AIREV and Qualcomm to advance autonomous AI across enterprise and government environments

AIREV, an Abu Dhabi-based company specializing in autonomous AI platforms, has formed a strategic partnership with Qualcomm Technologies Ltd. This collaboration combines AIREV's OnDemand platform with Qualcomm's Dragonwing products, such as the Qualcomm Dragonwing AI On-Prem Appliance. This union aims to enable enterprises and governments to deploy AI agents that can operate anywhere their data is stored, while also paving the way for future technology integration.

Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister for Foreign Trade and Chairman of AIREV, stated that the partnership brings together the world's top technology services and positions the UAE as a creator and exporter of AI technology. By integrating Qualcomm's chip technology, hardware preloading, and US-market registration, AIREV establishes a comprehensive and mutually beneficial business strategy in the region.

OnDemand is a no-code, low-code operating system for building, deploying, and managing autonomous AI agents. The platform is designed to function without mandatory cloud dependency, regardless of whether it operates within a sovereign data center, a corporate server, or directly on a device. Currently, AIREV's products serve over four million users globally and offer more than 300 specialized agents across more than 50 languages.

In the second quarter of 2026, AIREV's products processed 6.8 trillion tokens, marking a significant sixfold increase in just one year.

The collaboration between AIREV and Qualcomm Technologies Ltd. empowers enterprises and governments to utilize AI agents that can function irrespective of where the data resides. This integration enhances the security and sovereignty of AI deployments while expanding the reach of agentic AI across Qualcomm-powered environments. Muhammad Khalid, Founder and Chief Executive of AIREV, believes that with Qualcomm, AIREV can deploy advanced AI agents virtually everywhere their customers work, transforming agentic AI from a demonstration into a genuine productivity driver.

Wassim Chourbaji, Senior Vice President and President of Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Qualcomm Technologies Ltd., emphasized that the partnership will expand the ways enterprises and governments can deploy efficient AI agents. This collaboration establishes a foundation for extending these capabilities to a broader range of Qualcomm technologies in the future.

The agreement underscores the increasing demand for trusted AI solutions and highlights the growing prominence of UAE-developed technology services in meeting enterprise and government AI needs across various markets. AIREV, established in 2024, has rapidly grown into a commercially deployed platform, attracting investors such as VentureWave Capital and Titian Capital.

The partnership between AIREV and Qualcomm demonstrates the rise of UAE-developed AI platforms on the global stage, combining silicon certification, hardware pre-installation, and US-market registration into a unified commercial strategy.
