Inception42, Microsoft Partner on AI Agents

G42, through its sovereign agentic AI company Inception42, and Microsoft have announced a collaboration to advance agentic AI adoption. This partnership aims to deepen interoperability between their platforms, helping organizations move from fragmented AI deployments to a governed, enterprise-wide agent ecosystem. This initiative is a crucial step in supporting the United Arab Emirates' national agentic AI initiative, which targets 50% of federal government operations to use AI agents within two years. The collaboration addresses challenges such as fragmented deployments, inconsistent governance, and complexity in AI environments, while also focusing on security, compliance, and data sovereignty. Inception42's Catalyst operating system will integrate with Microsoft, allowing agents to work seamlessly across both platforms with data processed in-country. Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception42, and Amr Kamel, General Manager of Microsoft UAE, highlighted the benefits of this integration for scaling AI with confidence and maintaining control.
