Space42, a UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company, and Autonomous A2Z (A2Z), South Korea’s leading autonomous driving company, have signed a commercial agreement valued at USD 7 million to deploy Level-4 mobility solutions in the UAE. This is the first commercial agreement in the two companies’ broader partnership and is a direct supply contract, separate from the joint venture announced in 2025 to support the long-term commercialization of intelligent mobility solutions in the UAE. The agreement combines A2Z’s Level-4 autonomous driving technology with Space42’s AI, geospatial, and connectivity capabilities. For A2Z, the milestone represents a significant step in its international expansion strategy, while for Space42, it advances the company’s priority to enable safe and reliable driverless vehicle operations at scale. Pilot Robo-Shuttle services using A2Z’s ‘ROii’, alongside other modified and retrofitted autonomous vehicles, will undergo operational testing and demand assessment, followed by an expected expansion into Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) and tourism shuttle operations. The project aligns with the UAE’s National Smart Mobility Strategy and builds on Space42’s portfolio, including TXAI, an autonomous taxi service that has traveled more than 600,000 kilometers across 20,000 trips with zero recorded accidents since operations began in 2021. The agreement marks one of A2Z’s largest international deployments.
