ZainTECH secures Saudi commercial licence
ZainTECH, the integrated digital solutions provider of Zain Group, said it has achieved a significant milestone in its regional expansion strategy by securing a commercial licence in Saudi Arabia that will pave the way for the entity to set up its regional offices in the kingdom.
This transition from an investment licence to a full national entity status cements ZainTECH's long-term commitment to the kingdom, allowing it to scale its advanced technology solutions across key sectors such as digital IoT, cybersecurity, drones, AI, and cloud services, said a statement from ZainTECH.
Saudi Arabia is a vital market for ZainTECH, and securing national entity status marks a defining moment in its growth journey.
The commercial licence comes on the back of ZainTECH's recent participation at LEAP 25 whereby the company announced a multitude of agreements with local entities including: King Khalid University that aims to revolutionise digital education; with both Najm Insurance Group and Diamond Policy and its Shahin Platform to drive digital transformation, cybersecurity and technological advancements in KSA's insurance sector; as well as with Leejam Sports to drive the future of digital fitness in the Kingdom and beyond.
This step facilitates the opening of regional offices and will allow the company to operate with greater agility, contribute to the kingdom's digital economy, and reinforce its mission to deliver world-class technology solutions that empower businesses and government bodies to better serve the dynamic and digitally savvy local community.
The strategic move underscores ZainTECH's deep commitment to Saudi Arabia's digital transformation ambitions, fully aligning with Vision 2030, said the statement.
By strengthening its local presence, the company is poised to forge stronger collaborations, drive meaningful innovation, and provide tailor-made solutions that address the evolving needs of businesses and government entities in KSA, it stated.
As part of ZainTECH's expansion to the Saudi market, the company is actively exploring strategic partnerships with both public and private sector organizations to accelerate the adoption of next-generation solutions that enhance efficiency, security, innovation and business resilience.
This expansion is also set to create new opportunities for local talent, strengthen the kingdom's digital infrastructure, and accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies across industries.
"By deepening its footprint in Saudi Arabia, ZainTECH is doubling down on its investment in cutting-edge digital services, reinforcing its role as a key player in the region's technological evolution," said a company spokesman.
ZainTECH, he stated, has cemented its position as a leading ICT digital solutions provider to enterprises and government bodies across the MEA region.
"With a focus on AI-driven solutions, cloud advancements, and enterprise security, the company is well-positioned to support the Kingdom's vision for a sustainable, technology-driven economy," he added.- TradeArabia News Service

Qatar's economic diversification spurs influx of high-tech, sustainability
Doha - Qatar's ambitious push toward economic diversification under its National Vision 2030 is rapidly transforming the country into a magnet for global consulting firms specialising in technology, sustainability, and governance. As the nation accelerates its investments in digital infrastructure, ESG compliance, and private sector development, a new wave of consulting expertise is entering the market bringing with it cutting-edge AI platforms, deep sectoral knowledge, and a strong focus on building local talent and institutional capacity, an official explains. This growing influx signals both confidence in Qatar's reform agenda and the rising demand for agile, innovation-driven advisory support across sectors. Global consulting firms continue to play a key role by placing Qatar at the center of its ambitious plan to scale revenues from $24m to $100m in just two years. Speaking to The Peninsula, Jamil Khatri, Co-Founder and CEO of Uniqus Consulting said 'We are already on track for revenues of $50m this year. Qatar is critical to our $100m roadmap. We bring a highly differentiated approach — from deep expertise and global integration to a proprietary tech stack that sets us apart in the consulting landscape.' The official underlines that there is a strong synergy with Qatar's ambitious development goals, particularly as the nation advances its strategy toward economic diversification, digital transformation, and global competitiveness. 'Qatar's Vision 2030 outlines a bold digital and economic transformation agenda, and believe it is well-positioned to contribute through our proprietary tech platforms, AI investments, ESG capabilities, and global expertise around risk management, he said. 'The Qatari vision of being in the top echelons of the business environment and digital competitiveness aligns well with our service offerings, Khatri said. To ensure cultural relevance and impactful execution, companies are leaning on local partnerships and targeted talent strategies. A key example is its collaboration with the Gulf Organisation for Research and Development (GORD) in the field of sustainability and ESG — a partnership the firm aims to deepen through its Qatar operations. 'We have already identified a local leader with a deep understanding of the market, to lead our operations in Qatar,' Khatri noted. 'We're committed to recruiting and nurturing local talent while leveraging Uniqus' global skills to build awareness and capability in the Qatari market.' 'The GCC is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by diversification, infrastructure, digital reform, and governance. Qatar, in particular, stands out as a beacon of this shift. As companies in the region move forward on this journey, the demand for agile, tech-enabled consulting will only intensify and that is a significant growth driver, he added. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution.
