significance.
