Hub71 Startup Skipr Raises $2 Million to Build ‘Autonomous Trust Fabric’ for AI
Skipr, a startup based in Abu Dhabi, has raised $2 million in seed funding to develop what it calls an “autonomous trust fabric” designed for the growing AI-driven digital ecosystem. The funding round values the company at $10 million and will support its expansion from Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global technology ecosystem, as it continues to build sovereign AI infrastructure for government and enterprise use.
Securing AI-to-AI Communication
As artificial intelligence systems increasingly operate independently across organizations, cloud environments, and national borders, ensuring secure communication between these systems has become a major challenge. Skipr aims to solve this problem by creating a secure infrastructure that allows AI systems to communicate, coordinate tasks, and exchange data safely.
The platform is designed to ensure that governments and enterprises maintain full control over their data and decision-making processes, an important requirement for organizations operating under strict regulatory and national data sovereignty laws.
Skipr’s platform is built around three core technologies: cryptographic identity, policy-based routing, and auditable interoperability. Together, these technologies ensure that data sharing, decision-making, and digital transactions between AI systems remain secure, transparent, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
Early Deployments and Strategic Growth
The company has already begun working with telecommunications providers, AI and cybersecurity research labs, and data center partners. Through these partnerships, Skipr is deploying autonomous and sovereign AI digital services for both national-level and enterprise-scale operations.
These early deployments position Skipr as an important infrastructure provider for organizations preparing for AI-driven, cross-border digital environments where autonomous systems will need to interact securely and reliably.
Building Trust Infrastructure for the AI Era
Andreas Hartl, CEO of Skipr Technologies, said the funding will help accelerate the development of what the company believes will become a foundational layer of the AI economy. He emphasized that as AI systems become more autonomous and interconnected, secure AI-to-AI communication under sovereign control will become essential rather than optional.
Operating within the Hub71+ Digital Assets ecosystem, Skipr is part of Abu Dhabi’s growing network of technology companies, regulators, and strategic partners working to build globally relevant digital infrastructure for the AI era.
Industry Impact
The development of secure AI-to-AI communication infrastructure is expected to play a key role in the future of digital services, particularly in sectors such as finance, telecommunications, government services, and cybersecurity. As more organizations adopt autonomous AI systems, platforms like Skipr’s trust infrastructure could become essential for ensuring secure and compliant digital operations at scale.
