G42 and Microsoft have announced a collaboration to develop the public sector and industry-focused solutions that leverage Microsoft’s partner ecosystem and cloud capabilities to accelerate the UAE’s digital transformation. The partnership was formalized in a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed at G42’s premises, and it aims to provide customised cloud solutions to benefit UAE organisations in addressing the needs of citizens and customers in various sectors, including healthcare, energy, public sector digital transformation, financial services, climate action, and more.
Under the MoU, both companies will explore joint business development and marketing opportunities across a variety of areas, with G42 Cloud working closely with Microsoft to enable joint solutions to be developed and deployed securely and in compliance with regulatory requirements. The collaboration is expected to create a joint value proposition that delivers agility and spurs innovation in the technical community of the UAE and the region.
Naim Yazbeck, General Manager of Microsoft UAE, said that organisations globally, especially in the public sector, are increasingly looking for customised cloud solutions that offer additional choice and flexibility. He added that he is excited about the potential that collaboration with G42 could bring to the UAE, and he looks forward to combining Microsoft’s focus on resiliency, agility, and security with G42’s unique capabilities and vision.
Kiril Evimov, G42’s Group CTO and Chairman of G42 Cloud commented that G42 is keen to work closely with Microsoft to create a joint value proposition that can serve common customers better and spur innovation and deliver agility for the technical community in the UAE and the region. He added that the broad set of solutions that G42 and its clients have developed will benefit from the rich ecosystem and global scale that Microsoft provides. Microsoft will similarly benefit from the experience and technical know-how of operating regulated workloads across multiple industries that G42 Cloud is focused on.
Both companies will work in the coming months to finalise the development required to ensure regulatory compliance to serve customers in the market. The partnership aims to combine Microsoft’s focus on resiliency, agility, and security with G42’s unique capabilities and vision, which is expected to create significant value for the UAE’s digital transformation journey.
