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.
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.
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. And mangroves are just the beginning—we’ll be expanding to other habitats.
Want to build technology that cares for Earth’s ecosystems, from forests to deserts to farmland and coral reefs?
Nabat is based in Abu Dhabi, and powered by the Advanced Technology Research Council’s commercialization arm, VentureOne.
