Cognite, a global leader in industrial AI, has announced the incorporation of a new entity in Abu Dhabi. This strategic step aims to meet the rising demand for industrial digitalisation from leading energy and manufacturing companies in the region, while supporting the rapid adoption of industrial AI at scale. With this move, Cognite is setting up a local centre for expertise, technology, and support, reaffirming its commitment to customers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a country working towards becoming a global leader in AI.
The new entity will act as a central hub for Cognite’s industrial AI solutions, which are already helping companies across the region expand digital capabilities and improve operational efficiency.
Bernard Looney, board member at XRG, an international energy investment company based in Abu Dhabi, said, “Cognite’s AI solutions are a game-changer for industry. In my experience, they are the pre-requisite foundation for the application of any form of AI, helping drive improved safety, emissions, and performance. I am delighted with Cognite’s new presence in the UAE, a country at the very forefront of global AI leadership.”
Cognite’s AI agents lie at the core of these solutions, providing valuable insights and automating time-consuming tasks. They are built on Cognite Data Fusion®, a strong data foundation that prepares industrial data for AI, ensuring it is secure and trusted. This foundation is fully integrated with Cognite Atlas AI™, a low-code workbench that makes advanced AI capabilities easily available for industrial organisations to apply and extend within their workflows.
Commenting on the expansion, Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite, said, “The UAE is leading the world in ambition and action around industrial AI. Cognite is establishing a presence in the UAE to anchor our access and response to industrial customers, so we can co-innovate with our incredible talent on the ground.”
Cognite has also invited industry professionals to join its global Industrial AI and Data Conference, Impact 2025, to hear directly from leaders about how agentic AI is transforming industrial operations.
