What Eanan does

EANAN (legal entity EANAN Al Samma) is a Dubai-based advanced air mobility manufacturer founded in 2023 that designs, produces, and sells unmanned aerial vehicles for enterprise and government customers in the UAE and broader Middle East. The company was the first to manufacture advanced unmanned aircraft in the UAE and operates development, testing, and manufacturing at its Dubai Investment Park 2 facility.

Its product portfolio comprises heavy cargo UAVs (Sa'faar with a 200 kg payload and Rikaz with a 50-200 kg payload) for industrial logistics and remote-area transport, an agricultural spraying UAV (Gaith, 40-liter tank, 18 ha/h coverage), and the Nawah Digital Ecosystem — a unified platform integrating fleet management, AI/ML-driven analytics, predictive maintenance, autonomous flight decision-making, and cybersecurity. EANAN extends its stack through technology integrations with Embention (autopilot), Emrod (wireless power transfer, claimed 40% battery savings at take-off), and Jetoptera (bladeless Fluidic Propulsive System for the planned J-500 VTOL series), and holds three global aerospace certifications.

Commercially, EANAN sells quote-based, bespoke UAV configurations through direct enterprise and government field sales, supplemented by Nawah as a recurring platform layer. It co-develops airspace and regulatory frameworks with the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Dubai Air Navigation Services, and the Dubai Future Foundation. Customers are concentrated in industrial logistics, agriculture, and government/public safety across the UAE/Middle East, with active efforts to expand visibility internationally via UMEX, Dubai Airshow, and GITEX Europe.
