Core42 Takes The Infrastructure Role

Core42 and Solutions+ have formed a partnership for sovereign AI delivery in the UAE, with Core42 handling the infrastructure layer and Solutions+ taking the implementation and data-services role.

The agreement was announced at Make it in the Emirates at ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi, which runs until 7 May 2026.

It covers UAE and Abu Dhabi government entities, Mubadala Group and selected enterprise accounts, giving the deal a defined institutional and corporate customer base rather than a general cloud-marketing frame.

The operating split is important for UAE AI adoption.

Core42 supplies in-country infrastructure and access to its Compass API.

Solutions+ uses that base to deliver its WEAVE AI platform and implementation services.

The result is a model where compute, data services and enterprise deployment are packaged together for organisations that need AI systems inside a sovereign and compliant environment.

WEAVE AI Gets Local Compute And Model Access

Solutions+ will use Core42’s in-country AI infrastructure to power WEAVE AI, including large language model access and GPU compute for enterprise-grade AI applications.

The arrangement is meant to let WEAVE AI run inside a controlled local environment rather than depend on a generic offshore stack.

Solutions+ also takes responsibility for agreed Oracle Fusion and OCI work with enterprise accounts selected with Core42.

That adds a procurement and systems-integration layer to the AI story: the partnership is not only about models, but about how cloud and enterprise software accounts are managed.

Talal M.

Al Kaissi, Core42’s chief executive, framed the partnership as a production infrastructure model for secure and sovereign-ready AI.

Nasir Al Nabhani, managing director of Solutions+, said the combination creates an end-to-end capability for Mubadala Investment Company Group portfolio companies and government entity clients.

Sovereign AI Moves From Policy To Delivery

The agreement formalises an existing working relationship and expands collaboration for government and private-sector clients beyond Mubadala Investment Company.

It includes joint opportunity alignment, referrals and reseller arrangements.

For Abu Dhabi, the partnership connects three layers of the sovereign AI stack: local compute, implementation capacity and enterprise account coverage.

That makes the story more concrete than a general digital-transformation announcement, because it names who supplies infrastructure, who deploys services and which groups of clients are being targeted.

The broader group context also matters.

G42, Mubadala Investment Company and Mubadala portfolio companies including Solutions+ are presenting national capability work at the same industrial platform.

Core42 and Solutions+ sit inside that ecosystem, so the partnership functions as part of a larger UAE push to turn sovereign infrastructure into deployable enterprise services.

The unresolved issue is execution across real workloads.

Core42 and Solutions+ have described the delivery model, but the next burden is converting sovereign-ready infrastructure into deployed applications for government entities, Mubadala portfolio companies and private-sector clients without losing governance control.
