Partnership signed at LEAP 2026 will develop and commercialize industrial-grade AI agents targeting capital productivity, supply chain performance and operational execution

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OrbitronAI and Aramco Digital have formed a strategic commercial partnership to develop, deploy and commercialize industrial-grade agentic AI solutions focused on industrial value recovery across asset-intensive industries. The agreement was signed in early September at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh.

The partnership combines OrbitronAI’s industrial-grade agentic AI technology and domain-led delivery model with Aramco Digital’s industrial knowledge, operating scale and market reach. The companies will target multibillion-dollar value pools in areas including capital productivity, supply chain performance and operational execution, where fragmented information, complex workflows and delayed decisions can materially affect financial performance.

In capital-intensive environments, delays in reviews, reconciliation and decision-making can affect schedule, cost and returns on invested capital. In supply chains, limited visibility across materials, suppliers and logistics can increase cost, tie up working capital and disrupt operations. OrbitronAI’s technology is built for these environments. It works across structured and unstructured industrial information, connects with enterprise systems and combines agentic reasoning with deterministic execution, while critical calculations, controls and approvals remain governed and subject to human oversight.

“Together with Aramco Digital, we are building a repeatable model for industrial value recovery: take a high-value industrial process, embed industrial-grade agents into the workflow, recover the value and turn what works into a product that can scale across the industry.”

— Saulius Adomaitis, Co-Founder and CEO, OrbitronAI

“Aramco Digital is focused on areas where our industrial knowledge, scale and data create a clear advantage. Capital projects, supply chain and other asset-intensive processes represent major opportunities to improve execution and create economic value. Through our partnership with OrbitronAI, we intend to convert that industrial advantage into scalable AI products for Aramco, our affiliates and the wider industrial market.”

— Ashraf Tahini, CEO, Aramco Digital

Successful capabilities developed through the partnership will be designed for reuse across similar industrial processes, creating a path to commercialization across Saudi Arabia and selected international markets.

OrbitronAI’s founding team combines industrial operating and technology experience. Luvy Singh, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer, previously led supply chain at Shell and was a partner at EY. Ashu Gupta, Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer, was a founding CTO at a leading fintech company, while Poonam Gupta, Co-Founder and CTO, leads the engineering of OrbitronAI’s industrial-grade agentic AI platform.
