PRESS RELEASE — Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO), a company specializing in AI-driven autonomous systems, today announced a three-year Gold Reseller Agreement with The Ghazi Group (“TGG”), a full-stack AI infrastructure and solutions provider. The agreement grants Robo.ai Gold Reseller status to distribute TGG’s edge inference servers for fully autonomous vehicles, advanced CPU and GPU server systems, as well as storage and networking systems across the MENA and selected Southeast Asian markets. The partnership is underpinned by Robo.ai’s regional integration capabilities, regulatory familiarity, and existing enterprise deployment footprint in the covered markets, addressing the high growth, high potential AI infrastructure demand.
In 2026, the Asia Pacific (APAC) edge AI market is projected to reach approximately $6.0 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.8%. The Middle East & Africa (MEA) edge AI market, while currently smaller at an estimated $3.1 billion for the same period, is experiencing rapid growth driven largely by strategic national investments, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The partnership between Robo.ai and TGG is positioned to capture a share of this growth, creating a revenue opportunity exceeding $100 million in MENA and Southeast Asia.
This partnership fundamentally transforms Robo.ai’s role from an AI robotic platform to a critical ‘compute gateway’ for enterprise and sovereign AI deployment. By accessing to essential AI infrastructure, Robo.ai is positioned at the strategic intersection of AI software, robotics, and the underlying compute architecture required for large-scale implementation.
Shafi Khan, President and CEO of The Ghazi Group stated, “We are pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Robo.ai to accelerate breakthrough innovation in fully autonomous mobility and support Robo.ai’s initiative to become the first Made-in-UAE fully autonomous vehicle manufacturer, and to become a leader in the smart open machine economy. We are committed to supporting our clients and our partners in this unique and strategic market.”
Robo.ai CEO Benjamin Zhai stated: “In an era of rapid technological and geopolitical change, Robo.ai has been forging its own path of evolution. Our strategic focus on the AI machine economy is proving its merit. We also recognize that even the best products and R&D cannot stand without foundational infrastructure and compute power. This partnership with TGG is a milestone in building Robo.ai’s strategic moat and solidifying our operational foundation.”
The collaboration is designed to generate a recurring revenue stream tied to the complete AI deployment lifecycle. Revenue will be driven not only by hardware but also by associated system integration, software licensing, and long-term technical support and service contracts. This model aligns Robo.ai’s success directly with the scaling and maintenance of its clients’ AI capabilities.
