Infinia's First North Star Outing: AI, Cloud, and Real Deals
TL;DR
  • Infinia makes its first Expand North Star appearance in 2025.
  • SAIF is the centrepiece: an IHC-backed, enterprise AI OS with an AI Foundry and sovereign GPU stack.
  • Expect JV and partnership signings during the show.

Infinia Technologies will make its debut at GITEX Expand North Star 2025 at Dubai Harbour. The Abu Dhabi company will show off an expanding portfolio that spans AI, HealthTech, cloud and modular systems. The headline act is SAIF, an IHC platform pitched as an enterprise-grade AI OS with a full stack—compute, training, agent design and security—built in Abu Dhabi. Infinia also plans to sign joint venture and partnership agreements during the show, in line with the UAE’s push to speed up digital transformation.

What Infinia is bringing to Dubai

A multi-sector lineup aimed at practical digital transformation.

  • AI-driven platforms for organisations
  • HealthTech products and services
  • Cloud infrastructure plays
  • Modular technology systems for faster rollout

The company describes a portfolio of subsidiaries that cover key transformation blocks. The pitch is simple: tools that help industries move faster, with local and global relevance. That breadth—AI to HealthTech to cloud—suggests Infinia wants to be seen less as a single product firm and more as a UAE-rooted ecosystem player.

SAIF: the “sovereign AI” platform to watch

An enterprise AI OS plus an AI Foundry, built in Abu Dhabi.

  • Developed under International Holding Company (IHC)
  • Announced at Make it in the Emirates 2025
  • Includes sovereign GPU infrastructure for training/inference
  • Adds a Finetuning Academy and agent/workflow tooling
  • Framed around sovereignty, openness and global scale

SAIF is positioned as an enterprise-grade AI operating system and ecosystem. Beyond chatty “agents”, it bundles a full AI Foundry with sovereign GPU capacity, a training/finetuning track to upskill teams, and tooling to design agents and automate workflows across modalities. The Abu Dhabi origin is not just branding; sovereignty and control over data and deployment are core to the message, with a target market spanning government, big enterprise and startups.

Why it matters for the UAE: the country is investing in sovereign cloud and AI stacks. If SAIF delivers on unified workflows and secure scale, it could slot into ongoing public-sector and regulated-industry programmes.

Deals on the floor: JV and partnership signings

Short version: expect signatures, not just demos.

  • Strategic joint ventures planned
  • Partnerships with global tech providers
  • Tie-ups with government enablers

Infinia isn’t only exhibiting kit. It plans to “put pen to paper” on JV agreements and partnerships during the show. The focus on both global vendors and government enablers points to a go-to-market that needs policy alignment and heavyweight supply chains—common for AI, cloud and HealthTech deployments in regulated sectors.

A milestone in its growth story

Short version: first North Star outing, broader mission.

  • Debut presence at the world’s largest startup and investor connector
  • Signal of maturity for the Abu Dhabi firm
  • Fits the UAE’s innovation agenda and digital ambitions

Expand North Star is a stage for startups, investors and scale-ups to connect. Infinia calls this appearance a “major milestone” as it aims to attract partners and push collaboration. The narrative lines up with the national goal to strengthen the UAE’s position as a global tech hub.
