Abu Dhabi-based technology group G42 has announced its participation at Gitex Global 2025, unveiling the G42 District—a dynamic experience space dedicated to its vision for AI Native Societies, where intelligence is deeply embedded across governance, infrastructure, and everyday life.
Located in Hall 6 (Booth H6-B40) at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the G42 District will serve as an interactive hub for government leaders, business executives, and visitors to explore how AI is being implemented at national and sectoral scales. Gitex Global will take place from October 13 to 17, 2025.
The district will bring together G42’s entire ecosystem of companies, including Core42, Khazna, M42, Presight, CPX, Inception, Space42, AIQ, AstraTech, and Analog, featuring live demonstrations, executive discussions, and immersive showcases of how intelligence is powering transformation across industries.
Central to G42’s presence is the concept of AI Native Societies—communities built on sovereign infrastructure and trusted intelligence systems that drive modernization, resilience, and improved citizen services. This framework is powered by G42’s “Intelligence Grid”, a distributed AI ecosystem designed to make intelligence accessible, secure, and scalable.
“GITEX has become one of the world’s most important stages for the future of technology—and this year, we’re not just showing what will be possible with AI, we’re showing what’s already happening,” said Faheem Ahamed, Group Chief Marketing and Experience Officer at G42. “Our presence reflects the scale of our partnerships and how the concept of AI Native Societies is taking shape across all aspects of life and the economy.”
A major highlight of the week will be a fireside chat between G42 CEO Peng Xiao and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, titled “From Early Adoption to AI Native Societies.” The discussion will explore how responsible innovation and sovereign capability are shaping the next phase of intelligence.
G42 will also host additional sessions on October 14, featuring leaders from across its portfolio alongside global partners such as Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, Cisco, TAMM, MBZUAI, and Cerebras. Key topics will include sovereign infrastructure, modernization of public services, and AI’s role in industry transformation.
In addition to its main presence in Hall 6, G42 will also exhibit in Hall 18 (Global Digital Cities Hall), showcasing G42 for Government—its suite of sovereign AI solutions designed to help public institutions modernize digital services, strengthen resilience, and safely scale AI capabilities.
Throughout Gitex week, G42 will host bilateral meetings, MoU signings, and over 30 sessions covering AI’s impact across healthcare, finance, energy, sports, and governance. The programming will also spotlight Women in AI and Young Emiratis in AI, reflecting G42’s commitment to inclusivity and nurturing local talent.
G42’s participation at Gitex Global 2025 underscores its mission to build future-ready, AI-empowered societies through responsible innovation, global collaboration, and infrastructure that puts intelligence at the service of people and the planet.
