Intelligence Lens, a leading data analytics services provider and affiliate of AnalytixNow, announced the launch of its new headquarters in Bahrain as part of a strategic move that was facilitated by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB). The company’s digital platform will be the first of its kind in the island nation, leveraging Bahrain as a hub to achieve its expansion plans to serve clients in regional and global markets. AnalytixNow, which was first established in Bahrain in 2020, currently has strategic partnerships in several markets including the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and India.
Joining the rising trend of AI-powered firms setting up in Bahrain, Intelligence Lens newest office has developed an AI analytics application that analyzes data, and also presents it in visually engaging formats, facilitating better comprehension and presentation of complex datasets. The digital platform has been designed to easily integrate with leading global e-commerce giants, such as Shopify and Amazon, providing online retailers and stores with an application that transforms complex data into actionable output, empowering them to make data-driven decisions swiftly and accurately. In line with its growth plans to serve the entire Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region, Intelligence Lens will be hiring an initial batch of employees in Bahrain with a focus on data analytics, software engineers, and product developers, with ambitions to increase this number as it expands its scope and customer base.
Faiz Al Wari, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Intelligence Lens said, “We would like to extend our gratitude to the Bahrain Economic Development Board for their ongoing support throughout our journey and are thrilled to announce our milestone launch in Bahrain, which will serve as the ideal destination for our expansion. We believe that data has the potential to completely transform industries and provide clients with a competitive edge through insights. Our application has already been integrated with Shopify, and our next phase will involve ensuring its compatibility with other leading e-commerce platforms. Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a platform that will revolutionize data management practices and drive continuous improvement in achieving measurable outcomes for online retailers.”
Musab Abdullah, Executive Director of Business Development of ICT at Bahrain EDB, said, “Bahrain has consistently been at the forefront of new technology adoption, benefiting from a highly skilled bilingual talent pool. The Kingdom is increasingly becoming a magnet for innovative AI companies, particularly amid global tech talent shortages. We are excited to witness a steady stream of tech companies choosing Bahrain as their destination for regional and global expansion, which is a testament to Bahrain’s unique advantages, including state-of-the-art digital infrastructure, a supportive business ecosystem, and best value operating cost. We look forward to continuing to support Intelligence Lens in their investment journey and look forward to seeing them continue to grow.” Bahrain ranked fifth globally and third in the MENA region in the ICT Development 2024 Index (IDI) issued by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which measures the development level of the information and communication technology sector (ICT) across 170 countries.
