Bringing EV Everywhere™ and Data Center Autopilot™ Made-in-Canada BluWave-ai Software Products to Gulf Markets, Partnering with Scale AI

OTTAWA, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / BluWave-ai is joining the Team Canada AI mission with Scale AI, Canada’s AI Cluster, at the World Government Summit (WGS) 2026 in Dubai, UAE from February 3 to 5, 2026.

BluWave-ai joining the Team Canada AI Mission follows the historic November 2025 mission by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to the United Arab Emirates, which established a new strategic partnership and secured $70 billion in UAE investment into Canada building on industry engagement between Canada and UAE. Examples of BluWave-ai engagements in the UAE include:

• Winning the Smart-Grid Category at World Energy Congress 2019 in Abu Dhabi, UAE

• AI deployment with Dubai Taxi to optimize fleet operations and electric vehicle (EV) charging

With the company’s global work in AI for Electricity Grids, the participation of BluWave-ai in the WGS Team Canada delegation underscores the company’s pivotal role in the deepening bilateral trade relationship, particularly at the cross-section of Artificial Intelligence and clean energy where the company has one of the world’s leading patent portfolios with 13 Granted patents and 40 pending to date.

BluWave-ai’s solutions unlock immediate and measurable value for energy consumers, fleet operators, and infrastructure owners by intelligently shifting demand, optimizing charging, and energy-intensive operations. This aligns consumption with lower-cost, lower-carbon periods where customers can reduce peak demand charges, lower energy costs, and defer costly grid upgrades. These capabilities create a compelling business case for utilities, system operators and enterprises alike: Turning flexibility into a monetizable asset while improving reliability and accelerating decarbonization across the UAE and the broader GCC region.

As part of the mission, BluWave-ai will be meeting with investors and partners to expand its commercial operations in the UAE as a springboard to expand its product deployments in the GCC region.

Expanding the UAE Footprint: From Mobility to Infrastructure

BluWave-ai is a familiar face in the UAE’s innovation ecosystem. The company has partnerships with the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC), a division of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). With BluWave-ai’s energy optimization platform, DTC has improved the charging and dispatch of its EV fleet, supporting Dubai’s mission to achieve a 100% low-carbon taxi fleet by 2027.

Building off this deployment with DTC’s fleet of Tesla 3, Tesla Y and Tesla X vehicles, BluWave-ai has expanded EV Everywhere™ for use with many other major OEM EV brands. Having successfully managed residential and commercial EV charging across Canadian utilities for over two years, and leveraging its partnership with Electricity Maps, it is now available with direct grid-aware charging for EV owners and fleet operators in the UAE.

EV Everywhere is compatible with major EV brands and is designed to integrate with the UAE’s unique cooling-heavy load profiles, ensuring that mass EV adoption does not overwhelm local distribution grids.

“Our selection for this delegation is a testament to the real-world impact we’ve already achieved in the UAE alongside customerslike Dubai Taxi,” said Devashish Paul, CEO of BluWave-ai. “With key patent supported products such as EV Everywhere and Data Center Autopilot, BluWave-ai’s strategy is to enable the electricity grids in the UAE as these become a larger part of the overall load in the bringing Canadian AI technology to meet the country’s pressing energy challenges.”

Introducing Data Center Autopilot™ for the UAE

To coincide with the World Government Summit, BluWave-ai is officially launching the Data Center Autopilot™ for the Middle Eastern market. As the UAE aggressively expands its data center capacity to support regional AI development, the strain on the local electricity grid is increasing.

The Data Center Autopilot is a SaaS solution that:

• Uses patent-pending technology to shift non-time-critical AI model training and batch processing to periods of lower grid stress.

• Can drop peak loads by up to 35%, allowing data centers to act as “grid partners” rather than just consumers.

• Integrates with local utility signals to ensure data centers operate when energy is cleanest and most cost-effective.

A Vision for Shared Prosperity

“The world is looking for solutions that balance the massive power demands of AI with global decarbonization goals,” said Thomas Triplet, VP of Technology at BluWave-ai. “In Dubai, we will demonstrate how our products, from EV management to data center optimization, directly support the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and Canada’s mission to export world-class innovation using our world leading patent portfolio.”

BluWave-ai will join government leaders and global innovators at the WGS to discuss “Shaping Future Governments.” The delegation is coordinated by Scale AI.

Modernize legacy BI without disruption. Refactor business logic into a governed semantic layer while keeping dashboards online.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / GoodData, the AI-powered analytics and decision intelligence platform, today introduced AI-driven BI modernization, a new approach that helps organizations move off legacy BI faster while preserving critical reporting workflows.

Early outcomes teams can expect

AI-driven BI modernization separates business logic from dashboards and standardizes it in a governed semantic layer. This improves performance today and creates a stronger baseline for AI-driven use cases tomorrow.

Expected results include:

• 2-5× faster iteration cycles for delivering new analytics

• Dashboards that load up to 10× faster by removing inefficient calculations and duplication

• Consistent, reusable metrics governed centrally and applied across teams and tools

• AI-ready analytics with clean, standardized logic that AI agents and automation can query reliably

Why BI modernization keeps getting stuck

For many enterprises, BI has become harder to maintain and harder to trust. Over time, business logic gets distributed across dashboards, SQL, and spreadsheets. What once felt flexible becomes fragile. It’s expensive to maintain, difficult to govern, and risky to change. Teams spend significant budget keeping legacy BI running, while different dashboards quietly produce different versions of the truth.

That fragmentation becomes a major barrier to AI adoption. When metric logic is buried inside BI tools and inconsistently defined, even basic questions become hard to answer with confidence. If your team can’t explain how a number is calculated, AI won’t be able to either.

A faster, safer way to modernize without starting over

Modernization doesn’t need to mean ripping everything out and waiting a year to see value. GoodData takes a phased approach that keeps dashboards online while the foundation is improved underneath.

Instead of forcing a rebuild, we create a bridge that uses AI to extract and refactor BI logic from legacy BI tools. It identifies broken logic, unused metrics, and duplication during migration. This prevents teams from recreating the same complexity in a new environment.

“Teams don’t have time for multi-quarter rebuilds that slow decision-making,” said Roman Stanek, CEO and Founder of GoodData. “They want to keep the business moving and ship analytics changes faster. With GoodData, you don’t just migrate. You fix what’s holding you back. This approach gives enterprises the velocity to modernize while staying in control of the numbers their teams depend on.”

How AI-driven BI modernization works with GoodData

GoodData modernizes BI by extracting and restructuring business logic from existing tools into a governed foundation that scales across teams, use cases, and AI systems.

The approach includes:

• Extracting BI logic with AI, capturing calculations, filters, joins, and metric definitions independently of dashboard layouts

• Refactoring and standardizing logic to remove unused metrics, consolidate duplicates, and reduce technical debt

• Building a governed semantic layer organized using a medallion architecture, with clear lineage and reusable definitions

• Deploying analytics-as-code by converting logic into version-controlled YAML files that support testing, reviews, and fast rollbacks

What this enables next

As organizations move from dashboard-driven analytics to AI-assisted decision-making and autonomous AI agents, trust and consistency become non-negotiable. GoodData helps teams modernize with less disruption and more control. The result is a governed layer of business logic that can serve reporting, embedded analytics, and AI experiences from the same foundation. Teams move faster, definitions stay consistent, and analytics remain reliable as adoption scales.

About GoodData

GoodData is an AI-native decision intelligence platform built to help enterprises turn trusted data into confident action. Designed for governed, scalable analytics, GoodData enables organizations to operationalize insights, automate decisions, and embed intelligence directly into products and business workflows.

With a composable architecture and a governed semantic layer at its core, GoodData ensures AI-powered analytics are transparent, auditable, and aligned with how enterprises define and trust their data. Organizations use GoodData to move from insight to impact faster, while maintaining enterprise-grade security, governance, and performance.

GoodData serves over 140,000 of the world’s leading companies and 3.2 million users, helping enterprises close the gap between data and decision-making.
