Technology Innovation Institute and AI71 Collaborate with Amazon Web Services
Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII) and AI71 are collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expand access to made-in-the-UAE AI models and solutions. The partnership combines TII’s technical expertise in large language models, AI71’s expertise in building advanced AI agents, and AWS’s world-leading cloud-based AI and machine learning services.
The collaboration will make TII’s Falcon AI models and AI71’s enterprise AI products more accessible globally, with a focus on access, privacy, and automation tailored to industry needs. TII’s Falcon models are already available through Amazon SageMaker, and the latest models will be accessible via the Amazon Bedrock Marketplace. This will allow enterprises and developers to integrate Falcon into their applications through pay-as-you-go APIs, reducing the need for extensive compute power.
AI71’s products, designed to empower professionals across sectors through selective automation and agentic workflows, are already available in the AWS Marketplace. The partnership aims to advance innovation in several key areas, including increasing access to privacy and cybersecurity tools, advancing AI privacy through cryptographic research, and accelerating product innovation and global expansion.
“At TII, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of applied research to deliver real-world impact,” said Dr. Najwa Aaraj, TII’s CEO. “By bringing Falcon and other AI products to AWS, we are bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and real-world application.”
Chiara Marcati, AI71’s Chief AI Advisory and Business Officer, noted, “Partnering with AWS enables us to scale faster, expand our offerings, and develop in international markets with greater speed and impact.”
Tanuja Randery, Vice President of Europe, Middle East, and Africa at AWS, stated, “We’re proud to advance our collaboration with TII and AI71, bringing the power of Falcon models to a wider audience. Together, we’re empowering customers to build innovative AI-powered applications across diverse industries while maintaining control over their data.”
The partnership between TII, AI71, and AWS aims to make the three organizations the go-to partner for governments, institutions, and nations seeking turnkey, world-class AI solutions at scale.
