Can you tell us about your
activities at GITEX 2019
and your own role within
the company?
so all our horizontal capabilities need
to lead to us being able to generate
new digital businesses.
How innovative is Injazat?
GITEX has always been important
to us – we always contribute to
showcase what we’re working on,
what the future holds and what we’re
currently doing with our clients. We want to be on the list of top
innovative companies, so we’ve
invested a lot in emerging technology.
We spoke about our partnerships
with the government – Hassantuk
and Malaffi – which we call our
digital ventures. Of course, we have cloud and we
have cyberdefence, but we have
also invested heavily in emerging
technology because we believe that
we need to contribute to, and directly
impact, the lives of citizens.
Those are the interesting ventures
we want to create more of. We’re all
about creating that buzz and saying
‘come to us – we are the guys that
can make money for you and generate
new revenue streams’.
So GITEX this year was very special
and a shifting point. My role within
the organisation is to set the
technology strategy to support that,
Malaffi is a project that saves lives.
Hassantuk is an immediate fire
detection system that that can also
save lives, so we are very proud
that we’re now no longer a support
services company, we’re actually
with the business, creating a huge
impact and we want to do more of
those types of projects.
