Nextgen, a UAE-headquartered AI transformation firm that combines strategy, transformation, and AI engineering, recently announced it has been named an OpenAI Select Partner in the OpenAI Partner Network.
The designation reinforces Nextgen’s ability to help governments and enterprises turn frontier AI into measurable business results.
The OpenAI Partner Network brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities and customer relationships, while providing resources, enablement and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.
As an OpenAI Select Partner, Nextgen will continue helping organisations build, deploy and scale AI solutions responsibly and effectively. This includes helping organisations get more useful work from every token and stronger performance per dollar with the GPT models, while using ChatGPT Work to turn ambitious goals into finished work.
Nextgen embeds these advanced capabilities into a comprehensive model spanning strategy, organisational change and AI engineering. Its forward-deployed engineers work inside client organisations, on their systems and infrastructure, taking projects from identifying where AI can create measurable value through to building, deploying and running the technology in production. Internal teams are then equipped to operate and extend the capability themselves.
“This is a defining moment for Nextgen and for the region’s AI ecosystem”, the company said in a statement. “Bringing OpenAI’s frontier models together with our strategy and implementation expertise, we help governments and enterprises embed AI into how they operate and turn their investment into real returns, from higher productivity to sustainable growth. In the UAE, this partnership supports the country’s AI ambitions by enabling secure, scalable, and sovereign AI solutions aligned with national priorities”.
Nextgen works with governments and enterprises across sectors including financial services, fintech and payments, technology, real estate and family conglomerates, hospitality, education, media, and healthcare. The company has more than 135 specialists across five offices, works with more than 50 enterprise clients, and has delivered more than 200 AI use cases.
Its approach is technology-agnostic: Nextgen selects and orchestrates models and platforms around the requirements of each organisation rather than building transformation around a single technology. Being an OpenAI Select Partner expands the capabilities available within that ecosystem and supports Nextgen’s focus on helping organisations deploy enterprise AI securely, rapidly and at scale.
Looking ahead, Nextgen plans to expand its OpenAI-related capabilities across the UAE and the region, invest further in AI-native talent and enablement, and scale deployments that connect frontier models with business processes, enterprise systems and organisational transformation.
The company’s wider ambition is to help organisations in the region stay relevant through constant change by moving from isolated AI pilots to working systems that deliver measurable business performance. This is further supported by Nextgen’s recent relocation of its global headquarters to the UAE, reinforcing its long-term commitment to partnering with governments and enterprises across the region.
