Abu Dhabi technology group connecting AI infrastructure, investment and industry applications through a portfolio of operating companies.[1]
G42 is an Abu Dhabi technology group whose businesses develop artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure and industry applications. Its portfolio connects computing capacity with applied AI in areas including healthcare and public services. The group is included as an ecosystem organisation, with operating subsidiaries identified separately rather than represented as unrelated startups.[1]
G42 dates its beginnings to 2018. Its fifth-anniversary account describes an initial team of around 30 people and the subsequent development of businesses spanning cloud infrastructure, geospatial intelligence and healthcare. The formation of M42 with Mubadala in 2023 is one milestone in that expansion. This history helps explain why G42 is best understood as a technology group rather than a single AI product.[4]
