An R&D and innovation consultancy helps an organization investigate opportunities, develop and test ideas, apply emerging technologies and reduce uncertainty before implementation.

This may involve strategic research, design, engineering, software development, material experimentation, prototyping, user testing and pilot development.

IBDÅ brings these activities together within a multidisciplinary, design-led process.

Yes.

Many projects begin with an ambition, opportunity, technology or unresolved problem rather than a completed brief.

We can help frame the challenge, research the context, identify possible directions and determine what should be investigated or tested first.

Yes.

We develop digital, physical, material and hybrid proofs of concept. Depending on the project, this may include UX/UI, software, AI, connected hardware, sensors, industrial design, material samples, digital fabrication or an integrated demonstrator.

Yes.

IBDÅ is based in Dubai and provides product research, industrial design, prototyping, interface design and technology-integration services for companies and institutions in the UAE, the region and internationally.

Yes, where AI supports a clear purpose.

We can assess the current product or workflow, identify relevant AI opportunities, prioritize potential use cases and develop an interface or proof of concept to test the proposed application.

Yes.

We design and develop websites, applications, dashboards, data platforms, internal tools and connected digital experiences.

We can support product strategy, user research, UX/UI design, prototyping, frontend development, full-stack development and system integration.

Yes.

We can assess an existing platform or workflow, identify gaps and usability problems, and redesign the experience to make information easier to enter, understand and act upon.

Where required, we can also support development and integration with existing systems and data sources.

Yes.

Our capabilities are relevant to government innovation, citizen engagement, public-service design, participatory planning, ecosystem mapping, strategic visualization, governance platforms and decision-support systems.

Yes.

We conduct applied material research, iterative formulation trials, local-resource and waste-stream exploration, sustainable-design research and prototype development.

Yes.

We can help define, design and prototype connected systems involving sensors, embedded technologies, data pipelines, interfaces, dashboards, responsive behavior and AI integration.

Yes.

We design physical–digital experiences for public spaces, exhibitions, cultural institutions and events using sensors, computer vision, data visualization, responsive media, gamification and custom applications.

Yes.

We design and facilitate workshops, sprints, innovation challenges, training programs and collaborative R&D initiatives around specific organizational priorities.

Yes.

We work from Dubai with clients and partners across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the GCC, the wider Middle East and internationally.

Projects can combine remote collaboration with in-person research, workshops, prototyping, fabrication or installation where required.

Start by sharing the challenge, opportunity or idea you are exploring. It does not need to be fully defined.

We will discuss the context, clarify the intended outcome and recommend an appropriate starting point—whether that is a workshop, research sprint, strategy phase, proof of concept, prototype or end-to-end development project.
