The platform is built. We're bringing it to the Emirates.

Investor Briefing · Stage: Go-to-Market · Regional base: United Arab Emirates, in formation

Many early cybersecurity rounds still pay for the prototype. At Identiqa, the first product generation is built: the 2U AuraLink appliance, ProtectionGrid, the Cluster Resilience System AuraCore, and the Aura defence AI. Capital goes into the market, not the lab.

Identiqa is establishing its Middle East base in the Emirates, and a founder will live here to lead it. The reason is the buyer. Boards here are asked where their primary backups physically sit, and AuraLink answers in two rack units: inside the customer's own rack, in the Emirates. Delivery starts now, run remotely with local implementation partners while the regional base is formed. We're speaking with investors and programme partners who know how sovereign infrastructure gets sold to banks, government-related entities, and family-owned groups in the Gulf.

Four pillars of the current stage

1. R&D risk is retired

AuraLink with dual Aura processors and post-quantum protocols, ProtectionGrid with hardware-locked backups, the Cluster Resilience System AuraCore, and the Aura defence AI are built and operating as one platform.

R&D RISK RETIRED · PRODUCT BUILT

2. Capital goes into the market

Reference deployments in the Emirates and the wider Gulf. A sales motion that closes without the founder in the room. And annual recurring revenue (ARR) that holds up in diligence.

3. Data sovereignty is a board question here

Cyber incidents rank as the top global business risk for the fifth year in a row, cited by 42% of respondents (Allianz Risk Barometer 2026). In the Emirates, UAE IA, Dubai DESC ISR, CBUAE requirements, and the PDPL put resilience and the location of data in front of the board. Identiqa answers with hardware the customer owns.

4. Hardware in the rack doesn't churn like a seat licence

Identiqa combines its own 2U edge hardware with storage-locked immutable backups, server resilience, defence AI, and 24/7 incident response. Once AuraLink is racked, nobody pulls it out for a dashboard.
