Connecting Abu Dhabi and Athens to accelerate the journey from scientific discovery to better health.
M42 was proud to join the UAE’s official visit to Athens, Greece led by the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Trade, which included the UAE-Greece Business Forum.
With G42 and its portfolio companies, Khazna Data Centers, Core42, Presight and Inception 42, M42 also helped extend G42’s Intelligence Grid proposition into Greece. M42’s Dimitris Moulavasilis and Athens LifeTech Park’s Eleni Pentafragka signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance collaboration across life sciences research, genomics sequencing infrastructure, population genomics, clinical development and connected institutional biobanks.
The partnership will open opportunities for joint translational research, preclinical studies and integrated genomics, multi-omics and biomarker research, with a focus on oncology, rare genetic diseases and neuroscience. It also creates a two-way bridge for innovation:
• UAE life sciences start-ups will gain a base at the Athens LifeTech Park Incubator to support European market entry
• Greek and European ventures will gain opportunities for collaboration and access to the UAE through M42’s network.
“The next era of global health will be led by ecosystems with a shared purpose that cross borders,” said Dimitris Moulavasilis, Group CEO of M42.
By connecting Abu Dhabi’s clinical, genomic and technology infrastructure with Greece’s scientific capabilities and European reach, we aim to translate shared ambition into joint research, stronger ventures and discoveries that improve lives.
