Tarjama, founded in 2009 by Nour Al Hassan and headquartered in Dubai, has evolved from MENA's leading enterprise language and content provider into an Arabic-first language-AI company. It now operates Arabic.AI, a proprietary agentic AI ecosystem built for enterprise use in Arabic-speaking markets, powered by Pronoia, a purpose-built Arabic-first large language model (launched as Pronoia V2). Tarjama delivers translation and localization across 100+ languages and 22 Arabic dialects, plus digital, technology (TMS and workflow automation) and communication solutions, and products including CleverSo, T-Portal and AMT. The company cites 16+ years of operation, 2B+ words delivered, ISO certification and seven global offices, serving clients such as Noon, OSN, the G20 Riyadh summit and Expo Doha. In 2025 Tarjama closed a $15M Series A led by Global Ventures, with participation from Wamda Capital, TA Ventures, Phaze Capital, Golden Gate Ventures and Endeavor Catalyst, to scale Arabic.AI for enterprise use across MENA.
