Swvl Secures a New Five-Year Contract of Up To $5.5 Million in the UAE, Its Fastest-Growing Market Following ~5x Growth in 2025
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), the leading provider of technology-enabled mass mobility solutions, today announced the signing of a new five-year contract (the “Contract”) valued at up to $5.5 million in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”), further strengthening its position in one of its fastest-growing and high-value markets.
The Contract builds on Swvl’s strong momentum in the UAE, where the Company achieved approximately 5x growth in December 2025 over January 2025, driven by the Company’s goal of expanding enterprise partnerships, having multi-site deployments, and increased demand for data-driven workforce mobility solutions.
The Contract reinforces Swvl’s strategy of focusing on long-term, high-value enterprise contracts, providing end-to-end transportation solutions across complex operations, multiple shifts, and large employee populations.
We believe that the deployment will leverage Swvl’s full technology and operations stack to deliver optimized routing, improved fleet utilization, and real-time performance visibility.
“The UAE has emerged as one of Swvl’s most important and fastest-growing markets globally,” said Mostafa Kandil, Chief Executive Officer at Swvl. “Securing a $5.5 million multi-year contract reflects both the scale of demand we are seeing and the confidence enterprises place in Swvl’s ability to deliver reliable, efficient, and technology-led transportation at scale.”
We believe that Swvl’s growth in the UAE has been driven by its ability to address large-scale transportation challenges through a combination of proprietary technology, disciplined operations, and deep market understanding. The Company’s platform aims to enable enterprise customers to optimize costs while maintaining service quality and operational control.
“We believe that our growth in the UAE is a direct result of disciplined execution and a clear focus on enterprise value creation,” added Ahmed Misbah, Chief Financial Officer at Swvl. “We remain committed to scaling responsibly, deepening long-term partnerships, and expanding our footprint in markets where technology-enabled mass mobility delivers measurable impact.”
The Contract further reinforces Swvl’s positioning in high-value markets, following successful deployments across the Gulf cooperation Council (“GCC”). The Company continues to see strong demand from sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, education, and large corporate campuses.
With this milestone, Swvl continues to strengthen its regional leadership, while supporting enterprises in building smarter, more efficient transportation ecosystems across the Middle East.
