Jaid and DSKZ International Investment partner to accelerate governed agentic AI adoption across the UAE, GCC and Africa

Strategic partnership combines world class governed AI technology with regional commercialisation, strategic investment and enterprise transformation capabilities to help governments and regulated industries deploy AI responsibly and at scale.

Jaid, the governed work execution platform for regulated enterprises, today announced a strategic partnership with DSKZ International Investment, a subsidiary of DSKZ Group, to accelerate the responsible adoption of governed agentic AI solutions across the United Arab Emirates, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Africa.

The partnership comes at a defining moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence within the UAE. As the country advances its ambition to embed agentic AI across government services and strategic sectors, organisations are increasingly seeking practical pathways to introduce AI-driven autonomy while maintaining governance, operational control, regulatory compliance and human oversight.

By combining Jaid's governed work execution platform with DSKZ International Investment's regional commercialisation platform, strategic investment capabilities, government relationships and enterprise transformation ecosystem, the partnership will help organisations redesign complex, communication led operations for an AI-enabled future.

Through its Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation practice, DSKZ International Investment works with governments, regulated industries and strategic enterprises to accelerate sovereign AI capability, enterprise AI transformation and next generation digital infrastructure. The partnership with Jaid forms part of DSKZ's broader vision to position Abu Dhabi as a regional hub for trusted, enterprise grade agentic AI deployment while supporting national digital sovereignty and long-term economic development.

Within many regulated organisations, critical operational work still originates in emails, shared inboxes, documents, messaging platforms and other unstructured communications. Traditional enterprise systems frequently record work only after it has already been manually interpreted, assigned and executed.

Jaid provides the governed execution layer between these communication channels and existing enterprise systems, transforming fragmented business activity into structured, controlled and auditable workflows that can be executed collaboratively by people and AI under clearly defined governance policies.

This foundation enables organisations to operationalise AI within live business environments while preserving human oversight, role-based permissions, regulatory compliance, traceability and full auditability along with capabilities that are increasingly essential for governments, financial institutions, healthcare providers and other highly regulated sectors.

The strategic partnership reflects a growing recognition that successful enterprise AI adoption depends upon far more than access to advanced language models. Organisations require trusted operational context, secure enterprise integration, robust governance frameworks, clearly defined authority structures and responsible oversight across every stage of execution.

"The challenge is how organisations introduce greater autonomy without sacrificing governance and control. In regulated environments, every decision and action must remain transparent and auditable regardless of whether performed by people or AI. Jaid transforms fragmented communication led work into governed execution. Together with DSKZ International Investment, we look forward to helping organisations across the UAE and wider region move beyond AI experimentation towards trusted, measurable and enterprise scale AI operations."

"The UAE continues to establish itself as a leading AI economy through visionary leadership and progressive regulation. Success will be measured not simply by access to advanced AI models, but by the ability to deploy them responsibly and at scale. Our partnership with Jaid combines world class governed AI technology with DSKZ's regional ecosystem and enterprise transformation capabilities to help organisations unlock operational value while strengthening national AI capability and digital sovereignty."

Under the partnership, DSKZ International Investment will lead access to capital, regional market development, strategic partnerships, enterprise engagement and transformation programmes across priority sectors, while Jaid provides the governed AI platform, technical expertise and product innovation required to support enterprise scale deployment.

Together, Jaid and DSKZ International Investment will engage with government ministries and agencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, healthcare providers, aviation organisations, logistics operators, energy companies and other regulated enterprises seeking practical pathways towards governed agentic AI adoption.
