Veeam is all set to acquire Securiti AI for $1.725 billion. Securiti AI is a recognized leader in Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) that also spans privacy, governance, access, and AI trust across hybrid, multi-cloud, and SaaS platforms. Veeam and Securiti AI unify data resilience with DSPM, privacy, governance, and AI trust spanning production and secondary data. Together, they will help customers understand their full data estate, while providing security, along with recovery and rollback, to unleash the value of their data for AI.

With the acquisition of Securiti AI, Veeam eliminates the challenge of managing fragmented data across apps, clouds, SaaS, endpoints, and backups. CIOs, CISOs, and CDOs will have a unified command center to fully control and understand all their data, as well as secure it with near-zero data loss or business downtime, recover and rollback data and AI with precision, and safely unleash AI innovation. This single control plane across production and secondary data enables enterprises to uniformly command their entire data estate – combining Veeam’s trusted data resilience capabilities with Securiti AI’s leading DSPM, data privacy, and AI trust capabilities.

The combination of Veeam and Securiti AI dramatically mitigates these trade-offs with a single command center for all data.

“We’ve entered a new era for data. It’s no longer about just protecting data from cyber threats and unforeseen disasters; it’s also about identifying all your data, ensuring it’s governed and trusted to power AI transparently,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam. “This is the single most critical factor in failed AI initiatives. By combining the market-leading strengths of Veeam and Securiti AI, we bring those capabilities together in a single solution to help customers understand, secure, recover, and rollback, and unleash their data to drive new business value.”

“Enterprise AI is simply not possible without data security. Securiti AI solves that and enables the safe use of data and AI,” said Rehan Jalil, CEO at Securiti AI. “Bringing together our unique capabilities with Veeam, the global leader in data resilience, creates a new value proposition for customers with one data command center delivering data resilience, DSPM, privacy, governance, and AI trust for your entire data estate. Veeam’s global reach and innovation, combined with our technology and intelligence, will provide customers with unmatched business resilience and security to fully unlock the benefits of AI.”

As a partner of choice, IFZA is proud to contribute to an ecosystem where collaboration drives real growth.”

During the immersion week, Scale360 partnered with Shorooq Partners for their annual GITEX Social, one of the region’s most influential startup networking events. The gathering brought together over 300 investors, partners, and ecosystem enablers, including other partners NVIDIA, Taylor Wessing, ElevenLabs, LimonCloud, and Verod-Kepple. The event coincided with Shorooq’s recent announcement of a $100 million AI fund, aligning with the UAE’s Vision 2031 and its ambition to lead in AI and sustainability.

A highlight of the program so far was the fireside chat “Do’s and Don’ts for Foreign Startups Entering the UAE”, featuring Gilles Praet (Sentiance), Fabrizio Siracusano (serial entrepreneur and innovation expert), and Yahya Iqelan (MBZUAI). The panel explored how public, private, and entrepreneurial sectors collaborate to drive growth and shared actionable insights for startups entering the UAE market.

The international Moscow Startup Summit has concluded in the Russian capital, becoming one of the year’s most important global events in technology and innovation. The summit brought together leading international experts and representatives of tech companies from 40 countries. Among the key events in the business program were startup pitch sessions, exhibitions, and the demo day of the international accelerator Sber500.

Over two days, the summit hosted more than 60 discussions and sessions focused on artificial intelligence, sustainable development, and technological entrepreneurship. Participants from China, India, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries discussed global economic challenges and strategies for adapting to a rapidly changing technological reality.

The summit opened with a plenary conference featuring Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and Sber CEO Herman Gref, who discussed human-centered technologies and the future of megacities, as well as how digital ecosystems are transforming modern life.

International headliners included 2024 Nobel laureate in Economics Daron Acemoglu, three-time Academy Award winner Oliver Stone, and future-readiness expert Selina Neri. Their talks addressed key issues in global technological development — from the future of AI and its social implications to new models of education and career growth in the digital era, and the role of creativity in entrepreneurship.

A central part of the summit was a large-scale startup exhibition, featuring around 100 Russian and international projects. Notable examples included:

• Gumich, which showcased its Gorodovoy robotic technology complex.
• AI Deepfake, which developed tools to combat the spread of falsified digital content.
• TUBOT, which presented in-pipeline robots for diagnostics, repair, and cleaning of pipelines.

• ExoAtlet, which unveiled a medical exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of patients with lower-limb impairments.
• Titan Power Solution, which presented a supercapacitor-based energy storage system — a high-power, efficient device capable of regenerative charging.

International guests showed strong interest in AI and machine learning solutions, green technologies, and urban digitalization. Among the showcased projects were Russian startups already scaling globally — such as Virsine Innovations, which created a VR-based system for remote operation of industrial machinery, including cranes and mining excavators. Startups from Iran, the UAE, India, Pakistan, and other countries also took part.

The summit became a key platform for strategic partnerships between Russian and international companies.

One major announcement was the creation of Europe’s largest testing ground for innovation in the construction sector, to be developed jointly by the Moscow Innovation Cluster and SberCity.

The event also saw major investment deals in the tech sector. A consortium including KAMA FLOW (lead investor) and Osnova Capital announced a ₽1 billion investment in Piklema Group, which develops software solutions for the mining industry. Additionally, venture fund Friendly VC revealed plans to invest ₽50 million in SmartSee, the developer of iCrossWalk, a smart pedestrian crossing system.

The Moscow Startup Summit concluded with the Startup Summit Awards, established by the Moscow Government and Sber to recognize outstanding achievements in technology and innovation. The awards ceremony became the culmination of the two-day event, highlighting the scale of Russia’s innovation ecosystem.

More than 1,700 applications were submitted from 79 regions of Russia, including 370 entries for the Best AI Solution category and over 160 projects competing for Best Urban Innovation.

Winners were recognized across 17 categories in five main areas — startups, venture investors, corporations, regions and universities, and media promoting technological entrepreneurship.

The Moscow Startup Summit was organized by the Moscow Government and Sber, The event brought together over 5,000 participants, including representatives of venture funds, tech corporations, and research institutions.

Osome, the AI-enabled business management platform trusted by over 30,000 entrepreneurs globally, announced the opening of its office in Dubai to help founders reduce financial and administrative burdens and build a collaborative ecosystem of partners in the Middle East.

It is estimated that Dubai is home to more than one million small and medium enterprises (SMEs). While the city offers unparalleled opportunities, founders face increasing pressures to manage accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements alongside scaling their businesses.

“At Osome, we want founders to spend more time on their vision and less time on financial admin,” said Helena Flores, Chief Operating Officer of Osome and Managing Director of Osome UAE.

“Our role is twofold: first, to reduce financial and administrative burdens for founders through smart, AI-enabled services backed by human experts. Second, to grow together with the UAE ecosystem by working with partners – from fintechs and digital platforms to VCs and accelerators – to unlock new opportunities for entrepreneurs.”

One of Osome’s customers is Aesty Labs, co-founded by Nadia Zueva (CEO) and Andrei Rychkov (CTO). Nadia said, “Partnering with Osome has transformed Aesty. Their AI-enabled platform has freed us from over 30 hours of monthly admin tasks, allowing us to focus on learning our customers’ styles and helping them shop smarter. With clear visibility into our financials, we can drive growth and improve investor reporting.”

Services for Founders
Osome’s services are available in the UAE, including:

• Accounting and bookkeeping: Dedicated accountants with unlimited bookkeeping.
• VAT & Corporate Tax: End-to-end support for VAT registration, VAT filing, and corporate tax filing requirements.
• Compliance: Monitoring statutory filing deadlines and financial statement requirements under the entity’s constitutional documents.

Building an Ecosystem of Partners
Osome is keen to engage with the UAE ecosystem and will take part in Expand North Star @ GITEX 2025, the world’s largest startup and investor connector event. At this event, they will connect with potential collaborators and showcase their platform. Additionally, Osome will host a private networking event for entrepreneurs and partners the night before to help build the community in Dubai.

In its existing markets – Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom – Osome works with a broad pool of partners, including digital solution providers, venture capitalists, and accelerators. These partnerships have helped founders access complementary services that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and accelerate growth.

By replicating this model in Dubai, Osome aims to embed itself as an ecosystem enabler, constantly seeking out the right partners to deliver added value for UAE entrepreneurs.

Helena added: “Osome’s expansion into the UAE positions us closer to a rapidly evolving ecosystem of global innovation. The UAE’s commitment to attracting talent, enhancing financial transparency, and digitising government processes aligns with our vision. As more entrepreneurs relocate to the region, our aim is to deliver efficient, tech-driven solutions to empower these founders in managing their businesses and financials transparently and productively.”

Dubai-based fintech startup UPFRONT has secured a $10 million pre-seed round, a mix of equity and debt allocation, to tackle one of the most persistent pain points for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the MENA region, which is cash flow inefficiencies.

The round was led by venture capital funds Palm Ventures and SABAH.fund, with participation from a network of strategic angel investors. The funding will fuel product development and hiring across the UAE and soon Saudi Arabia.

Launched in May 2025 by serial entrepreneurs Anas Qudah, Abdullah Alghadouni, and Mahmoud Abdel-Fattah Moursy, whose prior experience spans Careem, Dubizzle, Property Finder, Nana, and Cartona. UPFRONT is building what it calls a “next-generation financial operating system” for MENA’s underserved SMB sector.

Its platform integrates seamlessly with existing accounting software to deliver real-time financial analytics, automate receivables, orchestrate payments, and unlock working capital, all while reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and friction around cash flow.

“Cash flow inefficiencies are one of the biggest growth bottlenecks for SMBs in MENA,” said Anas Qudah, UPFRONT’s co-founder and CEO. “We’re building financial infrastructure that gives these businesses real-time visibility, faster access to credit, and tools that enable them to operate with more confidence and less manual overhead.”

In under six months, UPFRONT has attracted top regional and international investors and secured a strategic partnership with CredibleX, one of the region’s leading embedded finance platforms, giving it access to more flexible capital structures to serve SMBs with varying liquidity needs.

According to UPFRONT, the funding gap for SMBs in MENA sits at roughly $250 billion, largely driven by inefficient financial operations and delayed receivables across industries like F&B, FMCG, retail, and manufacturing.

Radwan Abudawood, General Partner at Palm Ventures, echoed the sentiment, pointing to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly maturing fintech landscape, “The Kingdom’s fintech ecosystem is hitting an inflection point,” Abudawood said. “UPFRONT is tackling foundational gaps in SMB financial infrastructure, and their execution so far makes them one of the most promising players we’ve seen in the space.”

Abbas Kazmi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at SABAH.fund, said the firm was drawn to UPFRONT’s approach to solving this “invisible tax” on regional SMBs, “Their innovative blend of revenue-based financing, payment orchestration, and accounts receivable automation directly targets the critical liquidity issues choking business growth,” Kazmi said. “We are truly excited by UPFRONT’s vision and believe that they have the right team in place to deliver on this huge promise and create lasting impact.”

With operations in both the UAE and soon Saudi Arabia, UPFRONT plans to use the new capital to grow its engineering and go-to-market teams, and double down on building infrastructure that empowers SMBs to grow sustainably, without the constraints of outdated financial workflows.
