ZainTECH, the integrated digital solutions arm of Zain Group, has announced a strategic partnership with Vortex Global, a cutting-edge software company known for its surveillance and visual intelligence innovations. The partnership has the potential to revolutionize enterprise video data environments by implementing AI-powered analytics and high-efficiency compression.
ZainTECH provides integrated digital solutions and services from a single platform by combining Zain Group’s ICT capabilities. Offering a wide range of services in cloud, cybersecurity, AI, IoT, smart cities, and other areas, it positions itself as a transformative force for MENA government and business clients. Operating across Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, and the UAE, ZainTECH is a core pillar of Zain’s evolution from a traditional telecom company to a digital lifestyle and ICT powerhouse.

As part of the agreement, ZainTECH will integrate two of Vortex’s flagship innovations into its portfolio: “Z Compress” and “Twin Vision.”
Z Compress, developed by Secure City Solutions (SCS), is a high-performance video compression technology that significantly lowers bandwidth and storage needs without sacrificing codecs, frame rates, or video quality. It enables companies to reduce expenses and enhance the functionality of data-intensive environments, which is especially important in today’s operational contexts that are driven by content and surveillance.
Meanwhile, Vortex’s Twin Vision platform applies AI-powered visual analytics to enhance remote monitoring, situational awareness, and informed decision-making. By merging this advanced technology with ZainTECH’s infrastructure and reach, the collaboration aims to optimize safety, efficiency, and visibility across critical business sectors.
Andrew Hanna, CEO of ZainTECH, said “Our partnership with Vortex supports Zain Group’s ‘4WARD-Progress with Purpose’ strategy and advances our vision for an intelligent, efficient, and connected digital future. By integrating advanced video compression and visual intelligence technologies, we are helping organizations unlock new levels of performance, insight, and cost optimization, making them more digital, intelligent, and resilient in an increasingly data-driven world.”
Mohammad Ahmed, CEO of Vortex, added “This collaboration with ZainTECH, brings together our technological innovation and ZainTECH’s regional presence to help organizations achieve smarter, more efficient video performance. Partnering with ZainTECH to introduce Twin Vision also marks an important milestone in bringing our visual intelligence technology to a broader audience. Together, we aim to redefine how organizations visualize, analyze, and manage their environments.”
