Inception42 and Microsoft expand agentic AI collaboration in the UAE

ABU DHABI, 6th July, 2026 (WAM) -- G42, through its sovereign agentic AI company Inception42, and Microsoft today announced a collaboration to advance agentic AI adoption. By deepening interoperability between their platforms, the two companies are helping organisations move from fragmented AI deployments to a governed, enterprise-wide agent ecosystem , giving governments and enterprises access to a wider pool of agents while keeping data processing in the country.This is a key step in supporting the UAE's national agentic AI initiative, which targets 50 percent of federal government operations to use AI agents within two years.The rapid rise of AI agents is creating new opportunities for organisations, but also new challenges.

As enterprises and governments deploy AI across more workflows, many are grappling with fragmented deployments, inconsistent governance, and growing complexity across their technology environments. At the same time, requirements for security, compliance, and data sovereignty are becoming increasingly important.

This collaboration addresses those challenges by giving access to a single ecosystem of AI agents and everyday productivity tools in a governed, sovereign operating layer at national scale.Catalyst, Inception42's enterprise and government agent operating system, is built to operate with sovereign infrastructure, with all data processed in-country. It can run on premise, in a sovereign cloud, or in the public cloud, and it works across an organisation's existing data sources building institutional context, an 'AI Brain'.Agents composed in Catalyst are served through Compass, Core42's sovereign model and infrastructure layer and surface directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot, while agents built inside Copilot compose natively back into Catalyst.

Accelerated by Microsoft Forward Deployed Engineers, it gives governments and enterprises a shared operational framework across people, data, applications, and agents. This helps them deploy AI with greater consistency, accountability and impact as they move from experimentation to production-scale adoption.Three critical layers of enterprise AI that organisations increasingly need but often source separately now come together: sovereign infrastructure, intelligent agent orchestration and everyday user adoption , reducing complexity and giving organisations a trusted foundation for scaling AI across industries, functions, and teams."This integration reflects how sovereignty and interoperability work together," said Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception42.

"Catalyst gives governments and enterprises a comprehensive platform to build, govern, and observe their agents.
