Nanovate: This Egyptian Startup is Building Arabic AI Tools That Help Businesses Work Faster in Their Own Language
Egyptian startup Nanovate is emerging as one of the most focused Arabic-first AI automation companies in the Middle East and North Africa, developing tools for organisations that want technology built around their language, culture, and operational reality.
Although more than 400 million people speak Arabic globally, fewer than three per cent of global AI tools offer native Arabic support. This gap has forced many regional businesses to rely on English-based systems. Nanovate is directly addressing this challenge by building AI that can understand, think, and respond naturally across 22 Arabic dialects.
Founded in January 2024 by Nancy Madbouly and Ahmed Gamal, the company is constructing an end-to-end AI ecosystem that enables businesses to operate faster and smarter using technology built for their language and market.
“Nanovate is a technology company that helps businesses across industries unlock the power of AI and automation. From intelligent AI Agents to full-scale digital transformation, we design and build tailored solutions that streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and drive growth,” the company’s LinkedIn page says.
