Yango, a technology company dedicated to enhancing local communities through global innovations, has announced plans for a new global operational office in Dubai Internet City.
The move to establish Yango’s global operational office represents a milestone to oversee operations of its ride-hailing, deliver and tech services.
The office will serve as a centre for Yango’s operations in over 20 countries in the Middle East, Africa and more.
Ammar Al Malik, Executive Vice President – Commercial at TECOM Group signed an agreement with Islam Abdul Karim, General Manager of Yango GCC, and Adeniyi Adebayo, Chief Business Development Officer, Yango, to officially welcome the innovative company to the technology district.
“By being based within thriving technology districts such as Dubai Internet City, mobility companies can foster collaboration with global peers, start-ups, and research institutions, as well as access a pool of globally experienced and skilled professionals and diversify into new markets.
“We are pleased to welcome Yango to leverage our district’s strengths to expand its operations and will continue to align our efforts with strategic visions like Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’ to champion exponential growth for our industry.
“Revolutionising urban transportation is essential to achieve global priorities such as reducing emissions and enhancing mobility options for millions around the world,” stated Al Malik.
The company is currently working on an Arabic-speaking, human-like AI-powered assistant called Yasmina – an empathetic companion that executes more than just basic tasks like streaming music or controlling smart home appliances.
The assistant is available for beta testing and is being showcased at GITEX Global 2023.
“Dubai’s progressive, innovation-friendly business environment, world-class infrastructure, and strategic location make it the perfect choice for Yango to embark on a global expansion.
“Dubai Internet City, renowned for its role in nurturing the technology and innovation sector for over two decades, emerged as the ideal location for Yango’s new global operational office,” said Adebayo.
