Software Development for Dubai & UAE Businesses

A CMMI Level 5 engineering team, 1½ hours from Dubai

Highkeen builds custom software, mobile apps, and AI-powered products for businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the UAE. We're an India-based team that delivers remotely. Gulf Standard Time is only 1½ hours behind India, so our working days almost completely overlap.

Why UAE businesses work with us

Certified process. We're CMMI Maturity Level 5, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 certified, the kind of delivery and security standards that UAE enterprise and government-linked buyers ask for.

Arabic-ready from day one. We build bilingual Arabic and English apps with proper right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography, and localised dates and numbers, not a translated afterthought.

Built for UAE data rules. We design for the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), and for the separate DIFC and ADGM data protection regimes where they apply.

Data hosted in the UAE. We're an AWS and Microsoft Azure partner, and we can deploy to in-country cloud regions (AWS Middle East UAE, Azure UAE North) when data needs to stay in the country.

What we build for UAE businesses

• AI agents and workflow automation
• Bilingual Arabic and English mobile apps
• Web applications and customer portals
• Integrations with UAE Pass and local payment gateways
• Legacy system modernisation
• Cloud migration and cost optimisation

How an engagement works

1. Discovery call — a video call at a time that suits you, to understand the problem, constraints, and goals.
2. Proposal — scope, team, timeline, and a fixed price or monthly team cost.
3. Build — fortnightly sprints with demos during UAE business hours, and full access to the code and board throughout.
4. Launch and support — deployment, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance.
