17 April, 2019: Verusen has joined the Dubai Future Accelerators (DFA) programme in Dubai, UAE. The company is one of seven startups who has been selected out of 245 global applications and is working with Emirates Airlines to help solve its inventory management challenge.
Verusen's cloud platform makes use of artificial intelligence to harmonise and offer visibility into materials inventory data from ERP and other systems. The technology will assist in laying the data foundation for materials inventory management and procurement across Emirates Airlines' complex global supply chain.
On 2nd March, Verusen and six other companies began the nine-week DFA programme in Dubai and will address three primary challenge categories with Emirates, one of the government's global companies.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said, "Preparing for our future is a necessity, not a luxury. Unprepared governments will suffer from missed opportunities and lost wealth."
"We facilitate partnerships between the startups and the government entities to co-create solutions of tomorrow. Verusen has been selected among more than 245 applications, which shows the expertise and innovation the company can offer Emirates Airlines," said Saeed Al Falasi, Executive Director of the Future Platform, Dubai Future Foundation.
"We're both honoured and excited to join Dubai Future Accelerators and work with Emirates Airlines, a renowned global airline, to help build the data foundation for the supply chain of the future," said Paul Noble, CEO of Verusen. "Working so closely in an accelerated programme with DFA and other innovative companies such as Emirates is a unique opportunity to build a special partnership."
