Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a German technology company specializing in AI software and robotics for autonomous sustainment systems, has received full regulatory certification from the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology to operate and import its autonomous robotic systems into the United Arab Emirates. The certification, issued under the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) and verified by TUV SUD, complies with UAE RoHS standards, allowing Circus to deploy and commercially scale its CA-1 Series 4 AI-robotic food production systems across the country.
The first systems are scheduled to go live in Abu Dhabi this September, with Dubai to follow shortly after. This certification makes Circus the currently only certified provider of fully autonomous AI robotic sustainment systems in the region, marking a significant milestone as the company expands beyond Europe. The UAE market represents a substantial commercial growth opportunity, particularly for integrating autonomous food supply solutions into high-rise residential and office developments.
'The UAE market entry marks our first certified presence outside the European continent, where we are already operating across multiple countries,' said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus. 'The Gulf is one of the most dynamic and capital-rich markets in the world – with a density of high-rise residential towers, corporate campuses, and large-scale infrastructure that is almost purpose-built for what we have developed. We offer the first fully certified autonomous sustainment system in the region, and we intend to build on that lead aggressively.'
Circus is already working with contracted distribution partners in the region to establish a dominant local presence and sales pipeline, positioning the UAE and the entire Gulf region as one of its most significant growth areas outside Europe over the medium term. The company's CA-1 Series 4 systems are designed for autonomous meal production, offering a fully integrated on-site food supply solution at scale.
This regulatory approval underscores the growing acceptance of autonomous systems in the Gulf region, where rapid urbanization and a focus on technological innovation create a favorable environment for such deployments. Circus SE, listed on XETRA, develops proprietary AI models and autonomous robotic sustainment systems for both civilian and defense applications, with a mission to build infrastructure for autonomous food supply.
