Applied AI, an Abu Dhabi-based startup focused on AI-native workflow solutions for regulated industries, has completed a Pre-Series B funding round led by the MENA Venture Capital Fund at Mubadala Investment Company, alongside global investor Arbor Ventures.
The investment will support the international expansion of the company’s enterprise AI platform which is designed for mission-critical operations.
The funding reflects growing investor confidence that the next phase of enterprise AI adoption will prioritise operational reliability, measurable productivity gains, and scalable deployment. The round also reinforces Abu Dhabi’s ambition to position private-sector AI companies as globally competitive technology leaders.
