Globant Introduces Glob.AI, Reinventing Technology Services for the AI Era
Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a global company focused on driving enterprise reinvention through AI, today introduces Glob.AI, a new AI-native tech services model that fundamentally changes how enterprises access, purchase and deploy AI services. Available online through a self-service model, Glob.AI gives organizations access to enterprise-grade, high quality AI Pods (service units run by a set of AI agents and supervised by humans). Companies are charged for what they produce -per output or per consumption- never per seat or per hour.

“For over 20 years, Globant has stayed ahead of every major technology shift, and AI is no different. Glob.AI is our next step: the one-stop shop where our AI Pods live, each specialized by task and industry. Traditional AI adoption drives token consumption far beyond what efficient output requires, and the real cost is the wasted tokens plus the unstructured, manual supervision of AI. AI Pods introduce a smarter model, running the right AI through parallel agents, loops, workflows, and deterministic processes, representing the true state of the art of what AI can deliver today,” said Martín Migoya, CEO and co-founder of Globant.
Glob.AI brings together AI-native velocity with Globant’s 23 years of enterprise delivery baked into the governance layer. AI agents do the heavy lifting, with Globant’s experts supervising their outputs and guiding every step. Glob.AI works to standards–documented, tested, secure, built for enterprise scale. It’s the speed AI promises, with the rigor and quality that businesses need, by including:
- Well-defined, deterministic, and repeatable processes, supervised end to end by experts
- Optimized AI usage and transparent pricing: customers pay strictly for expert-validated outputs and/or real consumption — not hours, seats, AI hallucinations, retries, or wasted cycles.
- At least 30% more productive than the typical engineer-plus-AI approach
- Full AI sovereignty and governance: total flexibility over which models customers use and where they run them, with zero client data ever used to train external models.
- Token consumption secured in a client’s proprietary Token Vault, providing full traceability and compounding a client’s institutional knowledge over time.
“AI is not just making the same projects faster, it is making thousands of projects viable that never were before,” said Guibert Englebienne, co-founder of Globant. “Until today, enterprises could not buy technology services this way: instantly, transparently, paying only for results. That is the shift Glob.AI delivers, and the strong demand for AI Pods shows enterprises are ready for it.”
Organizations joining the waiting list at Glob.AI will gain early access to a comprehensive catalog of agentic workflows capable of building and deploying solutions for enterprise platforms and specialized industry use cases. The AI Pods in the offering also include partnerships with major organizations including Anthropic, AWS, Vercel, OpenAI, Adobe, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, SAP and Salesforce.
Traditional enterprise tech services require months of discovery, RFPs, and procurement cycles before the work begins. Glob.AI changes that model entirely. Users can log in and immediately start building enterprise grade software. Tech delivery becomes a live, continuous service rather than a fixed-term project — every improvement and release happening on the platform, fully visible to the client, in real time.
Globant released AI Pods in mid-2025, and they are already in use by several Fortune 500 organizations across media, entertainment, professional services, and finance, delivering early results that include:
- FIFA experiencing a 20% efficiency increase in throughput generation while maintaining or improving quality rates
- LALIGA deploying AI across key functions in three months
- YPF reducing contract timelines by up to 40%
- PharmaMar achieving 15x faster insights in oncology research
- A leading commercial bank completing a COBOL migration in 2 months versus 14 as projected with a traditional approach

Holcim UAE & 44.01 Advances Industrial Decarbonization with Full-Time CO₂ Capture and Underground Mineralization Pilot
- Building on the strategic partnership announced last year, Holcim UAE and carbon storage innovator 44.01 have achieved a milestone in industrial decarbonization with the UAE’s first continuous, live-condition carbon capture and underground mineralization pilot for the cement industry now fully operational in Fujairah.
Following its official Commissioning Day, the facility has been fully operational since 15 July, capturing CO₂ directly from the flue gas of Holcim’s Fujairah Cement Plant, designed to capture 4 to 4.5 tonnes of CO₂ daily.
The captured CO₂ is transported to 44.01’s mineralization site, where it is injected deep underground into Fujairah’s naturally occurring ultramafic rock formations, undergoing mineralization into solid carbonate rock through an accelerated natural process that provides a permanent, local carbon storage solution.
Ali Said, CEO of Holcim UAE & Oman, commented, “When we announced this partnership, we set out to prove that industrial decarbonization is not a far-off goal, but an immediate reality. Achieving full-time capture and mineralization at our Fujairah plant is an important step forward. Delivering on Holcim’s NextGen Growth strategy, we are leading industrial decarbonization in the UAE by bringing scalable, sustainable, and innovative solutions to market. Through our active carbon capture and mineralization efforts, we are permanently storing carbon and creating in-country value, sustainability, and circularity into the foundation of the built environment. Deep cross-industry partnerships remain vital to accelerating the UAE’s 2050 Net Zero target.”
This operational milestone marks the transition of the project from a pioneering concept to a proven, real-world decarbonization solution. By demonstrating the complete carbon management cycle, from capture and specialized transport to permanent in-situ mineralization under live industrial conditions, the initiative showcases a practical and scalable pathway to reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors. Over the next six months, the pilot will continue generating critical operational insights to validate the scalability and commercial potential of permanent carbon storage.
Beyond its technological achievement, the project highlights the power of local collaboration and cross-industry partnerships in accelerating the UAE’s decarbonization agenda and supporting its Net Zero 2050 ambitions. At the same time, it establishes a global benchmark for the cement industry, contributing to Holcim’s broader portfolio of pioneering CCUS initiatives and demonstrating a replicable model for industrial carbon reduction worldwide.
“This Fujairah project demonstrates what 44.01 is building: real projects that deliver safe, permanent CO₂ storage locally. By integrating our in-situ mineralisation technology with Holcim’s live cement operations, we are proving that permanent carbon storage can be deployed today to decarbonise an industrial site. This milestone supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 vision while also establishing a scalable model that can be replicated across diverse industries and geological settings worldwide.” added, Talal Hasan, Founder and CEO of 44.01.
The successful operation of the pilot is made possible through strong public-private collaboration, supported by key partners including the Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation (FNRC), the Fujairah Environment Authority (FEA), NT Energies and Gulf Cryo.
