Why they built LGN

Two careers, one conviction: AI should be delivered, not just discussed.

Amir brings the builder's bias for shipping; Mohammed brings the rigour of peer-reviewed research. Together they founded London Gulf Nexus to put both in the same room - for clients across London, Riyadh, Dubai and Muscat.
