Abu Dhabi, UAE – Skipr, the autonomous trust fabric for the AI era, has closed a $2 million seed funding round at a $10 million valuation. The funding will support the startup’s expansion from Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, as it scales sovereign AI infrastructure for national and enterprise deployments.
As intelligent systems increasingly operate autonomously across organizations, clouds, and borders, ensuring secure and coordinated interaction between these systems has become critical. Skipr addresses this challenge by providing a secure platform for AI systems to communicate, coordinate, and exchange value while keeping governments and enterprises in full control of their data and decision-making.
Skipr is already collaborating with telecommunications operators, AI and cybersecurity labs, and data center partners to deploy autonomous, sovereign AI digital services at national and enterprise scale. These early deployments position the company as a key enabler for organizations transitioning toward AI-ready, cross-jurisdictional digital environments.
Purpose-built for sovereign-grade use cases, Skipr allows organizations to connect systems, deploy applications, and enable trusted interactions between AI tools across networks. Using cryptographic identity, policy-driven routing, and auditable interoperability, the platform ensures data, decisions, and transactions are shared safely, transparently, and in compliance with regulatory and national requirements.
“This funding accelerates our work on what we believe is a foundational layer for the AI era,” said Andreas Hartl, CEO of Skipr Technologies. “As AI systems become autonomous and interconnected, secure AI-to-AI interoperability under sovereign control is no longer optional. We are building the trust infrastructure nations and enterprises need to deploy AI safely, confidently, and at scale.”
Operating within the Hub71+ Digital Assets specialist ecosystem, Skipr leverages Abu Dhabi’s growing network of innovators, regulators, and strategic partners to deliver globally relevant digital infrastructure.
