IHC, a global investment company dedicated to building dynamic value networks, has unveiled a pioneering artificial intelligence marketplace powered by the first Emirati AI Marketplace Agent, ‘SAIF.’ This innovative platform is poised to transform how AI technologies are developed, sourced, and deployed worldwide.
SAIF serves as an intuitive, multilingual interface enabling UAE-based and international developers to seamlessly access and purchase key AI components including Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), AI modules, and custom AI stack designs. Capable of communicating in over 5,000 languages and accessible via mobile, PC, voice, text, or video calls, SAIF embodies core UAE values of trust, hospitality, speed, and precision, making AI procurement more approachable and efficient.
Conceived, engineered, and developed in the UAE, this marketplace is built locally with a global vision—empowering developers, companies, governments, and non-profits to unlock AI’s full potential. By facilitating direct procurement of critical AI hardware and software, IHC addresses a major industry challenge where many developers struggle to access cutting-edge GPUs and Large Language Models (LLMs) due to bulk purchasing requirements imposed by suppliers.
The platform aims to bridge the gap between soaring demand for intelligent solutions and the complexity of sourcing and deploying AI technology. It offers a transformative infrastructure to accelerate AI adoption and innovation on a global scale.
Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC, remarked, “The UAE continues to lead in digital innovation, and this AI marketplace exemplifies the power of national ambition combined with state-of-the-art execution. Developed in Abu Dhabi, it will redefine human interaction with intelligent systems. IHC is proud to help drive this transformation by creating homegrown capabilities designed for global impact.”
This initiative aligns closely with the UAE’s AI 2031 vision and long-term digital economy strategy, underscoring the nation’s commitment to fostering a knowledge-based economy fueled by advanced technology. It also reflects IHC’s strategic focus on future-ready investments and its mission to accelerate digital transformation at scale.
