Abu Dhabi signed a multi-year sovereign cloud agreement with Microsoft and Core42, a G42 company specializing in AI infrastructure and digital services, to accelerate AI-driven government transformation, according to an Abu Dhabi Media Office statement. The initiative is part of the Abu Dhabi Government Digital Strategy 2025-2027, which aims to position the emirate as the world’s first AI-native government by 2027.

ICYMI- Unveiled in January, the digital strategy includes an AED 13 bn investment in digital infrastructure, with the goal of automating 100% of government processes by 2027. The plan involves deploying over 200 AI-driven solutions to boost efficiency, security, and accessibility across government services.

The impact is already visible: TAMM 3.0, Abu Dhabi’s one-stop government services platform, reduced offline visits by 90% and made 73% of transactions instantaneous.

What the new partnership will bring to the table: The collaboration will establish a high-performance sovereign cloud capable of handling over 11 mn daily digital interactions between government entities, citizens, residents, and businesses. Microsoft will provide its Azure cloud expertise, while Core42 will integrate Insight, its sovereign controls platform, to ensure data sovereignty.
