Skipr, an Abu Dhabi-based startup developing a trust fabric for autonomous AI systems, has announced the close of its USD 2 million seed funding round. The investment brings the company’s valuation to USD 10 million and will fuel its expansion from its base at Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem.
Building the Trust Fabric for Autonomous AI
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly autonomous across organizations and borders, Skipr is addressing the critical challenge of how these disparate systems can communicate and operate together securely. The company provides the foundational infrastructure for AI systems to coordinate and exchange value while ensuring governments and enterprises maintain full sovereign control over their data and decision-making processes.
Purpose-built for sovereign-grade applications, Skipr’s platform enables organizations to connect systems and deploy applications with trusted interactions between AI tools across different networks. This is achieved through cryptographic identity, policy-driven routing, and auditable interoperability, ensuring that data and transactions are shared safely and in compliance with national and regulatory requirements.
Sovereign Control in the AI Era
The funding will be used to scale Skipr’s sovereign AI infrastructure for national and enterprise deployments. The startup is already collaborating with telecommunications operators, AI labs, and data center partners to deploy its autonomous digital services, positioning itself as a key enabler for entities transitioning to AI-ready digital environments.
“This funding accelerates our work on what we believe is a foundational layer for the AI era,” said Andreas Hartl, CEO at Skipr Technologies. “As AI systems become autonomous and interconnected, secure AI-to-AI interoperability under sovereign control is no longer optional. We are building the trust infrastructure nations and enterprises need to deploy AI safely, confidently, and at scale.”
As a member of the Hub71+ Digital Assets specialist ecosystem, Skipr operates within Abu Dhabi’s expanding network of technology innovators and strategic partners focused on developing globally significant digital infrastructure.
