Micropolis Holding Company (NYSE American: MCRP) (“Micropolis” or the “Company”), a leading UAE-based developer of autonomous mobile robots and AI-enabled systems, announced the signing of an engineering and manufacturing agreement with DP World, one of the world’s leading providers of smart logistics and trade solutions.

The agreement marks a significant step in Micropolis’ expansion within the critical infrastructure and industrial industry, enabling the Company to collaborate with one of the world’s most established logistics operators on the advancement of next-generation automation technologies.

Under this agreement, Micropolis will work alongside DP World to support the manufacturing and deployment of a container ascending system designed to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and performance across targeted operational use cases. The collaboration is aligned with DP World’s broader commitment to innovation and the adoption of advanced technologies to optimize global trade operations.

“Being selected by DP World to deliver a program of this technical rigor validates the engineering discipline we have built at Micropolis,” said Fareed Aljawhari, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Micropolis. “It also marks a significant step further into the maritime and port-automation segment, and reflects the confidence global operators are placing in UAE-built, vertically integrated robotics capabilities. We look forward to supporting DP World’s continued innovation at Jebel Ali and to building a durable, long-term partnership.”

This agreement represents for Micropolis another engineering and manufacturing services mandate with a global port and logistics operator, and extends the Company’s footprint beyond its public-safety and smart-city programs into maritime and industrial-logistics automation, one of the fastest-growing segments of the global automation market.

The collaboration builds on Micropolis’ core capabilities in robotics, AI-driven systems, and integrated automation platforms, further strengthening its position as a key technology partner in high-impact sectors.

While specific project details remain subject to ongoing development and confidentiality frameworks, the agreement establishes a foundation for future initiatives that will leverage Micropolis’ technology to support innovation across logistics and infrastructure ecosystems.
