Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. announced the agreements at its FF EAI Robotics Middle East partnership launch in Dubai, framing the move as a key step in building a local ecosystem for its intelligent robotics offerings. The California-based NASDAQ-listed company, which operates as a global embodied AI ecosystem provider, said the partnerships will cover areas from system integration and localized deployment to sector-specific applications in government, enterprise, industrial and healthcare settings. This latest development extends the firm’s regional efforts that began gaining momentum earlier in 2026 with initial frameworks focused on the UAE and GCC markets.
The company statement listed Action To Action Trading LLC, a Dubai-headquartered AI and robotics technology firm, as one partner that will collaborate on regional commercialization, customer engagement, system integration, government projects and enterprise opportunities. LEAP Interactive, a UAE-based specialist in immersive event technology, will work on incorporating intelligent robotics into performances, exhibitions and interactive scenarios, according to the announcement. Ibtikar Robotics, focused on intelligent automation, is slated to partner on industrial and healthcare uses, channel development, robotics rental models and broader commercial rollouts.
TECHLOR Information Technology will target intelligent security, autonomous patrol and inspection applications for enterprise, facility and large-scale operational environments, the company’s release continued. While two additional partners were referenced in the announcement, specific details on their roles were not immediately elaborated beyond the overall goal of advancing EAI robotics adoption. Faraday Future indicated that all six agreements aim to combine its technology with local expertise to address demand in smart infrastructure and automation across the region.
The partnerships arrive as the firm builds on its EAI bridge strategy, which has previously included cooperation on electric mobility products and potential geographic expansion into Middle East markets. Faraday Future described the Dubai event as a platform to establish stronger foundations for its robotics business in the UAE, with ripple effects expected into the wider GCC and MENA areas over time. Such collaborations are intended to support everything from procurement and technical support to identification of public-sector and industry-specific use cases.
A Grand View Research assessment projects the embodied AI market in the Middle East and Africa to register a compound annual growth rate of 34.7 percent from 2026 to 2033, expanding from roughly 195 million dollars in 2025 to 2.15 billion dollars by the end of the forecast horizon. Hardware is expected to remain both the largest and fastest-growing segment within that market, driven by rising demand for physical AI systems in automation-heavy sectors. The outlook aligns with national digital transformation programs that have elevated robotics and artificial intelligence as priorities for economic diversification in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and neighboring states.
Faraday Future has positioned the initiative as part of its shift toward embodied intelligence solutions that extend beyond traditional electric vehicles into full ecosystem applications. The company has maintained that localized partnerships will be essential for adapting its technologies to regional requirements and accelerating path-to-market timelines. Additional commercial targets, financial terms or delivery schedules tied to the six agreements were not disclosed in the initial statement.
