INVESTMENT PITCH

Al-Shababi Research

The Middle East's Premier Reproductive Biotechnology Center

Elite Genetics. Preserved. Accessible. Revolutionary.

December 2025 | Dubai, UAE

THE VISION

The Future We're Building

Imagine elite camel genetics stored like high-value seeds on a shelf—not in endless tanks of liquid nitrogen. A breeder in a remote desert farm opens a vial, adds solution, and deposits genetics collected years earlier into ICSI to produce embryos.

No power cuts. No nitrogen deliveries. No distance constraints.

This is AN-MEP. This is the revolution we're leading.

OPPORTUNITY

Market Opportunity

GCC Breeding Market

400,000+

elite camels & horses in UAE alone

Annual Breeding Services

AED 3.2B+

annual market spend (regional)

Fragmented Supply

Zero

integrated full-service providers in GCC

Al-Shababi targets 2-3% market share by Year 5 = AED 65-100M+ revenue

THE CHALLENGE

The Problem: Fragmentation

Dependency Chains

Breeders juggle embryo transfer clinics + genetics labs + preservation facilities

Liquid Nitrogen Lock-in

Expensive infrastructure, power dependency, geographic isolation

Data Silos

Genetics, breeding records, and embryo data scattered across providers

Slow Innovation

No integrated R&D driving next-gen techniques like room-temperature preservation

OUR APPROACH

Full-Service Integration

One Partner. Complete Genetics Management. From Collection to Breeding.

Elite Semen Collection & Preservation

Room-temperature AN-MEP storage eliminates nitrogen dependency

Genetic Banking & Sequencing

Full genome archival with lifetime accessibility

Advanced Reproductive Technologies

ICSI, IVF, embryo transfer, cloning all integrated

Unified Data Platform

Single source of truth for genetics, breeding records, embryo outcomes

Breeding Intelligence

Real-time insights connecting genetics to outcomes

Result: Breeders go to ONE partner instead of juggling multiple clinics, labs, and storage facilities. Better outcomes. Lower cost. Faster scaling.

INTEGRATED MODEL

BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY

AN-MEP: The Integration Enabler

Antioxidant Nanocarrier-Mediated Encapsulated Preservation

Technology

Trehalose-based lyophilization + antioxidant nanoparticles + oxygen-controlled packaging

Storage

2-5 years at 4-25°C (no liquid nitrogen, no power dependency)

Outcome

Genomically intact sperm ready for ICSI and embryo production

Market Impact

Decentralizes elite genetics—breeders can store, ship, and use whenever needed

First results: 6 months of operation | Full commercialization: 18-24 months R&D validation

BUSINESS MODEL

Integrated Revenue Model: Year 1

AED 60-80M Revenue Target

Multiple Revenue Streams. One Integrated Delivery.

60%

Embryo Transfer

42-54M AED

Core service: Genetic delivery to recipients. Data feeds cloning & gene banking.

20%

Gene Banking

12-16M AED

Lifetime genetic archival. Enables cloning & future breeding decisions.

10%

IVF/ICSI

6-8M AED

Embryo production backbone. Works with all preservation & genetics.

5-10%

Cloning + AN-MEP

4-6M AED

Premium services. AN-MEP integrates with embryo transfer + genetics.

Key insight: Each service amplifies the others. Embryo transfer drives gene banking demand. Genetics archives enable cloning. AN-MEP preserves valuable genetics. One client, one platform, exponential value.

COMPETITIVE MOAT

Competitive Advantage: Full Integration

Full-Service Integration

Competitors offer single services (embryo transfer OR cloning OR banking). We offer all integrated. Clients have zero switching cost—why go elsewhere?

Data Network Effects

Each service generates data. More data = better breeding intelligence. Better intelligence = more clients. Defensible moat.

R&D Innovation (AN-MEP)

Proprietary room-temperature preservation. Competitors cannot replicate in less than 2 years. Massive operational & cost advantage.

Economics of Scale

Integrated delivery reduces marginal costs. We can undercut fragmented competitors on price while maintaining margins.

First-Mover Dominance

First integrated player in GCC breeding market locks in elite clients, leaving no viable openings for competitors.
