TECHNOLOGY — MENA

Technology sector market entry & growth in MENA.

The MENA region is emerging as a global technology powerhouse, with major investments in AI, cloud, fintech, and smart cities. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt are opening unprecedented opportunities — but data localization rules, cybersecurity mandates, and evolving regulations require a precise, compliant market strategy. BCI turns this complexity into a competitive advantage.

Our five-pillar framework for technology

Our framework is purpose-built for technology players where regulation, infrastructure, and ecosystem integration determine long-term success.
