Nanovate Raises USD 1 Million to Lead Arabic AI Innovation Across the Middle East

The company, founded by Nancy Madbouly and Ahmed Ismail, aims to make Arabic a central part of the global AI landscape by building tools that understand and respond in multiple Arabic dialects.

Nanovate  a fast-growing artificial intelligence startup, has secured USD 1 million in funding just nine months after its launch. The company, founded by Nancy Madbouly and Ahmed Ismail, aims to make Arabic a central part of the global AI landscape by building tools that understand and respond in multiple Arabic dialects.

Nanovate develops AI chat and voice agents, automation systems, and a no-code dashboard capable of operating in 22 Arabic dialects. These solutions are designed to help businesses streamline customer support, automate workflows, and operate more efficiently while communicating naturally with Arabic-speaking users.

The founders identified a clear market gap: despite the rapid expansion of generative AI tools, many platforms lacked accurate Arabic language support. Nanovate’s technology bridges that gap, offering culturally and linguistically relevant AI services tailored to the needs of businesses across the Middle East and North Africa.

With this latest funding, the company plans to expand into Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, strengthen its integration with enterprise tools, and grow its product and engineering teams. The move positions Nanovate as a key player in the emerging Arabic AI ecosystem, with ambitions to lead innovation across voice, chat, and automation technologies in the region.
