Dubai has moved to deepen its artificial intelligence footprint with the launch of Aither, a joint venture between Dubai Holding and Palantir Technologies — marking Palantir’s first dedicated venture inside the UAE.
The agreement was signed in Dubai before His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Holding, and His Excellency Mohamed bin Hadi Al Hussaini, Minister of State for Financial Affairs. The deal was executed by Amit Kaushal, Group CEO of Dubai Holding, alongside Noam Perski, Executive Vice President at Palantir.
18 months of measurable impact
The partnership formalises an 18-month operational collaboration during which Dubai Holding integrated Palantir’s data and AI platforms across its business units. That deployment produced clearer data visibility, accelerated decision cycles and improved operational efficiency across real estate, hospitality, finance and infrastructure, with practical deployments at entities including Nakheel, Meraas and Jumeirah.
A national platform for AI leadership
Through Aither, the partners intend to extend these capabilities more broadly across the UAE’s priority sectors. The joint venture is positioned to serve both government and commercial organisations, enabling more intelligent operations and fostering new economic use cases.
Advancing Dubai’s digital economy agenda
The initiative supports the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 target of generating AED 100 billion annually from digital transformation. By localising advanced AI technologies, Aither aims to transfer technical expertise, build national skills and introduce governance frameworks to ensure responsible, accountable AI adoption across industries.
Aligned with the UAE’s wider digital transformation and diversification strategies, Aither represents a step toward embedding enterprise-grade AI in the region and scaling proven technological capabilities into a national engine for productivity and growth.
