ADX And Saal.ai Collaborate To Design An AI-Enabled Market Data Platform

The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange Group is working with Saal.ai to design a next-generation market data dissemination platform that supports the changing needs of ADX. The joint project aims to upgrade how market data is delivered and controlled, while reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a key hub for investment and capital markets growth.

The new AI-enabled market data platform will create a single framework for distributing market information to brokers, vendors, and investors. It is planned to handle real-time feeds and scheduled data, through several delivery channels. ADX expects the system to strengthen oversight, improve governance, and extend flexibility across its expanding data services.

Vikram Poduval, Chief Executive Officer of Saal.ai, said, "This collaboration with ADX reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the UAE’s financial market infrastructure through trusted, sovereign, and future-ready data capabilities. By supporting the evolution of ADX’s market data platform, we are contributing to a resilient national ecosystem that enhances transparency, enables innovation, and reinforces the UAE’s position as a leading global financial hub."

Building on ADX’s current data tools and digital infrastructure, the market data platform will be designed to support advanced analytics use cases. It is expected to give ADX better control over data access and usage, while supporting scalable growth. The approach also supports more structured communication of market information to local and international users.

The collaboration is part of ADX’s wider focus on AI-enabled solutions that help stakeholders, widen market participation, and back financial literacy. It also matches Saal.ai’s strategy to offer trusted, enterprise-grade data and AI products for key national and financial market infrastructures. The announcement was made at UMEX at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi, linking the initiative to a regional innovation forum.

Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of the ADX Group, commented, "ADX has consistently invested in AI-powered tools and advanced analytics to enhance market understanding, accessibility, and participation. We are glad to partners with Saal.ai to advance the utlisation and distribution of vital market data to the right stakeholders and investors. This is part of ADX’s ongoing commitment in improving our market infrastructure and providing greater accessibility to relevant market information to support decision making for the local and global investing communities."

Together, ADX and Saal.ai are setting up a market data platform that supports transparency, resilience, and informed decision-making. The initiative links technology development with national financial goals, supports investor access to reliable information, and aims to keep Abu Dhabi’s capital markets aligned with global standards in data quality and infrastructure.
