G42, the leading UAE-based artificial intelligence and advanced technology group, today announced the launch of G42 Europe & UK, a subsidiary headquartered in London.

 

The entity will focus on delivering tailored AI solutions to Europe and UK's private sector and partnering with governments and industry to support the build-out of critical AI infrastructure across the UK and continental Europe, said a statement from G42.

 

G42 Europe & UK will be co-chaired by two seasoned technology leaders, Omar Mir and Marty Edelman.

 

The establishment of the new entity follows G42’s growing momentum in Europe, marked by recent announcements of data centres and compute clusters in France and Italy, and rising interest from several other countries across the region.

 

As the International Board Member at World Wide Technology, Mir brings over 20 years of global tech-industry experience. At WWT, Mir has spearheaded transformative initiatives across UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East, driving growth in 5G, edge computing, cloud, and AI services and solutions.

 

In his role as Group General Counsel of G42, Edelman will oversee legal and compliance strategy across the Group’s diverse global operations and has been instrumental in shaping G42’s governance framework as it extends into new markets.

 

On his new role, Mir said: "I am honoured to co-chair G42 Europe & UK at this pivotal moment. Our goal is to harness G42’s proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses - fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders."

 

Edelman said: "UK & Europe represents a dynamic market with immense opportunity for AI-driven innovation. By establishing a dedicated hub in London, we strengthen our ability to serve clients with deep regulatory understanding and world-class technology solutions."

 

G42 said its Europe & UK subsidiary will leverage its world-class network of supercomputing nodes, data centres and AI capabilities to deliver scalable, secure end-to-end AI services, from strategic advisory and model development to infrastructure deployment and managed services, for sectors ranging from financial services and healthcare to manufacturing and energy.

 

The new entity will also collaborate with national and regional bodies to advance data-sovereignty initiatives and support the rollout of next-generation AI infrastructure, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
