KSA’s Hazen.ai receives funding from Wa’ed Ventures

The company this year won a global award from the International Road Federation for its traffic management systems, which combine the latest in machine learning, AI, and computer vision technologies to spot and report negative driving behavior. Hazen.ai’s software systems help reduce fatalities by enabling law enforcement to spot dangerous drivers quicker.

Hazen.ai, a maker of intelligent traffic systems that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to improve road safety, has received a follow-on investment from Wa’ed, the entrepreneurship arm of Aramco. Hazen.ai was established in Mecca al Mukarramah in 2017 by Saudi-based entrepreneurs Sohaib Khan, Dr. Saleh Basalamah, Dr. Anas Basalamah, and Muhammad Amin. The company’s software is being used to improve the effectiveness of traffic systems in the UK, the United States, Oman, Egypt, Spain, and Peru. Hazen.ai is also bidding on projects in Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Egypt.

Sohaib Khan, Chief Executive and Co-Founder commented, “This second round of financing from Wa’ed will enable Hazen.ai to bring its life-saving technology to more regions around the world. As a Saudi startup, we are grateful for the continued support from Aramco’s entrepreneurship arm, which is helping bring Saudi solutions like Hazen.ai’s to a global audience.” Wassim Basrawi, Managing Director of Wa’ed added, “We are thrilled to support game-changing Saudi startups such as Hazen.ai, whose innovative technology can help save lives around the planet, which offers venture capital investment, loan financing, and incubation.
