Over the last few months, Fusemachines moved from its Nasdaq debut on Oct 23, 2025 through reseller expansion and AI-focused partnerships. The launch of a global reseller network and the Genese Solution agreement aimed to scale AI Studio and AI Engines distribution, yet several announcements, including the RentRedi partnership and Nasdaq notice resolution, saw negative reactions. Today’s 2026 growth strategy update continues this narrative of emphasizing vertical AI products, partnerships, and selective M&A against a backdrop of volatile post-listing trading.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +5.2% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with management’s emphasis on a focused, multi-pillar plan for 2026 built around retail and real estate, sales investment, partnerships, and selective acquisitions. Past news often saw price weakness despite constructive updates, so any large upside move would have contrasted with earlier divergence patterns and could have reflected shifting sentiment toward execution on AI Studio and AI Engines and the company’s broader democratizing AI mission.

Multi-pillar growth plan focused on vertical expansion, sales and marketing, partnerships, and selective acquisitions
NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fusemachines Inc. (“Fusemachines” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:FUSE), a leading provider of enterprise AI products and services, today outlined its strategic growth priorities, positioning the Company for a pivotal year in 2026, focused on disciplined execution, enterprise ROI, and responsible AI product innovation.
After more than a decade of building proprietary AI platforms, real-world enterprise deployments, and a global team of AI PhDs and engineers, Fusemachines entered the public markets in October of 2025. With its public-company foundation in place, the Company is now focused on accelerating growth based on four (4) key pillars:
- Focused vertical product innovation in retail and real estate
- Organic growth through increased sales and marketing investment
- Strategic partnerships, including global resellers and systems integrators
- Selective acquisitions that complement Fusemachines’ platform and accelerate scale
“Becoming a public company provides a powerful platform to accelerate growth, and we intend to do so with discipline and purpose,” said Dr. Sameer Maskey, Founder and CEO of Fusemachines. “We are prioritizing the markets where we have proven traction and a clear ability to win, while continuing to deliver AI solutions that generate measurable enterprise value.”
Fusemachines’ growth strategy is centered on its AI Studio and portfolio of AI Engines, which enable the rapid development and deployment of industry-specific AI solutions. The Company has seen early success deploying AI Engines in retail and real estate, which it has identified as its two primary vertical focus areas for 2026.
The Company recently discussed these priorities during a live Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by GateWatchHQ, where management addressed investor questions related to the Nasdaq uplisting, enterprise demand, partnerships, and capital deployment, and in a public CEO letter, that includes further details.
Alongside its growth initiatives, Fusemachines continues to advance its mission of democratizing AI. The Company plans to expand responsible AI governance features within its platforms, establish AI and product advisory boards, and scale its AI education programs in underserved communities across the United States and globally.
“With growth comes responsibility,” added Dr. Maskey. “We are committed to building AI that is not only powerful and secure, but also accessible and equitable.”
