Skipr, a platform for autonomous AI systems, has closed a US$2 million seed funding round at a US$10 million valuation.

The funding will support the company’s expansion from Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s tech ecosystem, as it develops sovereign AI infrastructure for national and enterprise deployments.

As AI systems increasingly operate autonomously across organisations, clouds, and borders, challenges have arisen around safe coordination and communication.

Skipr provides a framework for AI systems to interact and exchange value while allowing governments and enterprises to maintain control over their data and decisions.

The company is working with telecommunications operators, AI and cybersecurity laboratories, and data centre partners to deploy autonomous AI services at national and enterprise scale.

Early deployments position Skipr as a provider of infrastructure for cross-jurisdiction AI operations.

Skipr’s platform uses cryptographic identity, policy-driven routing, and auditable interoperability to enable secure sharing of data, decisions, and transactions, in line with regulatory and national requirements.

“This funding accelerates our work on what we believe is a foundational layer for the AI era,”

said Andreas Hartl, CEO at Skipr Technologies.

“As AI systems become autonomous and interconnected, secure AI-to-AI interoperability under sovereign control is no longer optional. We are building the trust infrastructure nations and enterprises need to deploy AI safely, confidently, and at scale.”

Operating within the Hub71+ Digital Assets ecosystem, Skipr is part of Abu Dhabi’s network of technology innovators, regulators, and partners focused on digital infrastructure.
