The full investment was provided by Abu Dhabi-based BlueFive Capital, according to a company statement. Origen said the funding will be used to fast-track product development, expand strategic partnerships, and attract specialised AI talent.
Founded in 2025, Origen focuses on applying AI to real-world infrastructure and operational environments, including smart cities, green energy systems, advanced manufacturing, and what it describes as the “autonomous workforce.”
The company aims to address operational challenges within government services, although it did not disclose specific deployment details.
Origen currently offers four core products spanning digital infrastructure and AI automation.
Its digital twin platform, SpatialWare, is designed for the built environment, enabling planning and scheduling across multiple layers, from city-scale projects to individual building components within a unified system.
Stellaware, the company’s geospatial intelligence platform, aggregates and analyzes data from more than 400 low-Earth-orbit satellites to provide real-time spatial insights.
Origen’s agentic AI platform for enterprises, AWF, is built to process and integrate information from documents, spreadsheets, screenshots, and system logs into structured business workflows.
The company also offers Domia, a smart home service that uses AI to manage connected devices, including security systems, cameras, and climate controls.
The funding positions Origen to expand its AI footprint across public and private sector infrastructure as the UAE continues investing heavily in digital transformation and automation initiatives.
Why Origen Matters to MENA
Origen’s $50 million raise highlights a growing regional focus on applied AI — moving beyond pilot programs into infrastructure-level deployment.
Rather than building consumer AI tools, the startup is targeting core systems across government services, smart cities, manufacturing, and energy. This aligns closely with Gulf governments’ push toward automation, digital twins, and AI-enabled public services.
The investment also reflects Abu Dhabi’s broader strategy of backing domestic AI champions capable of embedding advanced technologies into national infrastructure.
For MENA, the deal signals a shift toward operational AI systems designed to manage cities, industries, and homes, positioning the region not only as an AI adopter but as a builder of integrated AI ecosystems.
