IFS will showcase how Industrial AI can move beyond experimentation to deliver measurable outcomes across asset-intensive industries. The company will do so at AI Everything Abu Dhabi, taking place at ADNEC Centre on 6-7 October 2026.

The timing is relevant. The Middle East is increasing its investment in critical infrastructure, energy, transport, utilities, aviation, defence, manufacturing and data centres. As a result, the opportunity is building for organizations that implement AI not only to provide insights, but also to make quick decisions and improve asset performance.

IFS will present working demonstrations of its Industrial AI capabilities. First, the IFS Loops Digital Workers platform will show how AI can execute tasks across business systems. Next, IFS Nexus Black Resolve will highlight how faults can be captured with images and voice. AI can then provide a diagnosis and guided repair steps. Finally, IFS Operational Intelligence will demonstrate how degrading equipment can be spotted, with a resulting work request raised.

Rahul Misra, SVP & MD, IFS MEA, commented on the regional momentum. “We are witnessing a phenomenal growth of large-scale infrastructure investments in the Middle East,” he said. “These asset heavy projects are being viewed for long term economic growth. They are focused on asset performance, high level of resilience and more importantly to be intelligent systems.”

He added that IFS sees a role in this phase. “We see great opportunity to contribute to this phase with our IFS Industrial AI that is developed to go beyond identifying what is happening and help them make informed decisions and execute actions with our industry specific solutions.”

In addition, IFS will highlight how organisations can approach the transition towards agentic AI responsibly. There is a shift from pilots to use cases where digital workers can execute defined processes. However, as organisations scale these deployments, governance, security, accountability and auditability will become as important as AI capability itself.

Furthermore, Suliman Gaouda, Regional VP – AI, APJMEA from IFS, will present a session on October 7. It is titled ‘70% of the workforce doesn’t sit at a desk’. The talk will highlight why the physical economy is the unclaimed category in AI.

Overall, the participation reinforces the company’s focus on helping Middle Eastern organisations translate AI investment into practical operational outcomes. It also connects intelligence with the people, assets and processes that keep critical industries running.

IFS executives will be present at H2-D10. They look forward to meeting organizations across energy and resources, ports and logistics, rail and transport, utilities and power generation including nuclear, data centre operators, aviation MRO, and defence sustainment. Those attending can learn more about Industrial AI in practice at the event.
