Microsoft Corp. is expanding its partnership with Abu Dhabi’s Group 42, and
plans to offer sovereign cloud infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates.

The move will give the UAE public sector and regulated industries access to
cloud and artificial intelligence features on Microsoft’s Azure, and help them
comply with local privacy and regulatory requirements, the companies said.

“With data privacy, security, and compliance as our core priorities, we have a
unique opportunity to help organizations responsibly innovate,” Microsoft Chief
Commercial Officer Judson Althoff said.

Over time, the firms will look to bring industry-specific AI solutions on
significant projects, including potentially the COP28 climate summit, set to be
held in Dubai later this year. The partnership will see Microsoft expand its
Azure service in the UAE through Khazna Data Centers, a joint venture company
between G42 and Emirates Telecom.



G42, chaired by National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
has been at the forefront of Abu Dhabi’s push into AI. It’s partnering with
Cerebras Systems Inc., which recently built the first of nine AI supercomputers
as an alternative to sys-tems using Nvidia Corp. technology. And last month, the
firms un-veiled what they called “the world’s highest quality Arabic Large
Language Model.”

The Abu Dhabi-based company’s businesses range from cloud computing to
driverless cars. Last year, it set up the $10 billion 42XFund to invest in
technology companies across emerging markets.
