Robo.ai Inc. said it has signed a joint venture agreement with Abu Dhabi-based Eleven International Holdings to pursue the creation of Alif Holding, a new AI-focused industrial group in the UAE capital. The planned venture is aimed at serving infrastructure, government and industrial markets.
According to the announcement, Alif Holding is intended to bring artificial intelligence capabilities to sectors that typically require large-scale systems, operational efficiency and long-term technology support. The focus on infrastructure and public-sector work suggests the venture is targeting practical, enterprise-level AI deployment rather than consumer products.
The move also highlights Abu Dhabi’s growing role as a base for strategic technology partnerships, especially in areas tied to industry and government modernization. For Robo.ai, the agreement expands its presence in the Gulf region through a local partnership structure tied to key institutional and industrial segments.
The available release did not provide full details on timing, investment size or the final operating structure of Alif Holding. Even so, the announcement positions the proposed group as a new platform for AI services across some of the region’s most important economic sectors.
