RIYADH, 3 days ago
Ansarada, a global leader in virtual data room (VDR) technology, has expanded into the Middle East, delivering AI-powered dealmaking tools.
Ansarada’s footprint in the region is well established working with leading companies, advisors, government agencies and sovereign funds, including a prominent Energy company. With local data storage since 2018, Ansarada is uniquely positioned to deliver faster, tailored support to dealmakers navigating complex, high-stakes transactions.
“The Middle East is entering one of the most ambitious economic transformations in history and dealmakers need technology that can match that scale,” said Justin Smith, Managing Director at Ansarada. “By expanding our footprint here, we’re not only offering faster, more localised support, we’re giving companies and advisors the tools to move with certainty, unlock international capital and help facilitate the success of initiatives like Saudi Vision 2030. Our role is to provide the infrastructure for confident decision-making in a market that’s rewriting the future of investment.”
Arie Maree, Head of Growth, Middle East & Africa, added: “Our AI-powered platform simplifies due diligence and helps advisors and companies make smarter, faster calls on complex deals. We’re proud to be part of the region’s journey to becoming a global hub for innovation and cross-border transactions.”
Ansarada’s VDRs do more than store data securely, they provide predictive insights that help dealmakers spot risks and opportunities early. The platform demonstrates 97% predictive accuracy and monitors 24/7 behavioural patterns, giving clients a competitive edge.
“Ansarada has localised document storage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, giving customers flexibility and peace of mind, without compromising on security. It means you have complete confidence you’re complying with regional legislation, with the power of our global team behind you,” said Justin.
As the only top tier VDR provider offering data at rest in the Middle East since 2018, Ansarada combines world-class security with regional infrastructure, tailored features, and pricing designed for Middle Eastern clients.
Ansarada’s Q2 2025 market analysis shows that Saudi Arabia recorded 7 deals totalling US$277 million in transaction value throughout the quarter. Deal activity was especially strong in sectors such as energy and natural resources, financial services and technology. This reflects the broader ambitions of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which is driving record levels of cross-border investment and deal activity.
As Vision 2030 fuels foreign investment, Ansarada’s AI-powered VDR platform arrives at a pivotal moment. It aims to help dealmakers to navigate complex regulations, simplify cross-border transactions, and confidently secure the transformative deals shaping the region’s future, the company said. - TradeArabia News Service
