Circus SE (WKN: A2YN35 / ISIN: DE000A2YN355 / XETRA: CA1), a German technology company specializing in AI software and robotics for autonomous sustainment systems, has obtained full regulatory certification to operate and import its autonomous robotic systems into the United Arab Emirates. The certification, issued under the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme (ECAS) by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, positions Circus as the currently only certified provider of fully autonomous AI robotic sustainment systems in the region.
The ECAS certification, verified by TUV SUD and compliant with UAE RoHS standards, allows Circus to deploy and commercially scale its CA-1 Series 4 AI-robotic food production systems across the UAE. The first systems are scheduled to go live in Abu Dhabi this September, with Dubai to follow shortly after. This entry into the UAE market represents a substantial commercial growth opportunity for the company, which already operates across multiple European countries.
Circus is uniquely positioned to integrate its systems directly into high-rise residential and office developments, offering a fully autonomous, on-site integrated food supply solution at scale. The company is already working with contracted distribution partners in the region to build a dominant local presence and sales pipeline, marking the UAE and the entire Gulf region as one of its most significant growth areas outside Europe over the medium term.
"The UAE market entry marks our first certified presence outside the European continent, where we are already operating across multiple countries. The Gulf is one of the most dynamic and capital-rich markets in the world – with a density of high-rise residential towers, corporate campuses, and large-scale infrastructure that is almost purpose-built for what we have developed. We offer the first fully certified autonomous sustainment system in the region, and we intend to build on that lead aggressively," said Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO and Founder of Circus.
Circus SE is a German dual-use technology company developing proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defence applications. With a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production live, Circus is building the infrastructure for autonomous food supply.

This certification and planned rollout underscore the growing acceptance of autonomous systems in the Gulf region, which is rapidly adopting AI and robotics to enhance efficiency and self-sufficiency in food production and other critical sectors.
