Qadi, the Middle East’s first sovereign regulatory compliance platform, has emerged from stealth and announced its pre-seed funding round, led by Incubayt.
Qadi’s platform uses AI agents to interpret local laws, regulations, and policies, helping law firms and institutions manage compliance workflows more efficiently, move faster, and unlock growth opportunities.
Qadi is designed for the legal and regulatory systems of the MENAT region, combining local legal knowledge, regulatory expertise, and data protection in one platform. It breaks down local laws, regulations, and internal policies into AI agents that can take actions and add compliance checks directly into business workflows.
Qadi’s goal is to provide a reliable regulatory platform for legal and compliance teams. It keeps institutional data and policies confidential while using advanced AI agents to make processes faster and smarter.
In Qadi, AI agents turn scattered legal and compliance tasks into complete workflows. Some agents handle contracts, reviewing NDAs and MSAs, checking them against local laws and internal rules, sending them to the right approvers, and alerting sales and marketing teams when deals are ready.
Other AI agents focus on checking media and marketing content to make sure it follows regional financial promotion and advertising rules.
Mohamad El Charif, Founder at Qadi, said:“Qadi is doing something distinct. We aren’t just building a copilot; we’re building the engine for compliance automation. By bridging the gap between strategic legal advisory and AI, Qadi is positioning itself as the backbone of the next generation of legal services in the region.”
Sami Khoreibi, Investor and Founder of Incubayt, commented:“Around the world, regulatory AI is moving from experiments to core infrastructure but in this region, it has to be sovereign and deeply tuned to local rules. Qadi is taking the right approach of starting with local laws, regulations and policies, encoding them as agents, and deploying them inside the institution’s own environment. That combination of agentic automation, regulatory depth and data sovereignty is exactly what our most sophisticated clients are asking for.”
As the Middle East modernizes its legal and regulatory systems and attracts more global investment, Qadi aims to become the go-to regulatory platform for law firms and institutions in the region.
It integrates regulatory knowledge directly into everyday workflows, enabling fast, scalable, and intelligent decision-making.
