Robo.ai Inc. (NASDAQ: AIIO ) today announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Abu Dhabi-based Eleven International Holdings for the proposed establishment of Alif Holding,an intelligent industrial technology group (the "Group"). The Group will be headquartered in Abu Dhabi, with Robo.ai holding a controlling stake, and will develop intelligent software and smart equipment for government, infrastructure and industrial sectors across the UAE, the GCC region and global markets.

Under the banner of "Building Intelligent Industries", the venture is structured around two integrated platforms: The intelligent equipment platform covers robotics and automation, advanced composite materials, and intelligent equipment and manufacturing. On the other hand, the intelligent software platform covers industrial AI, computer vision, AI agents and large language models, digital twin, and data and analytics.

The Group's business focus will be centered on government and public-sector projects, as well as mission-critical domains. Target industries includes energy, oil and gas, ports, public safety, utilities, mining, transportation, smart cities and critical infrastructure. All related systems will be engineered to meet the security, reliability and continuity standards required for government-grade deployments.

On the manufacturing front, the Group plans to establish engineering, assembly and production capabilities in Abu Dhabi, delivering on a "Made in UAE" proposition. Its development roadmap comprises four phases: acquiring proven global technologies, integrating them into a unified platform, manufacturing in the UAE to international standards, and scaling into regional and global markets.

In terms of technology, the Group is committed to technology neutrality and open architecture, partnering with international AI, robotics, sensor, software, communications, and public safety and security technology companies. The initiative is strongly aligned with the UAE National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031 and with Abu Dhabi's development as a centre for artificial intelligence and advanced industry.

According to PwC's estimates, artificial intelligence could contribute close to US$96 billion to the UAE economy by 2030, equivalent to approximately 13.6% of GDP.
