ZainTECH, the integrated digital solutions provider of Zain Group, is set to make its inaugural appearance at GITEX Global 2023, which is taking place from October 16 to October 20 in Dubai, UAE. The company’s stand, located at number C10 in Hall 21 within the Exhibition Center, promises to be a focal point for innovation and digital transformation.

Since its inception in October 2021, ZainTECH has been on an extraordinary journey of development, playing a pivotal role in the growth and evolution of Zain Group’s ‘4Sight’ profitable growth strategy and core telecom business. The company is primed to leverage its participation at GITEX Global to showcase its cutting-edge portfolio of products and digital solutions spanning cloud, cybersecurity, data services, and drones and robotics.

“Participating in GITEX Global offers an exceptional platform for us to showcase our latest technological innovations, engage with industry experts, and establish valuable connections with potential clients and partners from around the world,” said Andrew Hanna, CEO of ZainTECH.

“This leading regional event serves as a focal point for the tech industry, and we shall use it to celebrate our vision for an expedited time-to-value proposition for our clients, as we place digital excellence and the ability to drive positive results across the entire ICT landscape at the heart of our proposition.”

ZainTECH’s journey since 2021 has been marked by strategic acquisitions to enhance its competitive positioning. The company will showcase these affiliate organisations at its GITEX stand. Notably, the recent acquisition of Adfolks, a UAE-based cloud-native engineering firm with expertise in Modern Infrastructure, Application Modernisation, Security, Data & Machine Learning, and Automation, was announced in May 2023. This move follows the acquisition of BIOS Middle East, a regional managed secure cloud provider, announced in October 2022.

Beyond ZainTECH, digital-oriented entities within Zain Group, including Dizlee and FOO, are set to shine at GITEX 2023. Dizlee, Zain Group’s API digital monetisation ecosystem provider, has partnered with 30+ global OTT and solutions providers, offering over 100 different digital innovations. FOO, Zain’s B2B SAAS solution provider, specialises in innovative fintech solutions built entirely in-house, empowering businesses across diverse industries to optimise digital capabilities.

During GITEX 2023, FOO will showcase the digital transformation it has provided banks, fintech companies, and key retailers across the globe. The platform, which is built on digital micro-services, can be assembled to meet the specific requirements of each client, delivering solutions for remittances, digital wallets, tokenised transactions, fully automated micro-lending, and BNPL.”

Sustainability is at the core of Zain’s values, and this commitment is evident in its presence at GITEX 23. The ZainTECH stand will be constructed using recycled materials, with component parts designed for reuse, aligning with the company’s sustainability principles. Zain will also dedicate an area to showcase its sustainability initiatives across the region and release its latest thought leadership report, reaffirming its position as the only telco in the region regularly publishing reports that provoke conversations and lobby for change.

As GITEX Global 2023 approaches, ZainTECH anticipates announcing a multitude of strategic partnerships, making it an event filled with exciting developments and opportunities for innovation and collaboration in the digital and technology space.
