Dubai-based fleet management startup Moove secured $250 million in Series C funding led by Abu Dhabi's Mubadala sovereign wealth fund, bringing its valuation to $2.1 billion. The capital will fund development of autonomous vehicle "nests"—dedicated docking infrastructure for self-driving cars.

Moove operates a fleet management platform serving ride-hailing and delivery services across the Middle East and Africa. The funding round, led by Mubadala Investment Company, represents significant backing from the region's financial institutions. The startup plans to deploy autonomous vehicle nests—specialized parking and charging facilities designed for docking self-driving cars. These hubs will support fleet operations as autonomous vehicle adoption accelerates. Moove competes in the growing market for fleet management software, which optimizes vehicle utilization, maintenance, and operations. The company has expanded rapidly across emerging markets where ride-hailing demand continues climbing. Mubadala's investment signals confidence in autonomous vehicle infrastructure development within the Gulf region, where governments have invested heavily in future mobility technologies.
