This underscores the country’s growing influence as a global hub for advanced technology, energy innovation and high-growth enterprises. This announcement, made during the WEF Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, places Esyasoft among a select group of UAE success stories to surpass a valuation of USD 1 billion.

Esyasoft is shaping the future of critical infrastructure and global energy transition. The company’s growth aligns closely with the country’s ambition to lead in innovation, sustainability and digital transformation.

We don’t just deliver projects; we build long-term partnerships. Our goal is to create lasting economic and financial value for our clients, and while we capture a share of that value as a return on our investments, the greatest impact is always in what we enable for our customers.”
Esyasoft is a global energy transition company delivering intelligent infrastructure solutions to utilities, governments and enterprises. It specialises in smart utility solutions, advanced software analytics and artificial intelligence, energy-as-a-service models, e-mobility solutions and grid-scale battery energy storage systems.

The company is driven by a long-term mission to positively impact one billion lives while simultaneously enabling the reduction of ten billion tonnes of carbon emissions globally.
Esyasoft’s growth has been driven by successful deployment of solutions at scale across diverse markets. Unicorn status recognition from the WEF reflects the company’s unique model and sustained performance, with its inclusion in the WEF Innovator Communities and membership of the WEF Centre for Energy and Materials.
Esyasoft’s unicorn announcement coincides with its active participation at the WEF Annual Meeting 2026, where the company is convening senior global leaders. This is to enable a closed, executive roundtable titled, “The Future of Power: Building a Smarter, Resilient and More Flexible Energy Infrastructure”.
This invitation only event hosted in Davos brings together vested interest parties. This includes policymakers, utility executives, investors and technology leaders to examine how power systems worldwide must evolve to meet rising demand, integrate renewables, and strengthen resilience. Led by Esyasoft’s CEO Bipin Chandra alongside global partners, the discussion positions the UAE-founded company at the centre of international dialogue on the future of energy infrastructure.
