Financial services group expands AI and data science offerings via new sub
#Egypt #financialservices - Egyptian financial services provider Beltone Holding has launched Robin, a wholly owned subsidiary specialising in data science and artificial intelligence solutions for large enterprises, across industry sectors in Egypt and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The Cairo-based company aims to offer comprehensive AI advisory services, data implementation solutions, executive upskilling programmes, and cutting-edge data products including real-time market monitoring tools and predictive analytics dashboards. Robin is led by Basma Rady, Chief Data Scientist at Beltone Holding and Managing Director of the new subsidiary.
SO WHAT? - Although it has the largest talent pool of computer science graduates in the Middle East, Egypt has so far seen few well-funded companies launched to focus on AI. In April, Beltone Holding announced that it has raised its capital by 10.5 billion Egyptian pounds ($205m), framing the increase as supporting strategic expansion, AI and digital transformation. It is now clear that its focus on AI and digital transformation extends far beyond the organisation and that the ambition of its new subsidiary Robin is to carve out an AI leadership position in MENA.
