Inception42, part of the G42 ecosystem, is bringing its AI platform Catalyst to Microsoft 365 Copilot. The new integration allows companies to develop and access secure AI agents through Microsoft platforms, accelerating AI diffusion without sacrificing sovereign data standards. The announcement comes as the UAE works to embedding AI agents across 50% of federal government operations within two years.

Why This Matters

The UAE is building one of the world's most AI-forward environments, scaling native AI across its public and private sectors alongside US tech innovators. Inception42 and Microsoft's collaboration is part of the US firm's longstanding partnership with UAE AI innovator G42. The two firms are accelerating AI innovation in the UAE, expanding digital infrastructure and developing local Emirati talent through Microsoft's $15.2 billion commitment to the UAE's AI ecosystem. As US firms look to expand abroad, the UAE offers a high-growth market with strong security alignment and a government actively investing in AI infrastructure.

"By enabling agents to run with data processed in country and integrated into the tools people use every day, we are helping governments and enterprises accelerate innovation while maintaining control, security and compliance." – Amr Kamel, General Manager, Microsoft UAE
