What iRIG does

iRIG is a Dubai-headquartered rigging solutions provider serving the events and live entertainment industry across the GCC. The company delivers an integrated service offering spanning rigging project management, CAD-based design and load calculations, structural analysis, automated winch and hoist systems, IRATA-certified rope access, NRC-assessed crew deployment, and equipment rental and distribution. Its technical approach pairs digital engineering planning with on-site execution for high-altitude and complex suspended structures, including automated systems for moving stage elements and aerial installations. iRIG's customer base is concentrated in government ceremonies (UAE National Day, papal visit), large entertainment productions (ANB Arena, World Defense Show, Clash on the Dunes, concerts), and anchor venues and developers (Dubai Opera, ADNEC, Emaar, Cityscape Global, major malls).

The company operates a project-based professional services model with three revenue streams: full-lifecycle rigging project services, engineering and design consulting, and equipment rental and distribution. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed, with sales driven through an enterprise field motion and consultation-based process that begins at the concept briefing stage. iRIG is privately held, founder-led (CEO Ryan D'Cunha, COO Mathias Wilke), with no external funding rounds disclosed. Operational presence covers the UAE (Dubai Investments Park 1 headquarters and warehouse) and a regional office in Riyadh, positioning the company to pursue KSA-led event and entertainment spend.
