G42, a UAE-based AI and advanced technology group, has announced the establishment of G42 Europe & UK, a new subsidiary headquartered in London.
The entity aims to provide AI solutions tailored to the private sector in the UK and Europe, while working with public and industry stakeholders to help build critical AI infrastructure across the region.
G42 Europe & UK will be jointly chaired by Omar Mir and Marty Edelman, both of whom bring substantial experience to the role.
Omar Mir, International Board Member at World Wide Technology, has more than two decades of experience in the global technology sector.
He has led initiatives across the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, with a focus on areas including 5G, edge computing, cloud, and AI services.
Marty Edelman, who serves as Group General Counsel at G42, is responsible for overseeing the Group’s legal and compliance frameworks.
He has played a key role in shaping the company’s governance as it expands into new markets.
“I am honoured to co-chair G42 Europe & UK at this pivotal moment,”
said Mir.
“Our goal is to harness G42’s proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses, fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders.”
The launch follows G42’s recent expansion efforts in Europe, including plans for data centres and compute clusters in France and Italy, alongside growing interest from other countries across the region.
G42 Europe & UK will utilise the Group’s global AI infrastructure, including supercomputing facilities and data centres, to deliver a range of services.
These include strategic advisory, model development, infrastructure deployment, and managed services for sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy.
The subsidiary will also work with regional authorities to support data sovereignty efforts and the development of next-generation AI systems.
