About Nabat

Why Nabat?

Technology is often seen as a threat to nature. But it can also be a powerful ally.

We are Nabat, a new UAE climate tech venture, using powerful technology to let ecosystems speak to us about their unique and complex needs.

Our innovative AI and autonomous robotics solution, developed at Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute in collaboration with ecologists, enables the design and implementation of scalable, data-driven ecosystem conservation and restoration strategies that are tailored to each unique habitat.

We're honored to be part of the UAE's national mangrove restoration program, caring for thousands of hectares of mangroves over the next decade.

Our Team

We are a diverse team of roboticists, AI engineers, and ecologists from around the world. Our passion for using technology to drive climate action unites us.

SOLUTIONS

Nabat provides science-backed technology for managing, restoring, and monitoring coastal, marine, and arid ecosystems.

Our methodology has four steps:

Assessment

Mapping ecosystems to assess health and needs

Survey habitats at scale using high-resolution satellite and drone imagery
Create precise site maps as photo mosaics, 3D reconstructions, and land use/cover overlays
Assess ecosystem health, identify species, and estimate populations and densities using AI and computer vision analysis
Understand underlying ecological and environmental factors, including vegetative health, regeneration, hydrology, topology, soil characteristics, and tidal flows

Planning

Using data and insights to design a tailored management and restoration plan

Collate and manage our ecological and field data in our AI-powered platform
Select optimal restoration sites using science-backed scoring criteria and ground truthing
Create tailored management and restoration plans that adhere to local guidelines
Design monitoring strategies, including sampling and impact studies

Restoration

Dispersing seeds exactly where they're needed using autonomous robotics

Mapping - Surveying Habitat and Elevation Data

Generate site-specific seeding plans, including seeding corridors, rates, and distribution patterns
Plan multi-robot missions for rapid in-field execution in tight seeding windows
Deploy our purpose-built autonomous seeding drones to perform high-output aerial seeding, restoring hundreds of hectares per day
