Abu Dhabi, July 5 / WAM / The UAE has established its position as a pioneering global center in the field of artificial intelligence during the first half of 2025, driven by a huge forward -looking vision and strategic investments, and foregoing government initiatives that enhance their technological capabilities and accelerate digital transformation across all sectors.

The G42 group stands out as one of the tributaries of this momentum, as it contributed to its ambitious projects and its global partnerships in establishing the UAE’s position as an advanced center of artificial intelligence at the regional and international levels, reinforcing the state’s ability to attract investments, transfer and localization of technology, and accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence solutions across various vital sectors.

In this context, Ping Xiao, CEO of the G42 Group, stressed in a statement to Emirates News Agency, WAM, that the first half of 2025 witnessed a detailed shift for the group as it made a big way towards achieving its vision to build the “Intelligence Network”, with the launch of the “Stargate Emirates” project and the UAE -American IQ complex with a capacity of 5 GWAts in Abu Dhabi in partnership with international companies Like Openai, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco and SoftBank, to consolidate the emirate’s position as a global artificial intelligence center, supported by local governance and high -performance computing.

Xiao explained that the ambitious vision of the “Intelligence Network” seeks to make the capabilities of artificial intelligence available and reliable for all, by linking data centers, cloud structures and artificial intelligence models in a flexible and safe sovereign network, allowing countries and institutions of artificial intelligence exploitation on a national scale and on their own conditions, in multiple fields that include health, energy and public services.

He pointed to the expansion of the global group’s presence during the first half of this year through the opening of offices in Europe and the United States, and the strengthening of the “G42” partnerships with Microsoft, Openai, AMD and Igenius, as well as infrastructure projects in France and Italy, which supports the UAE’s status as a reliable bridge linking advanced technology and fast -growing markets.
