The United Arab Emirates continues to integrate global leadership in artificial intelligence and relies on sophisticated national strategies aimed at integrating the latest technologies into a variety of economic and service sectors.
This contributes to increasing competitiveness on the global map among the most advanced countries in modern technology.
The G42 Group and its subsidiaries have played a pivotal role in this momentum by developing smart, innovative solutions in the first half of this year.
These efforts have led to the capabilities of the United Arab Emirates localizing technology and enabling sustainability.
Collectively, companies operate through a variety of sectors, including healthcare, energy, cybersecurity, culture, education, digital services, and advanced services in other fields that reflect the leadership of the UAE in the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence technologies.
Officials at the G42 subsidiary told Emirates News Agency (WAM) that the company's results collectively embody the group's strategy of integrating sovereign artificial intelligence while maintaining data security and operational efficiency. This reaffirms the United Arab Emirates' position as a global hub of innovation and AI leadership across key sectors.
CBX CEO Hadi Anwar said that achieving digital sovereignty inevitably requires effective cybersecurity deployment. He noted that the company integrates AI-powered cybersecurity into the core of its “intelligence network” and employs AI technology across three main axes: prevention, detection, and response.
He added that CBX launched an automated threat detection and sovereign data protection service this year, specifically designed to support governments and key institutions with the aim of developing technical capabilities while increasing trust in digital services.
In developing the SMART model, Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception, said the company continues to develop agent AI, which has developed specialized models for specific sectors, such as energy and (in)climate models, in addition to a group of general smart products that are not limited to specific sectors.
He pointed to innovations that provided tangible operational value at the enterprise level, such as (In)Execedge, an AI-powered product designed for board members, executives and key management.
In terms of sovereign computing, Core42 CEO Kiril Evtimov has confirmed that through strategic investments in Europe, including France and Italy, the company has continuously expanded its international presence in collaboration with AMD, Oréus and Igenius, through strategic investments in Europe, including France and Italy.
He said a sovereign cloud, which supports more than 11 million interactions every day, was established in partnership with Microsoft and the government empowerment sector, paving the way for the first government to fully rely on artificial intelligence by 2027.
In the energy sector, Magzan Kennethby, representative managing director of AIQ, explained that the integration of artificial intelligence into energy systems has enabled it to be possible with extensive automation, increased productivity and reduced emissions.
The AIQ EnergyAI tool was proven in a 90-day test, with a 10-fold increase in seismic interpretation speed and a 70% increase in accuracy in certain aspects. These results resulted in ADNOC awarding AIQ for three years and AEDs in March 2025 340 million contracts to deploy EnergyAI across ADNOC's upstream operations.
In the context of technological and cultural innovation, analog played a major role in integrating the robotics fleet and digital twin models into critical infrastructure in the first half of 2025.
Analog has partnered with the Cultural and Tourism Bureau – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) to use 10,000 drones in its multi-year immersive light show initiative to create a global hub for cultural and entertainment innovation. The partnership positions Abu Dhabi and hosts the world's largest drone fleet for dynamic, large-scale performance that combines Emirati's heritage with cutting-edge technology.
Astra Tech, a MENA regional consumer technology holding group, leverages the reach and vast user base of the Botim Ultra Platform worldwide to promote seamless, fast and secure digital contributions and enhance social impact and inclusion.
This provides a seamless service that combines connectivity with smart technology, reflecting the desire to enhance the G42's financial inclusion and integrate artificial intelligence into everyday life.
