A clearer view.
A more useful index.
Independent editorial intelligence on the companies and people building AI across the United Arab Emirates.
Why this index exists
Discovering an AI company should lead to a clear understanding of its work, UAE presence and founding team. UAE Tech Index brings those details together with the evidence behind them. The current edition includes 42 company profiles and 54 founder profiles across twelve sectors.
How the research is produced
Profiles are assembled from official company materials, institutional records and identified professional reporting. AI-assisted research supports discovery and synthesis. Sources and check dates are visible, and company claims are distinguished from independently established outcomes. This is desk research; inclusion does not imply a product test, interview, financial audit or government approval.
Founding roles are checked separately from executive titles. Missing information is omitted or marked as unverified. Photographs have source identification, credits and a recorded use basis.
Editorial independence
The index is a standalone publication. No featured company is presented as its owner. Payment does not buy selection, verification, an editorial score or a ranking. Any future advertising or commercial relationship must be clearly disclosed. A reviewer with a relevant conflict must not assess that company.
A selection before a league table
UAE AI 50 is the edition name and a limit of fifty organisations. The index publishes fewer profiles when the evidence supports a smaller selection. Numeric ranks appear only after comparable, sourced assessments have been completed and approved.

Company submissions enter a private moderation queue. A submission is an invitation to research and does not guarantee publication. Factual corrections should identify the profile, explain the issue and include a reliable source.
