In a significant development for the artificial intelligence sector, Inception—a G42 subsidiary and regional leader in AI-powered enterprise solutions—has entered into a strategic partnership with AppliedAI, an Abu Dhabi-based technology firm renowned for its enterprise AI exports. The collaboration was formally established during the World Economic Forum in Davos, signaling a joint commitment to setting new global standards in AI-driven strategic decision-making and operational execution.
AppliedAI brings to the partnership its flagship innovation, Opus—an AI-native workflow platform featuring the world’s first enterprise-scale Large Work Model (LWM) and Work Knowledge Graph (WKG). This technology enables organizations to design, automate, supervise, and audit structured, executable workflows, particularly within highly regulated industries. Combined with Inception’s expertise in developing and deploying secure, scalable AI products at both enterprise and national levels, the alliance aims to accelerate the adoption of intelligent, agent-driven operations in sensitive and mission-critical environments.
The partnership addresses a pressing market need identified in McKinsey & Company’s State of AI in 2025 report, which reveals that nearly two-thirds of organizations have yet to scale AI across their enterprises. The report further highlights workflow redesign as the critical differentiator between high-performing AI implementations and less successful endeavors.
Through this collaboration, the companies will deliver a unified platform powered by Opus that enables advanced enterprise workflow automation, decision intelligence, and large-scale execution. Designed to support national digital priorities and enterprise transformation initiatives, the platform represents a significant advancement in operational AI capabilities.
Ashish Koshy, CEO of Inception, emphasized the transformative potential of the partnership: ‘Our collaboration with AppliedAI unlocks a new class of AI-driven enterprise solutions designed for real-world complexity and scale. With a platform that integrates intelligent agent orchestration with deep workflow and decision intelligence, organizations can transition from experimentation to operational AI that delivers measurable impact.’
Arya Bolurfrushan, CEO of AppliedAI, added: ‘Enterprises and governments increasingly demand AI systems that not only inform decisions but execute work reliably, transparently, and at scale. Partnering with Inception allows Opus to extend this capability across new markets and the world’s most complex organizations. Together, we are turning strategic intent into operational reality.’
