Powered by AI in the GCC:
- Digitally transform HSE management SafeNexus.ai for GCC companies and HSE consultants.
- A bilingual platform specifically designed for the unique regulatory environment of the GCC.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 2026: Hi-Tech AI, a leading provider of AI-powered enterprise solutions for the Dubai-based Farinc Group of Companies, has launched safenexus.ai, the GCC’s first AI-powered health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ) management platform, tailored to meet customer needs.
Designed specifically for the GCC market, safenexus.ai platform fills a critical gap identified by Hi-Tech, as the majority of HSE consultancy firms in the region are still managing safety operations using spreadsheets, paper forms and legacy offline systems.
Unlike international HSE and quality program platforms designed for Western regulatory frameworks, SafeNexus.ai from scratch is designed to comply with the compliance requirements of the GCC countries, including: licensing (Dubai Economic Zone Authority), OSHAD (Abu Dhabi Occupational Safety and Health Center), safety standards of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development of Saudi Arabia, and international frameworks including ISO 45001 and ISO 14001.
Javiria Ijaz, Managing Director of Hi-Tech AI, said: “The HSE market in the GCC is undergoing a transformation. Regulators are tightening compliance requirements, and companies are expanding rapidly, yet the majority of safety management is still via electronic schedules.”
”The mission of the SafeNexus.ai platform is to change this reality, not just for large companies, but for the thousands of medium-sized companies that rely on HSE consultancy firms to manage their safety operations,” she added.
The GCC environmental health and safety market size is expected to reach US$500 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.5%, driven by enhanced regulatory enforcement in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, the expansion of Vision 2030 infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, and the increasing ESG reporting requirements by international investors.
Despite this growth, market research indicates that more than 72% of GCC companies with fewer than 500 employees still manage HSE operations manually, with SafeNexus.ai platform targeting this underserved segment through its network of consulting partners, reaching thousands of SMEs through a network of trusted local advisors, rather than selling directly to companies.
The platform unifies nine core HSE functions, including incident management, work permits, risk assessment, audit and inspection, compliance tracking, and training management, into a single cloud-based system that can be accessed from any device.
The launch marks a milestone in the region’s digital transformation of safety, and as one of the largest smart and environmentally friendly integrated facility management companies in the UAE, Farnec is already using the platform.
Markus Oberlin, CEO of Farnek Group, said: “The SafeNexus.ai platform is built on the SAFETEK platform, Hi-Tech AI’s health, safety, environment and quality platform, which has proven to be effective in corporate operations not only within the Farnek Group of 12,000 employees, but also with external clients such as IKEA Saudi Arabia, Oil Chemistry, Sports Boulevard Foundation, Expo City, Yas Marina, Dubai Police, Dubai Airport and Mashreq Bank.
”This is an established technology that has been tested in production, and is available to the market for the first time under a white label model, and is not a new platform in development,” Oberlin added.
What sets SafeNexus.ai apart from all other HSE platforms in the GCC market is its own branded architecture.
Instead of competing with HSE consultancies, SafeNexus.ai collaborate with them, enabling consultants to deploy the platform under their own brand, logo and domain, and resell it directly to their existing clients. This model provides a steady revenue stream for consulting firms without the need for any development investment or any upfront technical costs.
Ryan Mitchell, Director of Quality, Health, Safety and Environment at Farnec Group, commented:
“We are not only building a platform to compete with HSE consultants, but building the technical infrastructure that makes them more competitive, more scalable, and more profitable SafeNexus.ai.
Hi-Tech AI is currently accepting applications for the Co-Founder Program, which offers eligible HSE consultancy firms in the GCC preferential business terms, a co-branded marketing package, priority joining within five business days, and dedicated account management.
