Seed Group, a company of the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, has entered into a strategic partnership with London-headquartered InstaDeep, a leader in decision-making artificial intelligence (AI) products, to further accelerate the UAE’s digital transformation efforts and help InstaDeep expand its footprint in the Middle East region.

The collaboration will give InstaDeep greater access to enterprises in various industries such as retail and wholesale, healthcare, energy, and financial services in the UAE. It will also facilitate InstaDeep to offer its cutting-edge AI products and solutions to allow companies to unlock data insights and increase efficiency and speed across operations.

Hisham Al Gurg, CEO of the Seed Group and the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, said, “The UAE aims to become a fast adopter of emerging AI technologies and attract top AI talent to create a healthy digital ecosystem for businesses. The forging of a strategic partnership with InstaDeep is in line with the UAE’s vision to become a world leader in AI by 2031, creating new economic and social opportunities for citizens, governments, and businesses. We look forward to working with them to further expand the potential of digital transformation in one of the fastest-growing markets in the world – the UAE.”


The UAE estimates that by 2030, AI will have a global market value of $15.7 trillion, boosting the country’s GDP by 35% and reducing government costs by 50%.
