ZainTECH joins SAMENA Council to expand role in enabling Enterprise-scale Digital Infrastructure across the Region
- Intelligent and resilient capabilities such as cloud, cybersecurity, AI and data platforms are becoming core to how government bodies and enterprises deliver services
Dubai, UAE May 11, 2026
The SAMENA Telecommunications Council announces that ZainTECH, the digital solutions arm of Zain Group, has joined its membership strengthening its engagement with regional operators, regulators, and technology partners. ZainTECH enables government bodies and organizations to become Digital, Intelligent, and Resilient; modernizing operations, embedding AI, and ensuring secure, always-on performance at scale.
ZainTECH provides cloud, cybersecurity, data, AI, and digital infrastructure services across multiple markets. Its participation in the Council will focus on infrastructure resilience, cross-border data flows, and accelerating enterprise adoption of emerging technologies.
As telecom operators expand beyond connectivity toward cloud-based networks, cybersecurity frameworks, and data-driven services, the company sees closer coordination with industry stakeholders as necessary to scale these capabilities effectively.
Andrew Hanna, CEO of ZainTECH, said “Our role sits at the intersection of telecom and enterprise technology, where infrastructure, data and security must come together to support scalable, real-world operations. Joining SAMENA alongside many other distinguished entities allows us to engage more closely with operators, policymakers and ecosystems partners on how this transition is being shaped across the region. At ZainTECH, we see this evolution not just as a technology shift, but as an operational one requiring structured delivery models, strong governance, and regional execution at scale”
The SAMENA Telecommunications Council brings together telecom operators, technology companies, and government stakeholders across the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. Its work includes policy dialogue, industry coordination, and initiatives tied to connectivity and digital development.
Bocar A. BA, CEO of the Council, said ZainTECH’s addition reflects a broader shift in the sector. “Telecom is no longer defined by connectivity alone. Capabilities such as cloud, cybersecurity, and data platforms are becoming core to how operators deliver services. ZainTECH brings experience in these areas that is directly relevant to our members.”
ZainTECH will contribute to the Council’s broader industry work, contributing to discussions and initiatives related to telecom development, digital infrastructure, and evolving technology needs across the region and afar.
