Nextgen, a UAE-based AI solutions company, has been named an OpenAI Select Partner in the OpenAI Partner Network.
The partnership will see Nextgen help government entities and businesses in the region build and deploy AI solutions, using OpenAI models such as GPT and ChatGPT Work. The company, which moved its global headquarters to the UAE, works with more than 50 enterprise clients and has a team of over 135 specialists across five offices.
What the partnership means
Nextgen will work with organisations on a range of use cases, from customer service and document processing to internal knowledge tools and workflow automation. The company said it has delivered more than 200 AI use cases so far.
The firm will also help clients train and develop their teams, so they can use AI tools with confidence and deploy them safely.
A growing market
AI is now part of daily life for most businesses in the UAE. A new study of more than 1,000 companies found that 72 per cent of businesses have now adopted AI, up from 53 per cent a year earlier.
The same study found that 97 per cent of businesses that use AI are now using AI agents, while 91 per cent are using AI in customer service and 95 per cent in marketing.
What it means for the UAE
The UAE continues to invest in AI and to build its position as a regional hub for the technology. The partnership shows how a UAE-based company can work with one of the world’s most prominent AI firms to support local businesses.
What comes next
Nextgen plans to expand its operations and hire more specialists to meet growing demand for AI services in the region.
“AI is moving faster than ever, and we want to be at the forefront of that change. Our goal is to help every organisation in the region use AI in a way that is practical, responsible and useful,” a Nextgen representative said.
