Core42

AI infrastructure & compute · Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Core42 is the physical layer under the UAE's AI ambitions - the data centres, GPUs and sovereign-cloud contracts that make "AI made in the UAE" a real infrastructure claim rather than a slogan, and increasingly a US-based infrastructure operator in its own right.

What Core42 does

Core42 is G42's dedicated sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure subsidiary, providing the compute, data centre and cloud services layer that other G42 companies - and external government and enterprise customers - build AI applications on top of. Its pitch is "sovereign AI": compute and data that stays within a customer's own jurisdiction, a proposition that has made it a partner of choice for governments wary of routing sensitive workloads through infrastructure controlled by a foreign hyperscaler.
