AI12 Ltd., a global specialist insurance and reinsurance brokerage, has received authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and is now officially established as a regulated entity within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
AI12 is recognised for its deep expertise in the aviation sector and its commitment to delivering specialised solutions across a wide range of industries. Operating across four continents, the company provides risk solutions to diverse, large-scale fleets, serving over 100 clients in more than 60 countries.
Becoming a DFSA-regulated re/insurance brokerage further solidifies AI12’s position as a trusted intermediary operating under the highest international regulatory standards.
The DIFC—an established global financial hub linking the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa—offers an attractive environment for specialist firms like AI12. It provides a gateway to global markets and proximity to key players across the aviation, aerospace, energy, oil & gas, marine, financial lines, employee benefits, and complex property sectors. Additional benefits include full foreign ownership, an English common law legal framework, and access to a growing regional and international client base.
AI12’s presence in the DIFC supports the firm’s five-year strategic growth plan, enabling it to scale services for a broader international client base, build deeper partnerships, and access capital structures. The new base will also serve as a launchpad to enhance engagement across Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
Anvar Mullabekov, Founder & CEO of AI12 Ltd. said, “Our establishment in the DIFC as a DFSA-regulated (re)insurance brokerage firm is both a strategic and symbolic milestone for AI12. It sends a clear message to partners and markets about our credibility, our commitment to global standards, and our readiness to deliver innovative solutions at scale. This success is a reflection of the trust placed in us by our clients and the collective contributions of our exceptional team across the globe.”
Pascal Picano, Chairman of AI12 Ltd. commented, “The growing regulatory footprint of AI12 reflects the increased recognition of our maturity, focus, and service excellence in international markets. Our aim is to channel this development to deepen our client relationships, particularly in the aviation and airline segments, and to support the firm’s strategic growth across key geographies.”
Lorenzo Signor, Executive Director of AI12 Ltd. added, “This development is a reflection of AI12’s rapid and structured growth as a trusted aviation broker and advisor. It strengthens our positioning with both clients and the insurance market. Our DFSA authorisation not only reinforces trust, it enhances our ability to provide timely, regulated, and globally compliant support to airlines and aviation partners across our specialty lines.”
