UAE-Based Nextgen Named OpenAI Select Partner

Dubai-headquartered AI transformation firm Nextgen has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network, expanding its capacity to help governments and enterprises integrate artificial intelligence into their operations.

The designation gives Nextgen access to resources and technical support through OpenAI's global partner network, which brings together companies specialising in enterprise technology integration and AI deployment. Nextgen will use the partnership to support organisations in building and scaling AI systems using OpenAI's GPT models and products, including ChatGPT Work.

Founded in the UK in 2012 and now headquartered in Dubai, Nextgen combines business strategy, organisational transformation and AI engineering. Its engineers work directly within client organisations to develop, deploy and maintain AI systems, while training internal teams to manage and expand those capabilities independently.

The company currently employs more than 135 specialists across five offices, serves more than 50 enterprise clients and reports having delivered over 200 AI use cases. Its work spans financial services, fintech, real estate, hospitality, education, media, healthcare and other sectors.

Nextgen describes its approach as technology-agnostic, selecting AI models and platforms according to each client's requirements rather than relying exclusively on one provider. Its OpenAI Select Partner status expands the technologies and support available for these deployments, with a particular focus on integrating AI into existing enterprise infrastructure and business processes.
