Micropolis AI Robotics (NYSE American: MCRP) has announced a comprehensive commercial agreement with AfricAI Limited that includes a $9.3 million, 18-month program to design and develop three customized unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms tailored for African operating environments, along with a three-year distribution agreement covering key markets. The new UGV models will target police and public safety, agricultural automation, and border control applications, with pilot testing planned across selected African sites prior to commercialization.
Under the distribution framework, AfricAI, through its subsidiary AfricaAI Technology FZ LLC, will hold exclusive rights across ECOWAS member states, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Tanzania.

This deal marks a significant expansion for Micropolis, a UAE-based company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of UGVs, AI systems, and smart infrastructure for urban, security, and industrial applications.
Micropolis’ vertically integrated capabilities cover everything from mechatronics and embedded systems to AI software and high-level autonomy. The partnership with AfricAI is expected to accelerate the deployment of advanced robotic solutions in regions where such technology can address critical challenges in security, agriculture, and border management. The agreement underscores the growing demand for autonomous systems in emerging markets and highlights Micropolis’ strategy to leverage local partnerships for market entry.
