EDGETI FORMS PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL CONGLOMERATE, NSMICO, TO RAPIDLY ESTABLISH EDGETI SOLUTIONS AS A MAJOR DEFENSE/TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM INSIDE SAUDI ARABIA AND MIDDLE EASTERN REGION

Edge Total Intelligence Inc. and Najad Shield Military Industries Holding Co. (NSMICO), the leading company in the field of supply and manufacturing of military and security products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have formed a formal partnership to evaluate, demonstrate and pursue the potential deployment of real-time operational intelligence, digital twin and decision support technologies in support of defence, government and critical infrastructure initiatives across the Middle East and Africa.

Subject to applicable laws and future agreements, the companies are responding to increasing interest in the Middle East's adoption of Industry 4.0, driven by government initiatives (like Saudi Vision 2030, UAE's Operation 300bn) and megaprojects (NEOM), focusing on AI (artificial intelligence), IoT (Internet of Things) and robotics for economic diversification away from oil. According to IMARC Group, key consumption areas include smart manufacturing, automation, energy efficiency (IoT sensors) and digital transformation in oil and gas, with strong growth projected in sectors like aerospace and advanced manufacturing, supported by significant state-led investment.

Abdulmalik Tariq Al-Qahtani, chairman of the board of Najad Shield Military Industries Holding, stated: "We are the leading company in the field of supply and manufacturing of military and security products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We contribute to achieving economic and social development by providing innovative and effective solutions that meet the needs of our customers while adhering to global quality standards and keeping pace with the latest developments in line with the kingdom's Vision 2030."

Jim Barrett, chief executive officer and chair of Edge Total Intelligence, stated: "As a United States-based enterprise software company specializing in real-time operational intelligence and digital twin of the organization platforms for government, defence and critical infrastructure operations, we dare not ignore the global demand centred around the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and surrounding Middle East and Northern Africa region. Reaching this agreement, NSMICO gives us the opportunity to accelerate our global endeavours with a true leader in the region."

Edge Total Intelligence is demonstrating at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, to Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Center with NSMICO at the military industries stands (H3-C7.3 and H3-C7.5).
