Multiply Group launches Innovation Labs as new engine of digital growth and AI-driven value creation

Multiply Group (ADX: MULTIPLY), the Abu Dhabi–based investment holding company, has announced the launch of its Innovation Labs, a new platform designed to accelerate digital growth and drive AI-powered value creation across the Group and its global portfolio.

Developed in partnership with Aleria, the Labs aim to unify Multiply Group’s AI initiatives, governance frameworks, and operating models under a single ecosystem. The collaboration also provides the Group with priority access to NVIDIA’s latest GPUs, AI frameworks, and global developer ecosystem, significantly enhancing its ability to deploy high-performance AI solutions at scale.

Through the partnership, portfolio companies from both Multiply Group and Aleria will gain access to NVIDIA’s Inception and Connect programmes, which support advanced technology projects with expert guidance, developer resources, and compute access. The initiative is expected to foster next-generation innovation and accelerate the growth of AI-driven startups and enterprises.

A unified platform for enterprise-scale AI

The Innovation Labs will oversee activities across data science, model engineering, and AI platform enablement, ensuring that digital innovation becomes a central driver of Multiply Group’s operational and financial performance. The Labs are also tasked with identifying, prioritising, and scaling AI innovations that deliver EBITDA impact and competitive advantage across the Group’s diverse sectors.

Aleria’s agentic AI platform plays a central role in powering the Labs, offering a scalable foundation for automation, advanced decision-making, and digital transformation across Multiply Group’s operations.

PIVOT at the core of investment intelligence

At the center of Innovation Labs is PIVOT, Multiply Group’s proprietary Predictive Investment Validation & Opportunity Tool. The AI-driven platform integrates real-time data, predictive analytics, and lifecycle intelligence from deal origination through to exit, enhancing investment decision-making and portfolio management.

Leadership perspectives

Samia Bouazza, CEO of Multiply Group, said:
“The launch of Multiply Group’s Innovation Labs is a transformative step that unites and advances our ambitious AI-led growth journey. With world-class partners, we are able to enhance perception, decision-making, and operational excellence, ushering in a new phase of intelligent investing and AI-driven value creation.”

Eric Leandri, CEO of Aleria, added:
“We’re proud to support Multiply Group in activating new areas of possibility through Aleria’s AI platform. The UAE continues to lead global AI adoption, and our solutions are primed to support the nation’s most innovative enterprises.”

Serge Lemonde, Senior Director (Inception) at NVIDIA, said:
“We are excited to support Multiply Group’s Innovation Lab and their AI projects. Through our programmes, researchers and scientists will gain access to the tools and resources needed to accelerate development and time-to-market while improving ROI.”
