ZIYAN Technology has established a long-term strategic partnership with UAE-based AxisNova Technology to oversee the regional deployment and support of its Blowfish series.

The agreement, announced at the UMEX 2026 Unmanned Systems Exhibition in Abu Dhabi, appoints AxisNova Technology as the strategic partner for ZIYAN’s Blowfish series operations in the Middle East. This 10-year commitment tasks the UAE firm with full responsibility for technical support, after-sales services, and regional operational management, reflecting a shared goal of sustainable development within the territory.

This move signals a pivot in ZIYAN’s regional strategy, transitioning from a standard sales-oriented model toward deep, localized involvement. By integrating with a local partner, the company intends to ensure its platforms are continuously supported and adapted to meet the demands of real-world mission environments in the Middle East.

Localization serves as a cornerstone for ZIYAN’s broader international expansion. The company maintains that long-term engagement with local markets and specific operational scenarios is essential for the validation and refinement of its technology. Under this framework, the Middle East acts as a primary strategic hub, providing a foundation for growth into further global markets.

The collaboration aims to ensure the stable, long-term operation of the Blowfish series throughout the region. By fostering this localized approach, ZIYAN and AxisNova Technology seek to create a growth path that is firmly rooted in the Middle East while remaining connected to a global technological roadmap.
