Accelerating Market Entry in the Middle East with Federal Innovation Support

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, July 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- i-ESG, a company specializing in AI-powered ESG data solutions, announced on June 25 that it has been selected to join the MBRIF Innovation Accelerator, a UAE federal program designed to support high-potential innovators from around the world.

Launched in 2018, the MBRIF Innovation Accelerator is a flagship initiative under the Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund (MBRIF), established by the UAE Ministry of Finance to foster innovation across key sectors. The program empowers innovators to unlock their full potential and scale their businesses in alignment with the UAE’s National Innovation Strategy.

i-ESG was selected through a rigorous evaluation process conducted by MBRIF’s Independent Innovation Committee, comprising sector specialists and innovation leaders.

The company was particularly recognized for its innovative approach to addressing the confusion faced by companies due to the lack of unified global ESG standards. By aggregating and analyzing data from various international ESG frameworks, rating standards, and corporate disclosures, i-ESG transforms this intelligence into proprietary AI-powered digital solutions designed for ESG applications.

This selection underscores the UAE government’s recognition of i-ESG’s technological innovation and its potential to scale globally. As demand for ESG transparency and compliance continues to grow across the Middle East, i-ESG’s solutions are expected to play a key role in supporting organizations through the ESG transition.
