QuikBot to roll out delivery robots in Dubai Silicon Oasis
Singapore robotics startup to launch last-mile pilot at Dubai Silicon Oasis
#UAE #SmartCities – Singapore startup QuikBot Technologies has partnered with the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZA) to pilot its autonomous last-mile delivery Platform-as-a-Service at Dubai Silicon Oasis. Announced at GITEX Asia 2025, the initiative marks QuikBot’s Middle East debut and introduces autonomous, AI-powered delivery robots to Dubai’s urban infrastructure. Beginning with eight buildings in Dubai Digital Park, the robot delivery pilot aims to cut delivery costs, reduce emissions, and create a scalable model for smart last-mile logistics.
SO WHAT? – The new pilot project not only signals that there is potential for Singaporean technology companies in the Middle East region, but is proof-positive for the newly launched GITEX Asia, which is organised by a Dubai World Trade Centre. Dubai has long drawn on Singapore’s advances in smart city management, but Singaporean Smart Nation companies seem not to have capitalised on the GCC’s smart city market. Via the Dubai Silicon Oasis, QuikBot will get the chance to demonstrate how its technology stacks up against Chinese, European and US robotic technology already in the local market.
Here are some key points about this announcement:
QuikBot Technologies will launch its first Middle East pilot with DIEZA to test autonomous delivery at Dubai Silicon Oasis, a technology and innovation free zone under DIEZA with 30,000 companies. The deal was announced during GITEX Asia 2025 in Singapore.
The pilot phase will cover eight mixed-use buildings at Dubai Digital Park, involving business, hospitality, and retail sites. The Singaporean company will also open its Middle East and North Africa headquarters in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
QuikBot robots are built to operate seamlessly indoors and outdoors, using AI to access elevators, navigate lobbies, and interact with pedestrian zones.
Future pilot phases will expand to residential towers, a private hospital, a university, and DIEZA’s headquarters.
The system replaces high-emission delivery vehicles with electric, AI-powered robots that offer real-time optimisation and scalable integration.
QuikBot’s tech combines robotics, AI, IoT, 5G, and cloud computing to deliver last-mile services with minimal carbon footprint.
The project supports the goals of Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda and 2040 Urban Master Plan, aimed at building a future-ready urban ecosystem.
DIEZA sees this pilot as a testbed for enterprise-grade logistics, with potential expansion across other Dubai districts.
The initiative builds on QuikBot’s proven deployments in Singapore, including with South Beach Development and Mapletree Business City.
