THE COMPANY

Intelligence in context.

M42 is an Abu Dhabi healthcare group combining clinical delivery, genomics, data systems and AI development. Formed through G42 Healthcare and Mubadala Health, it operates a broader health network rather than a standalone software startup. Its clinical language-model programme provides a specific, documented connection to AI development and healthcare applications.[1]

THE STORY SO FAR

How the story unfolds.

Bringing healthcare and technology together

M42 was established in 2023 through the combination of G42 Healthcare and Mubadala Health. That formation brought healthcare delivery together with capabilities including genomics and health technology. Its company account connects these activities with the use of AI and data in care. The resulting organisation has a different origin from an independent software startup or a standalone medical AI application.[1]
