5/22/25, 5:08 PM AqlanX Raises $10 Million for Arabic-First Enterprise AI
Building UAE-Made AI, Powered by Global Expertise

Founded on the principle of locally developed, culturally relevant AI, AqlanX is focused on
enhancing enterprise automation and business process transformation. Its AI platforms target

critical areas such as document intelligence, data processing, and operational efficiency,
particularly for large-scale organisations in Arabic-speaking markets.

The $10 million investment will also help localise DoxAI’s proven enterprise-grade capabilities,

combining global innovation with regional context to deliver solutions tailored for the Gulf
region.

“This investment is more than capital—it’s a commitment to a shared vision,” said Giuseppe
Porcelli, Executive Chairman of Lakeba and DoxAI. “AqlanX represents the next frontier of

enterprise AI in the Middle East, and we are proud to bring our experience, technology, and
strategic resources to support its growth.”

Strategic Alliances for National Talent and Innovation

AqlanX, Lakeba, and DoxAI have also joined forces with the University of Wollongong in Dubai
(UOWD) to launch a Centre of Excellence for AI. This national capacity-building initiative aims to

cultivate homegrown AI talent, support applied research, and promote enterprise innovation
directly within the UAE.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for

Foreign Trade, said:

“This collaboration between AqlanX, Lakeba, and DoxAI demonstrates the

power of the NextGen FDI program to catalyse strategic, cross-sector

partnerships. It underscores our commitment to fostering an ecosystem that
nurtures innovation and collaboration in priority sectors like artificial

intelligence.”

For AqlanX, the investment represents more than financial backing—it cements the company’s
position as a future leader in enterprise-grade, Arabic-first AI.
