Yango Tech to launch GenAI Platform to boost brand visibility
Yango Tech, the unified ecosystem delivering tailored advanced B2B technology solutions to local businesses within Yango Group, has announced the upcoming launch of its GenAI Platform. The system is designed to help retailers and brands gain top visibility and engage with customers across AI chatbots such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. The GenAI Platform will allow retailers to list and promote their products directly within AI-powered chat interfaces, turning everyday conversations into high-intent shopping experiences. For example, when customers search for queries like 'Best sneakers under $200' or 'Where to buy new hairstyler', retailers using the GenAI Platform can appear as the top result, providing real-time pricing and availability. 'With AI-driven neuro platforms becoming a dominant new channel for everyday search, Yango Tech's GenAI Platform marks a bold step forward,' said Max Avtukhov, Chief Executive of Yango Tech Retail. 'Today's consumers are turning to AI chat tools for everything from travel advice to tailored product suggestions, ushering in a new era of seamless personalized shopping experiences. It's a massive shift—from desktop to mobile browser search, and now to intelligent conversational platforms.' Initial rollouts of the GenAI Platform are set to begin with select retailers in the MENA region by the end of 2025. One of the key benefits for retailers is improved discoverability. Rather than depending exclusively on web or app traffic, businesses can now be featured prominently within AI chat results, aligning their offerings with high-intent product searches and increasing the likelihood of conversion. For example, a regional e-grocery retailer using Yango Tech's GenAI Platform can ensure their freshest produce is highlighted first when a customer queries meal planning options on Perplexity. 'We understand what it takes to win in this space first,' Avtukhov added. 'This shift is an entirely new commerce environment, and with our GenAI Platform, we will give retailers the infrastructure they need to not only show up but to win in this space first.' At the core of the platform is Yango Tech's MCP Router, a system that acts as a central translator and traffic manager. It collects product-related queries from different AI platforms, routes them to the merchant's content systems (known as MCPs), and delivers ranked results back to the user in real-time. The result is a new channel for conversational commerce, where customer engagement meets immediate transaction potential. The launch of the platform comes at a time of massive regional momentum. AI is projected to contribute up to $150 billion to GCC economies and the conversational AI market is projected to exhibit a growth rate of 23.6 per cent by 2033 in the region, while MENA's retail sector is expected to grow to $1.4 trillion by 2032. The GenAI Platform will also aim to facilitate multi-interface support, allowing brands to scale effortlessly across millions of daily interactions while maintaining low response times and consistent messaging. This scalability is essential as 40 per cent of the time, 80 per cent of users rely on AI when searching online. Following the MENA rollout, Yango Tech plans to expand the GenAI Platform to Latin America and other markets throughout 2026, supporting global retailers in capturing attention and revenue across the AI frontier.

UAE-Based Yango Group to Open Flagship Data Centre Hub in Serbia
The move will ensure more reliable, low-latency service delivery across global markets. Jun 16, 2025 Dubai-headquartered Yango Group has signed a memorandum of understanding to host its servers at Serbia's state-run data centre in Kragujevac. The facility, designed to meet TIER 4 standards and equipped with ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI DSS certifications, will serve as Yango's primary infrastructure hub for its global technology ecosystem. Under a colocation model, Yango will operate within a single-tenant environment to better control latency and performance—especially during peak loads—by avoiding shared public-cloud variability. Serbia was chosen for its central location, energy cost efficiency, and favorable cooling conditions—key elements that support robust data centre operations. The Kragujevac centre will reinforce Yango's services across more than 30 countries. Since its founding in 2018, Yango has built a diverse tech portfolio including ride-hailing, maps, delivery, entertainment, adtech, AI assistants, robotics, and autonomous services. By anchoring infrastructure in Serbia, Yango is doubling down on a self-reliant, scalable strategy aimed at improving service quality, transparency, and regulatory readiness in the MENA, Latin America, Africa, and European regions.

UAE-based Yango Group to open flagship data centre hub in Serbia to boost its global infrastructure
Yango Group, the global technology company headquartered in the UAE, has entered into a memorandum of understanding to host infrastructure at the State Data Centre in Kragujevac, Serbia. Based on a collocation model, the company will deploy its servers within the facility, which is scheduled to go online in 2025. It will become the company's primary infrastructure site, supporting services across global markets. The decision to establish the data centre is part of a broader strategy to ensure more reliable, consistent service delivery across global markets. Operating on company-owned servers inside a single-tenant suite removes the variability typical of shared public-cloud stacks and keeps latency predictably low, even at peak demand. Serbia was chosen for its strategic location, cost-effective energy, and favorable climate for data center operations. Located in Kragujevac, the State Data Centre is one of the most advanced in the region. It was designed to meet TIER 4 standards for reliability and holds internationally recognised certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and PCI DSS for data protection. Its strong physical security and energy-efficient design make it ideal for hosting critical workloads. Yango Group's wide portfolio of services operate in over 30 countries across the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, and other regions across the globe. Since the company was founded in 2018, it has expanded its global ecosystem to include a wide range of AI-powered services and solutions across multiple industries including mobility, entertainment, navigation, enterprise tech, commerce, virtual assistants, robotics, and autonomous delivery. In the MENA region, these technology platforms include Yango Ride, Yango Play, Yasmina, Yango Ads, Yango Maps, and Yango Tech. As Yango Group continues to expand globally, managing its infrastructure becomes key to ensuring high performance, transparency, and compliance across regions. The Serbian facility represents a major step toward technical self-reliance and long-term scalability.
