Overview
Marakeb Technologies is a UAE-based autonomous systems provider founded in 2007, developing unmanned solutions for aerial, ground, and marine applications. The company's patented MAP Pro autonomous conversion kit can be integrated into any vehicle platform, enabling unmanned operations monitored via ground control stations using radio, 4G, and SATCOM communication.
Marakeb exports to over 10 countries and serves as the first anchor company in Abu Dhabi's SAVI (Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industry) cluster, developing Maritime applications at Mussafah Port. The Strategic Development Fund (SDF), investment arm of Tawazun Holding, acquired a 50% stake in the company across two rounds (2019 and 2021).
