Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence firm Origen said on Thursday it had raised $50 million in a strategic investment from Bluefive Capital, as demand accelerates for AI systems designed for real-world commercial and government use.
The funding will support Origen’s expansion across sectors including government services, smart homes and advanced manufacturing, the company said, as it seeks to scale artificial intelligence solutions that address complex operational challenges.
Founded by a group of senior technology executives, Origen focuses on embedding AI into practical workflows rather than experimental applications, aiming to deliver measurable efficiency and productivity gains. Its leadership team brings experience across enterprise technology, digital transformation and large-scale systems deployment.
Origen operates at the intersection of applied research and operational execution, partnering with public and private sector organisations to translate emerging AI technologies into production-ready systems designed for long-term reliability and resilience.
The investment comes as Abu Dhabi accelerates efforts to diversify its economy beyond hydrocarbons, with technology and artificial intelligence identified as key pillars of growth. The emirate has been investing heavily in building a globally competitive innovation ecosystem capable of developing and deploying advanced technologies at scale.
Origen said the new capital would be used to speed up product development, deepen strategic partnerships and attract global talent, strengthening its position as an AI implementation partner for mission-critical environments.
