Abu Dhabi, UAE – October 17, 2026 – Ahya Technologies (Ahya), an Emirati sustainability innovation company, announced today that it has been selected as a UAE Future 100 company (2025), a national award recognizing the 100 most promising small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) shaping the country’s future economy. A joint initiative of the UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism (MOET) and the Government Development and the Future Office, launched by His Excellency Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, the Future 100 awardees were unveiled at Investopia Bridge 2026 in Abu Dhabi.

The Future 100 recognises and accelerates high-potential enterprises across the UAE’s new-economy sectors, driving investment, private-sector innovation, and sustainable enterprise growth. Companies are assessed against criteria spanning business model innovation, market potential, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact. Ahya’s selection places the company among the ventures shaping the next chapter of the UAE’s economy and highlights the role of its sustainable AI in advancing the nation’s economic diversification and net-zero agendas.

At the event His Excellency Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri said:

“The UAE is keen to support startups and companies operating in the new economy sectors and help them develop their businesses and expand into markets through an integrated ecosystem of enablers, legislation, incentives, and programmes that grant them access to funding, expertise, and markets, while enhancing their ability to innovate and forge new partnerships. The ‘Future 100’ initiative embodies this approach by highlighting promising companies every year and supporting their growth and expansion.”

As the UAE advances its Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, Ahya’s inclusion in the Future 100 underscores the role of localized, sustainable AI in helping regional industries move from reporting to active, measurable decarbonization.

The recognition supports Ahya’s mission to reduce 100 MtCO₂e  per annum by 2030. Through AhyaOS for emissions and ESG data management and reporting, AhyaAI, its patented climate intelligence for prediction, automation, and decision support, and Tawazun, its AI-enabled voluntary carbon marketplace connecting buyers with high-integrity credits.

As global AI development accelerates, Ahya continues to collaborate with regulators, public sector entities and global institutions such as the United Nations in developing sustainable AI models, and digital public infrastructure (DPI) localized to the economic needs and institutional voids across the Global South.
