Technology Innovation Institute and AI71 Collaborate with AmazonWeb Services to Scale AI Innovations in the UAE and Beyond

The collaboration will expand global access to TII’s Falcon models and AI71’senterprise AI products, with a focus on access, privacy, and automation tailored to industry needs

Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation
Institute (TII), the creator of the globally ranked Falcon series of AI models and security and
privacy solutions, as well as AI71, a leading Abu Dhabi AI company delivering tailored
enterprise products, are collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expand access to
made-in-the UAE AI models and solutions.
By combining TII’s technical expertise in large language models (LLMs), AI71’s expertise in
building advanced AI agents, and world-leading cloud-based AI and machine learning services
from AWS, professionals worldwide will gain streamlined access to Falcon and customized AI
solutions that transform how people live and work.
TII already offers multiple Falcon LLMs through Amazon SageMaker, and the latest models will
also become available via the Amazon Bedrock Marketplace. The Falcon series features a wide
range of models that have consistently ranked among the top performers globally, providing
scalable solutions for diverse AI needs. Enterprises and developers will be able to integrate
Falcon into their applications through pay-as-you-go APIs, reducing the need for large amounts
of compute power.
AI71’s products, designed to empower professionals across sectors through selective automation
and agentic workflows, are already available in the AWS Marketplace, providing access for
millions of customers globally. AI71 will also work with AWS to accelerate development and
enhancement of key products through rapid prototyping and early access.
Beyond increasing adoption of AI models and products, TII and AI71 aim to advance innovation
together in several key areas using AWS technology and solutions:
 Increasing access to privacy and cybersecurity tools: TII’s PetalGuard, a privacy
preserving solution designed to enhance data privacy and protection, will also be
available in AWS Marketplace, making it easier for organizations worldwide to adopt
advanced privacy-first technologies.
 Increasing AI privacy: TII and AWS will work together on cryptographic research,
including fully homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation, to advance
secure, privacy-preserving AI machine learning technologies.

 Product innovation and global expansion: AI71 and AWS will work together to
rapidly prototype and launch new agentic AI solutions tailored to the needs of
enterprises and governments.
 AI talent development: AWS will also help strengthen AI71’s training programs,
using AWS-backed executive certifications to create industry-recognized AI
credentials.
Together, the three organizations aim to become the go-to partner for governments, institutions,
and nations seeking turnkey, world-class AI solutions at scale.
“At TII, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of applied research to deliver real-world
impact. By bringing Falcon and other AI products to AWS, we are bridging the gap between
cutting-edge innovation and real-world application. A key part of this mission is our
advancement of privacy-preserving machine learning, with novel frameworks that protect data
throughout the AI lifecycle. We’re also making cutting-edge, research-driven AI more accessible
and putting UAE technology on the map in a market dominated by a few legacy players,” said
Dr. Najwa Aaraj, TII’s CEO.
“At AI71, we’re building the next generation of powerful AI companions designed to redefine
how industries operate. Partnering with AWS enables us to scale faster, expand our offerings, and
develop in international markets with greater speed and impact. It serves as a catalyst to test,
refine, and strengthen our products beyond regional boundaries—accelerating innovation,
unlocking new business models, and forging trusted partnerships with companies, governments,
and institutions to drive enterprise AI adoption.” said Chiara Marcati, AI71’s Chief AI Advisory
and Business officer.
“AWS is proud to advance our collaboration with TII and AI71, bringing the power of Falcon
models to a wider audience,” said Tanuja Randery, Vice President, Europe, Middle East, and
Africa, AWS. “Together, we’re empowering customers to build innovative AI-powered
applications across diverse industries, from financial services to healthcare, all while maintaining
control over their data.”
“By offering Falcon through Amazon Bedrock, we’re giving customers the choice and flexibility
to leverage these cutting-edge models within a secure and high-performing environment.
Trained on AWS infrastructure, the Falcon models continue to impress technologists across the
globe, centering the UAE at the forefront of the great global AI innovation race that is
transforming government, business, culture, and society.”
