A notable example is their partnership with Microsoft to establish two Responsible AI centres in Abu Dhabi.

Ahamed also highlighted GITEX's significance for G42 as a UAE-based firm. As the event's lanyard sponsor, they aim to use this platform to educate and collaborate with industry peers. The event remains a key highlight in their calendar for showcasing advancements and engaging with talent.
