Recognized as a leading Autonomous Systems Provider, Marakeb Technologies was founded in 2007 by Basel Shuhaiber, who has since led a strategic positioning of his company for defense and security applications and beyond towards various other sectors and industries.
With a background in Mechanical Engineering and Architecture, Basel’s interests steered him to build boats and quadcopters in his early professional years, soon to be overcome by his passion for technology and a vision to outrun the trend towards Unmanned Operations.
In 2014, Shuhaiber co-invented the MAP Pro technology- a modular unmanned conversion system that is patented in the UK, UAE, Hong Kong, and Australia- and his vision quickly turned to a tangible reality where he has since dedicated his resources into the endless possibilities of integrating this technology: converting aerial, land and marine platforms to serve a multitude of missions and applications.
Today, Basel Shuhaiber sits as Chief Executive Officer at Marakeb Technologies, is a board member at longstanding UAE contractors Intermass Engineering, and continues to be involved in the development of his company’s systems and projects.
