Redsand and Botteq Automation Partner to Launch Sovereign Agentic AI Infrastructure Across the Middle East
Dubai & London - 15 September 2025
Redsand, a leader in edge-native AI infrastructure, and Botteq Automation, an automation and agentic AI innovator, announced a strategic partnership to deliver sovereign, real-time AI infrastructure across the Middle East.
The partnership marks a major step toward enabling agentic AI systems, intelligent agents capable of autonomous decisions and real-time execution by combining Botteq Automation’s domain expertise in AI-driven automation with Redsand’s sovereign compute infrastructure built for ultra-low latency and data residency.
Agentic AI, Built on Edge Infrastructure
“Agentic AI systems are no longer theoretical. They are being deployed in the enterprise today,” said Odeh Mahmoud, CEO of Botteq Automation. “But to work at scale in sectors like government, energy, and finance, these systems must be fast, trusted, and sovereign. That is why this partnership with Redsand is essential to the Middle East’s AI future.”
Botteq Automation will integrate Redsand’s modular RedBox compute infrastructure into deployments across region, enabling secure and sovereign AI use cases in:
- Smart government services
- Financial services and compliance agents
- Energy and logistics optimization
- Secure citizen interaction platforms
Sovereignty, Speed, and Smarter Cost Models
Redsand’s architecture is designed specifically for inference - the phase of AI where models generate answers and actions in real time.Unlike hyper scale cloud models, Redsand’s infrastructure runs close to the data, ensuring sub-50ms latency, no cross-border data exposure, and predictable economics.
“Inference is where AI meets the real world, it's where latency, sovereignty, and cost all collide,” said Nicole Anderson, CEO of Redsand. “With the Middle East’s rapid digital transformation and AI ambitions, there is no better place to build sovereign infrastructure that scales on local terms.”
Sandeep Dama, COO of Redsand, added: “Legacy cloud is not designed for persistent, real-time AI workloads. OurAI-Infrastructure-as-a-Service model gives clients across the Middle East a flat-rate, dedicated infrastructure with no GPU waitlists, no data egress costs, and no vendor lock-in. Most importantly, it is delivered on-premise for customers. That is a real game changer for both cost and control.”
Next Steps: Pilots, Edge Mesh Rollouts, and Local Capacity Building
The two companies are launching joint pilot programs in Q4 2025 focused on edge-based deployments for public sector agencies and enterprise clients across the region. They also plan to co-develop:
- Sovereign agentic AI programs
- AI mesh infrastructure
- Regional partner ecosystems and capacity-building programs
"The Middle East has ambition and does not need to wait for global infrastructure to catch up,” said Mahmoud. “With Redsand, we are building it right here - faster, safer, and closer to the people and systems that matter.
