Inception, a G42 company and a prominent innovator in AI-powered enterprise solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi-headquartered AppliedAI. The collaboration, formalized at the World Economic Forum in Davos, aims to build and deliver a unified platform for advanced agentic workflow automation targeting global organizations.
Forging A Global Benchmark in AI Automation
The partnership will leverage AppliedAI’s flagship platform, Opus, which features the world’s first enterprise-scale Large Work Model (LWM) and Work Knowledge Graph (WKG). This technology enables organizations to design, automate, and supervise structured workflows, particularly within highly regulated industries.
By combining Opus with Inception’s expertise in deploying secure AI products at an enterprise and national scale, the two companies will deliver a unified platform designed for advanced decision intelligence and operational execution. The initiative aims to support national digital priorities and large-scale enterprise transformations, setting a new global standard for AI-enabled strategic operations.
Addressing The AI Scaling Challenge
This collaboration comes as many enterprises struggle to move beyond AI pilot projects to achieve widespread operational impact. According to a McKinsey & Company report, nearly two-thirds of organizations have yet to begin scaling AI across their enterprise, with workflow redesign being the most critical factor for success. This partnership directly addresses that challenge by creating a solution for intelligent, agent-driven operations in sensitive and mission-critical environments.
Leadership Perspectives on the Partnership
Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception, commented on the new venture, stating, “Our partnership with AppliedAI unlocks a new class of AI-driven enterprise solutions designed for real-world complexity and scale. With a platform that integrates intelligent agent orchestration with deep workflow and decision intelligence, organizations can move beyond experimentation to operational AI that delivers measurable impact.”
Arya Bolurfrushan, CEO of AppliedAI, added, “Enterprises and governments are converging on a simple requirement: AI systems that don’t just inform decisions, but execute work reliably, transparently, and at scale. Partnering with Inception allows Opus to extend this capability across new markets and the world’s most complex organizations. Together, we are turning strategic intent into operational reality.”
