Origen Appointed by DMT to Architect “NABD”

ABU DHABI, UAE — May 12, 2026 — At the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) taking place from 12 to 14 May, Origen Technology and the Department of Municipalities and Transport announced a strategic partnership to architect and deliver Nabd, an AI-powered digital governance framework designed to unify municipal data and improve cross-department coordination across Abu Dhabi.

Officially unveiled to the public for the first time during ADIS, Nabd enables fragmented municipal systems to operate through a connected intelligence environment, supporting faster decision-making, clearer governance, and more coordinated planning across the emirate.

Built on a federated architecture, the platform connects existing systems without replacement through an AI-enabled orchestration layer that synchronises key datasets while preserving operational autonomy across departments.

At the centre of the framework is a high-fidelity 3D digital twin, enabling teams to model scenarios, assess infrastructure capacity, and evaluate cross-domain impacts before decisions are made — helping shift governance from reactive management to proactive planning.

As the system architect, Origen is designing the intelligence layer that enables interoperability between legacy systems and future digital services, ensuring the platform can evolve as new capabilities and data streams are introduced.

The rollout of Nabd will proceed in phases, beginning with priority municipal functions and expanding progressively across additional government entities.
