In a major step toward deepening the UAE-Italy<\/a> strategic relations, G42, the leading AI technology group from Abu Dhabi, through its subsidiary Core42, today announced a strategic partnership with iGenius, a pioneer in AI models for highly regulated industries, to deliver the largest AI<\/a> compute deployment in Europe. The partnership reflects the growing momentum in bilateral ties, aligned with both nations\u2019 leadership vision to drive innovation, enable economic advancement, and create shared value through advanced technology and knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement is intended to establish a robust framework for collaboration, positioning G42 as a trusted enabler of global digital transformation -particulary highlighting Core42\u2019s pivotal role in the AI infrastructure partnership. It also reflects the shared ambition to embed AI into critical value chains, fostering regional resilience and long-term sustainable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made on the sidelines of 3rd<\/sup> Edition of Investopia Europe<\/a>, in the presence of senior Italian ministers and UAE officials such asH.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy and Chairman of Investopia,H.E. Adolfo Urso, Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, and H.E. Alia Bint Abdulla Al Mazrouei, UAE<\/a> Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, among others along with the leadership team of G42, Core42, and iGenius.At the heart of the partnership is the deployment of a high-performance GPU cluster powered by thousands of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs,a major milestone in enabling sovereign AI infrastructure for the European market. The envisaged pan-European AI rollout will be enabled and operated by Core42, a G42 company specializing in sovereign cloud, AI infrastructure, and digital services. iGenius is redefining the digital landscape through the first data center, Colosseum, with over 100 Exaflops of compute designed specifically for sovereign AI workloads. The initial build out is more than a data center- It\u2019s a blueprint for sovereign AI factories designed for use cases demanding the highest levels of security, reliability, and accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compute cluster will serve as a foundational layer to accelerate AI training, inferencing, and application development across key European industries, including financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector. It is purpose-built to meet the region\u2019s growing demand for secure, scalable, and high-performance infrastructure, aligned with Europe\u2019s digital sovereignty objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on this development, H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy and Chairman of Investopia<\/strong>, said, \u201cThe signing between G42 and iGenius is a testament to the strong economic cooperation between the UAE and Italy, and to our shared commitment to building partnerships in new economic sectors, like AI, that are driving global transformation. The UAE is at the heart of this shift, and we are proud to see this MoU signed at Investopia, a platform designed to accelerate partnerships and investment in the new economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership with iGenius marks a new chapter in boosting the European AI economy,\u201d said Kiril Evtimov, Group Chief Technology Officer, G42 and Chief Executive Officer, Core42<\/strong>. \u201cBy combining Core42\u2019s sovereign AI infrastructure expertise with Italy\u2019s innovative leadership, we are laying the groundwork to support the next generation of AI innovation in Europe. It reflects both our commercial promise and the strategic trust between the UAE and Italy in advancing the global AI ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uljan<\/strong>Sharka, CEO at iGenius<\/strong>, said, \u201cOur alliance with G42 is a strategic step toward building sovereign AI capacity for Europe. Together, we are combining world-class compute infrastructure with deep AI expertise to deliver impactful solutions across industries, while strengthening Italy\u2019s role as a hub for responsible and transformative AI innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new collaboration with iGenius marks another pivotal step in Core42\u2019s journey to deliver sovereign, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As AI adoption accelerates across Europe, trusted, high-performance infrastructure will be key to realizing the region\u2019s digital ambitions. This collaboration between Core42 and iGenius reflects a shared commitment by the UAE and Italy to contribute meaningfully to that vision, enabling responsible, scalable, and sovereign AI solutions that support Europe\u2019s long-term competitiveness and technological leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
