Abu Dhabi Teams Up with Alpheya for AI Wealth Tech
In a significant move to boost the financial services sector, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has partnered with Alpheya, a prominent AI-driven wealth management platform. This collaboration aims to foster innovation, create high-skilled jobs with a focus on Emiratisation, and support Abu Dhabi’s broader vision of becoming a global hub for finance and technology.
By using AI, the platform enables banks, asset managers, and advisors to offer efficient and tailored financial services. This approach aligns well with the emirate’s ambition to attract high-impact investors and strengthen its knowledge-based economy.
To support its regional expansion, Alpheya will open a new office in Al Ain. Over the next three years, the company also plans significant capital and operational investments. With support from ADIO, Alpheya will push ahead with the registration of new intellectual property and simplify market entry for global financial institutions in Abu Dhabi. These steps aim to position the emirate as a launchpad for next-generation financial services.
Developing Talent and Driving Financial Literacy
Beyond technological innovation, Alpheya is taking clear steps to support local talent development. The firm will establish internship programmes tailored to Emiratis, while also launching financial literacy initiatives aimed at both students and educators. Additionally, an international exposure programme will help UAE Nationals gain global experience in the financial sector.
These initiatives not only enhance the local skills pool but also align with the UAE’s national strategy for economic diversification and sustainable growth. By investing in people as well as technology, the partnership highlights a holistic approach to industry advancement.
Setting a New Standard in Regional Wealth Management
According to His Excellency Badr Al-Olama, Director General of ADIO, the collaboration supports Abu Dhabi’s goal of becoming a centre of excellence for digital wealth management. He noted that the partnership with Alpheya strengthens the emirate’s financial ecosystem and positions it for long-term success.
Roger Rouhana, CEO of Alpheya, emphasized that the partnership represents a major milestone. With ADIO’s backing, Alpheya plans to scale its AI-powered platform, helping institutions deliver smart, data-driven investment services. As a result, Abu Dhabi is poised to lead the way in the future of wealth technology.
