G42 Speeds Through Transformation

G42 has been making strategic partnerships with big tech companies over the last year. G42 has tied up with Microsoft over billion dollars worth projects to help build AI capabilities in Middle Eastern countries and Kenya. Recently, Microsoft along with G42 announced two new AI centres in Abu Dhabi. 

G42 has even partnered with GPU king NVIDIA for generating climate solutions through the latter’s Earth-2 platform, in support of G42’s new climate tech lab at Abu Dhabi. 

At the recent AIM Cypher 2024, India’s largest AI summit, G42’s India CEO Manu Kumar Jain, announced their plans to establish the largest data centre in India, and introduced a local ‘Hinglish’ LLM named NANDA, after India’s second-highest peak. 

The financial details of the latest acquisition of CPX have not been disclosed. However, this move is expected to significantly bolster G42's capabilities in the competitive AI and cloud computing market, particularly as businesses increasingly prioritise security in their digital transformation efforts.
