G42 launches UK-Europe unit

State AI firm G42 has launched a new subsidiary headquartered in London, the company said in a statement. The new entity, G42 Europe & UK, will localize the group’s AI solutions for private and public sector clients across the UK and continental Europe, as G42 expands its AI infrastructure footprint across the region.

What they’re planning: The subsidiary will deliver end-to-end AI services — spanning strategic advisory, model development, infrastructure deployment, and managed services — with a focus on healthcare, financial services, energy, and manufacturing. It will partner with local governments and industry to advance regional data sovereignty and infrastructure development.

Leadership: G42 General Counsel Marty Edelman (LinkedIn) and World Wide Technology board member Omar Mir (LinkedIn) will serve as co-chairs of the new unit.

The launch builds on G42’s growing presence in Europe: In May, G42 and Italy’s iGenius announced a planned USD 1 bn investment to develop Europe’s largest AI compute deployment in Italy’s Puglia region. That same month, G42-backed MGX and Nvidia joined a French consortium, including Bpifrance and Mistral AI, to build a 1.4 GW AI campus outside Paris. Backed by EUR 8.5 bn in planned investments, that project is slated to break ground in 2H 2026.

REMEMBER- This comes amid a wider UAE push to grow its AI presence across Europe. In February, the UAE pledged USD 40 bn in investments across Italian sectors including AI and digital infrastructure. A separate bilateral agreement with France, also announced in February, saw the UAE commit USD 30-50 bn toward French AI and data infrastructure.
