Abu Dhabi’s Department of Government Enablement has announced an agreement with Microsoft and Core42, a G42 company specialising in sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure and digital services. G42 is an artificial intelligence development company based in Abu Dhabi.
The agreement, say the partners, will create a unified, high-performance sovereign cloud computing environment capable of processing more than 11 million daily digital interactions between Abu Dhabi government entities, citizens, residents and businesses.
The government’s ambition is to enable the world’s first fully AI-native government by 2027, one committed to three goals in particular: enhancing government services to be more efficient and accessible for citizens and residents; creating greater transparency and security for businesses and investors; and fostering a more resilient and innovative environment for the public sector workforce.
Abu Dhabi aims to automate 100% of its government processes, supported by US$3.54 billion investment in digital infrastructure through the Abu Dhabi Government Digital Strategy 2025-2027.
This strategy will see over 200 AI-driven solutions deployed to improve public service delivery, boost operational productivity, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
In fact the government can already cite innovations such as TAMM 3.0, Abu Dhabi’s one-stop government services app, which has reduced the number of offline customer visits by 90% and made more than 73% of transactions instantaneous.
G42 was in the news recently when G42 and Thailand International Digital Business & Finance Centre (TIDC) announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing Thailand’s digital infrastructure, particularly in cloud technology and AI innovation.
We also reported in February that UAE-based telco e& had sold its 40% stake in another UAE company, Khazna Data Centres, to co-owner G42 for US$2.2 billion.
