AI company to expand in Seven Corners

Enabled Intelligence Inc., an artificial intelligence startup, is investing $1.4 million to expand its headquarters in Seven Corners, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority announced Sept. 21.

The company will add more than 10,000 square feet to its offices at 6400 Arlington Blvd. The two office towers at that site were renovated last November and rebranded as “Lookout 6400.”

The expansion will create 117 new jobs.

Enabled Intelligence provides sensitive and classified data labeling services and AI algorithm development for the military and other government agencies. It was founded in October 2020.

“We are excited to expand our operations here in Virginia,” said CEO Peter Kant. “Our Fairfax County home is close to our federal customers, and we are able to draw on the highly qualified Virginia workforce of high-tech neurodiverse professionals and military veterans.”

“I am pleased to once again see a major technology innovator expanding its operations in Fairfax County,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Jeffrey McKay. “This growth in AI applications from a company that also capitalizes on the tremendous workforce diversity of our county is a perfect example of how next-generation companies headquartered here are leading the way.”

The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority worked with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to secure the project for Virginia. The state-funded Virginia Jobs Investment Program will help Enabled Intelligence with employee recruitment and training activities.

“Accelerating the transition of startups is one of my administration’s goals, and the expansion of businesses such as Enabled Intelligence in Fairfax County is key to our economic development strategy,” Youngkin said.
