The group
A family technology holding, held for good.
Six companies, one of them a joint venture in MENA, and one owner behind them: the SYED family. We keep every company we take on and make it stronger with technology.
01 Our vision
Driven by a sense to be impactful and care for our universe, we have a vision to build a global ethical empire with technologies to replace extractive power with net-positive power for humanity through the engineering of a new model of power where scale creates self-sustainable good.
There are two kinds of power. We choose the second.
Power that takes
It squeezes clients. It burns people. It grows by making others smaller. When it leaves, nothing good stays behind.
Power that gives
The bigger it grows, the more good it creates. More jobs. More skills. More people who can stand on their own feet.
Most people think you must choose: powerful or good. We refuse that choice. That is why we fight.
02 How we grow
Bigger, so we can make a bigger difference.
We grow in two directions, always by keeping what we take on. Scale is not the aim in itself. It is how a group like ours does more good, for more people, for longer.
- Horizontal
New capabilities and new markets.
We add companies that do different technical work, and we take the group into more countries, so it can serve organizations in more of what they need, wherever they are.
- Vertical
Deeper in what we already do.
We add companies that strengthen a capability from end to end, so each one can build, run, protect and recover more of the technology it is responsible for.
03 Data, AI and SI
Technology is how we make every company stronger.
We bring data, automation and AI into every company we own, and into how we run the group. A human approves every change.
- 01 Data
Everything starts as data.
Each company sees its own work clearly: one shared view of finance, service and risk, so decisions rest on facts.
- 02 AI
AI takes the repetitive work.
Our companies use AI to sort, draft and check the routine work around their services, so their people spend their time with customers. A human expert approves every action that changes something.
- 03 SI
Next, super intelligence.
We are building towards super intelligence: systems that reason across everything the group runs. It will always answer to people, and a human approves every change it proposes.
KIDAN, our main operating company, runs and protects the technology of 1,300+ organizations.
04 How the group is built
An owner at the bottom, companies on top.
Each layer serves the one above it. The family owns; the holding governs and finances; a shared platform makes every company stronger; the companies serve their customers.
