Abu Dhabi has announced a partnership with Microsoft and Core42, a subsidiary of G42, to create a sovereign cloud system designed to improve government services.

This collaboration will develop a high-performance cloud computing environment that can handle over 11 million digital interactions daily.

This initiative supports Abu Dhabi’s goal to become the world’s first fully AI-native government by 2027.

Under the Abu Dhabi Government Digital Strategy 2025-2027, the emirate will invest 13 billion dirham (US$3.5 billion) in digital infrastructure.
