The technology company G42, based in Abu Dhabi, has announced a significant investment in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in France, in collaboration with DataOne and supported by AMD. This project, presented at the AI Action Summit in Paris, includes the deployment of a new data centerA data center or data processing center (DPC) specialized in AI in Grenoble, which will feature the latest AMD Instinct accelerator technologies.
A High-Performance AI Data Center in Grenoble
The initiative will be led by Core42, G42’s subsidiary specializing in cloud infrastructure and AI computing. The data center is expected to be fully operational by mid-2025, providing French companies, researchers, and innovators with state-of-the-art computing power for developing advanced AI models.
According to Kiril Evtimov, Chief Technology Officer of G42 and CEO of Core42, “France is taking strong steps in AI innovation, and we at G42 are proud to contribute to this effort. With the deployment of AMD GPUs, we are not only strengthening AI infrastructure in Europe but also enabling companies and researchers to accelerate large-scale innovation.”
Strengthening Technological Sovereignty in Europe
The investment aligns with France and the European Union’s efforts to reinforce their technological sovereignty in AI, reducing dependence on infrastructure from other continents. The collaboration with DataOne, the first European company dedicated exclusively to building and operating sustainable data centers for AI, will facilitate access to high-performance computing resources on European soil.
Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, highlighted the importance of the project: “Our collaboration with G42 will drive the AI ecosystem in France, providing the necessary computing capacity to empower startups and companies leading innovation in artificial intelligence.”
Meanwhile, Charles-Antoine Beyney, CEO of DataOne, celebrated the partnership with G42 and AMD: “We are proud to have Core42 among our clients and to take on the challenge of deploying its largest AI supercomputer in Europe in just 20 weeks.”
Global Expansion and Leadership in AI
G42 has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding AI infrastructure globally through strategic alliances and cutting-edge data centers. The company has already developed multiple AI initiatives, from space exploration to molecular biology. Additionally, AMD Ventures will continue to support innovative startups in the French AI ecosystem by facilitating access to resources and funding.
With this investment, France reinforces its position as a key hub for AI computing in Europe, attracting international capital and accelerating digital transformation in strategic sectors.
