The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group has partnered with AI technology firm Saal.ai to design and build a “next-generation” market data dissemination platform.
Announced at UMEX in Abu Dhabi, the collaboration aims to replace legacy infrastructure with a unified, scalable system capable of meeting the exchange’s evolving data needs.
Real-time data for a digital market
The new platform is designed to provide a centralized framework for distributing market data. According to the exchange, it will support both real-time and periodic data delivery to key stakeholders, including brokers, vendors, and investors, across multiple channels.
Building on ADX’s existing digital infrastructure, the AI-enabled solution intends to enhance flexibility and governance while enabling advanced analytics use cases.
Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, group CEO of the ADX Group, highlighted the strategic importance of the move: “ADX has consistently invested in AI-powered tools and advanced analytics to enhance market understanding, accessibility, and participation. We are glad to partner with Saal.ai to advance the utilisation and distribution of vital market data to the right stakeholders and investors.”
For Saal.ai, the project aligns with its mission to support critical national financial infrastructures with enterprise-grade data solutions.
Vikram Poduval, chief executive officer of Saal.ai, commented: “This collaboration with ADX reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the UAE’s financial market infrastructure through trusted, sovereign, and future-ready data capabilities… We are contributing to a resilient national ecosystem that enhances transparency, enables innovation, and reinforces the UAE’s position as a leading global financial hub.”
The initiative is part of ADX’s broader strategy to modernize its market infrastructure and improve decision-making support for local and global investing communities.
