Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: Qadi, the Middle East’s first sovereign regulatory compliance platform, has officially launched from stealth and announced a pre-seed funding round.
As per a recent press release, this round is led by Incubayt. designed specifically for MENAT’s legal systems, Qadi encodes regulatory rules into agent-based workflows that plug directly into business operations. The platform can handle first-pass contract reviews, route approvals, alert commercial teams when deals are ready, and scan media assets against regional advertising and financial promotion rules.
Founder Mohamad El Charif said Qadi is “building the engine for compliance automation,” aiming to bridge traditional legal advisory with next-generation AI. The new funding will expand the company’s AI and Legal Engineering teams and support early deployments with select GCC law firms and financial institutions.
Sami Khoreibi, Incubayt’s founder, highlighted rising demand for sovereign regulatory AI, noting that Qadi’s approach—encoding local rules into deployable agents within each institution—matches what advanced regional clients need. Qadi aims to become the regulatory operating layer for the Middle East as the region modernizes its legal frameworks and attracts global investment.
