Tuesday we hosted 35 customers and partners at our Equinix Digital Leaders Live lunch 🍽️ event in Dallas, Digital Transformation in the Age of AI. 🤖 We had a room full of people discussing the disruptive demands of AI, the ways leaders are leveraging GenAI, and the role of ecosystems and tools in the AI journey. We learned the full scope of what’s coming as GenAI impacts our infrastructure along with some essential guidance to navigate a strategy! In her keynote, Digital Infrastructure Priorities for Digital Business and GenAI, IDC Research VP, Future of Digital Infrastructure, Mary Johnston Turner, shared five big ideas: ⭐️ Worldwide organizations expect 52% of GenAI investments will go to cloud infrastructure over the next 18 months. And because of this, you need to… 🌟 Modernize your infrastructure to optimize throughput ✨Leverage an ecosystem of partners and resources ⭐️Generate business value at the edge 🌟And to do these three things, you need a strategy I had the opportunity to set the stage for the panel discussion with digital leaders from Trintech, PepsiCo, Gearbox Software and Citi to explore the key considerations and the role of digital infrastructure in building and scaling a digital business. We heard their best practices - as well as roadblocks they overcame - to accelerate innovation and transform their business models and how they leveraged digital infrastructure as a differentiator to compete in the digital economy. The icing on the cake 🎂: I got to witness first-hand the exceptional moderating skills of the incomparable Danielle Barnett ! #genai #digitalinfrastructure #platformequinix #digitalleaders #digitaleconomy #digitalbusiness #platformstrategy #digitalecosystems #idc

Where Tech Meets Humanity - #TogetherTech Ignites Innovation's Spark 💙🤍 In these challenging days, TogetherTech's C-level minds converged as tech and humanity collided in a spark of innovation. Google Cloud's Shay Elias and Omri Pinsker ignited thought-provoking conversations with their insights into #generativeAI and #Security, setting the stage for a deep dive into the future's dynamic frontiers. And the real magic unfolded with Hanoch Daum's electrifying stand-up. His witty and insightful humor, weaving technology into his observations of life, left us both laughing and pondering the future we're building. This unique performance was a powerful reminder that even in the most serious discussions, a touch of human levity can spark new connections and perspectives. Food and giveaways sourced from Israel's resilient south fueled our spirit. #TogetherTech wasn't just an event, it was a shared ember of optimism, a testament to the power of tech guided by humanity to bridge divides and build a brighter future.

Excited to share the recent G42 and Microsoft announcement which entails a $1.5 billion investment in G42 by Microsoft, and a variety of other exciting aspects to this deepening partnership. This combination will further AI development and marks a significant chapter in global technology expansion. At Core42 as the digital infrastructure and AI enablement provider in the G42 ecosystem, this deal helps enhance offerings such as our sovereign enabled cloud solutions that leverage Microsoft #Azure, enabling a joint innovation pathway laying a foundation that empowers us to deepen AI use case development across public sector and regulated industries, crafting solutions with globally unique potential. On a personal note, reflecting on my 9 years at the UAE Embassy - Washington, DC , promoting and enhancing bilateral trade and investments, I've witnessed firsthand how the UAE, consistently the largest export market in the Middle East and North Africa for over a decade, has excelled in expanding its global footprint. Traditionally, the UAE has invested abroad, but now we see a reversal in this trend with global giants like Mubadala, Silver Lake, and now Microsoft investing in homegrown G42. The visionary leadership of the UAE and the strategic direction of our Group CEO, Peng Xiao, have been pivotal in creating an enabling environment that has attracted such significant investments. G42's evolution into a technology ambassador for the UAE, expanding jointly to several countries with Microsoft, showcases a joint value proposition that enhances sovereignty and inspires confidence globally. I am deeply appreciative of everyone at Core42 and G42 who has worked tirelessly to solidify this relationship. I'm also appreciative to our counterparts in Microsoft who have taken the meaning of partnership to an unprecedented level in the collaborative approach that was embraced to reaching this milestone. The journey ahead promises even more groundbreaking achievements, and I am excited for what's ahead in these new frontiers.
