Request for changes

Hi I have a conflict of interest and on behalf of G42 would like to request the following changes be made to this article to update and improve the content.

Firstly, the article should be renamed to G42 (company). The name Group 42 was previously used but G42 is the modern name used to describe the company in all press and subsidiary names. I can submit a page move request as well if that is sensible but it seemed logical to request this as part of my wider request seeing as there is also a need to replace the mentions of Group 42 in the rest of the article with "G42".

Secondly, the article is missing a lot of the enterprises and joint ventures, which has made other information outdated as well. The article needs considerable expansion, but as a start, can the introduction and Corporate history section be updated (replacing the existing text of these sections) to read as follows?:

G42 (previously known as Group42) is a technology holding company based in the UAE. It has multiple vertical businesses under its structure including oil and gas, smart cities, healthcare, and geospatial intelligence.

Corporate history

G42 was founded in 2018 ^{(this previously read 2017, which is not correct, source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/abu-dhabis-g42-forms-big-data-jv-with-israeli-defence-company-rafael-2021-04-19/)} and is based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It comprises a multidisciplinary and diverse team of data scientists and engineers. The company performs applied AI research and development process on big data, AI, and machine learning via its various portfolio companies. G42 is chaired by the National Security Advisor of UAE, Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Peng Xiao is the Group CEO. ^{(example source confirming Mr Xiao’s position https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/technology/2023/04/28/regulatory-oversight-called-for-as-generative-ai-takes-centre-stage/)}

In 2020, Mubadala took a stake in the company, transferring ownership of two information technology companies, Injazat and Khazna to G42. ^{(source https://www.reuters.com/article/mubadala-inv-g42-ma-idINL8N2HO1NV)} In 2021, private equity firm Silver Lake invested $800 million for a minority stake, becoming G42’s first Western investor. ^{(sources https://www.wsj.com/articles/silver-lake-invests-about-800-million-for-minority-stake-in-abu-dhabis-g42-11618394401, https://wired.me/business/silver-lake-funnels-800-million-into-abu-dhabi-based-g42/)}

Can the Infobox also be updated as follows:

Areas served: Middle East and Africa, Central Asia, Europe and the US

Number of employees: 20,000 ^{(source if needed https://businesschief.eu/leadership-and-strategy/abu-dhabi-health-tech-company-m42-now-biggest-in-region)}

"Subsidiaries" changed to "Portfolio companies" for accuracy and including the following:

• AIQ
• Bayanat
• G42 Cloud
• G42 Healthcare
• Hayat Biotech
• IIAI
• Injazat
• Khazna
• M42
• Presight

I have wording and sources to provide proper subsections on these but for now it would be good to have them visible at a glance.

Finally, the "Partnership" section is also very out of date. For now, I suggest renaming it and splitting it into two separate sections, "Portfolio companies" containing Bayanat from the existing list, and "Partnerships and initiatives", containing Adalytyx, BGI Group, Rafael and IAI, and ToTok. Nanoscent and Alibaba Cloud can be removed as they were respectively a short-term collaboration and a small event from 2019 and not relevant for this article. Again, I have suggestions for expanding these lists but as a start having these in two separate, alphabetical lists would be easier for a reader to navigate.

Many thanks for your help in advance! Oddoso (talk) 16:40, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
