The G42 group and five companies in its investment portfolio signed broad memoranda of understanding with partners from the government and private sector in Greece, a move that shifts the weight of advanced computing infrastructure from the Gulf to Southern Europe. The signing took place during an official visit to the capital Athens led by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade as part of the UAE-Greek Business Forum, aiming to expand the scope of the “Intelligence Network” initiative to include Greece. The initiative, offered by the group, provides computing capabilities in a reliable manner that mirrors public power grids, ranging from data centers and advanced computing equipment to cloud platforms and specialized sectoral applications.
Mansour Al-Mansouri, CEO of G42 International, explained that the group’s ambition is to enable countries to establish the infrastructure, capabilities and applications needed to employ artificial intelligence in service of their societies. He noted that these agreements represent a pivotal milestone in extending the intelligence network across the European continent, based on the long-standing strategic partnership between the UAE and Greece, and emphasized that cooperation with trusted local partners and strict adherence to European regulatory standards aim to build sustainable economic and social value that links computing to vital sectors.
The new partnership spans all layers of the infrastructure, with the firms “Khazna Data Centers” and “Core 42” undertaking a study to develop an artificial-intelligence factory in Greece in collaboration with the “Cobylios” group.Under this track, Khazna leads the construction of physical infrastructure and advanced data-center facilities, while Core 42 provides cloud-computing capabilities and dedicated runtime environments for intelligent models, delivering technical support to large institutions operating in vital sectors such as banking, telecommunications, maritime shipping, and government agencies.
At the municipal services and public-safety level, Brisat has begun collaborating with the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence to study the use of advanced urban analytics and real-time information monitoring. The first phase focuses on testing the capabilities of agentic artificial intelligence to improve municipal waste-management processes and continuous water-network monitoring, relying on open-data analytics and synthetic data, thereby paving the way for a urban system that enhances city-management efficiency and responsiveness to field needs.
In the governmental and academic track, Inception 42 is exploring with the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence the integration of smart agents into institutional work. The collaboration includes developing intelligent tools to support cabinet meetings and accurately track the implementation indicators of priorities and government decisions, training civil-service personnel to manage tasks via digital agents, as well as designing virtual tutors and educational platforms that aim to raise the outcomes of school and university education.
The partnership’s fifth pillar extends to the health sector, as the M42 group signed a memorandum of understanding with Athens Life Tech Park to establish a joint research and clinical program.The partnership covers genome sequencing, population-genomics studies, linking biobanks, and multi-omics research, with a focus on oncology, neuroscience and rare genetic diseases. The agreement also creates a reciprocal pathway that allows Emirati life-science startups to enter European markets through the Greek incubator, while enabling European companies to access the Emirati market via the M42 clinical and applied network.
This expansion carries immediate practical significance for technical officers and development teams in the Gulf, Egypt and the Levant; it demonstrates that the sovereign AI-factory model is no longer confined by geographic borders, but is now exportable as an integrated package that combines computing with specialized applications, echoing the group’s leadership of a sovereign infrastructure project in Vietnam slated for early 2026. The move requires infrastructure managers in banks and regional institutions to prepare for hybrid-cloud environments that operate under stringent European data-governance and compliance regulations. It also reshapes the career paths of engineers and independent agent developers in the region, shifting practical focus from merely testing language models in chat rooms to building software agents that engage in critical infrastructure such as water-network management, supporting cabinet councils, and using synthetic data for urban planning, skills demanded by upcoming sovereign projects that will define employment and technical contracting trends in the Middle East.
This movement reflects a qualitative shift in the positioning of regional companies, which move from being consumers of global computing platforms to providers that build processing facilities and develop healthcare and city-management solutions for overseas markets, placing an Arab technology system before efficiency and compliance testing at the heart of the European continent.
