G42, a technology group based in Abu Dhabi, has entered into several agreements with Greek entities to explore the development of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and services in Greece. During an official UAE visit to Athens on Friday, these agreements aimed to deepen collaboration between the two nations in sectors like healthcare, education, government services, and smart cities.
G42 and its subsidiaries will partner with Greek organizations to develop projects that could enhance business and government utilization of AI. One agreement involves the Copelouzos Group, where G42 companies Khazna Data Centers and Core42 will work on constructing an AI factory in Greece. The facility would integrate advanced data centers, cloud computing, and AI technologies to cater to banking, telecommunications, shipping, and government services.
Khazna will manage the physical infrastructure, while Core42 would supply cloud and computing capabilities. G42's CEO, Mansoor Al Mansoori, emphasized that the agreements would bolster technological cooperation between the UAE and Greece. Meanwhile, G42's Presight will collaborate with Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance to investigate how AI can enhance public safety and urban management, focusing initially on waste management, water network monitoring, public transport safety, and urban problem resolution.
G42's Inception42 will explore AI-powered tools for Greece's government operations and education, such as systems for monitoring government priorities, supporting cabinet meetings, and improving administrative tasks. G42's M42 signed an agreement with Athens LifeTech Park, aiming to cooperate in medical research and biotechnology, covering areas like cancer, rare genetic diseases, neuroscience, and genomic research.
The partnership will also facilitate UAE healthcare startups entering European markets and vice versa. G42 stated that these agreements are a starting point, with companies and government entities to determine the projects' scope and timelines, subject to further agreements and regulatory approvals.
