Egypt’s Beltone Holding launches AI subsidiary ‘Robin’ to drive regional data innovation
Cairo-based firm to focus on enterprise AI, predictive analytics, and talent development across MENA
CAIRO, Egypt (MNTV) — Egyptian investment giant Beltone Holding has launched a new artificial intelligence and data science subsidiary, Robin, aiming to deliver intelligent data-driven solutions across the Middle East and North Africa.
Headquartered in Cairo, Robin is a wholly owned arm of Beltone and will serve as a regional hub for AI services, transforming unstructured data into business insights to enhance operational efficiency and resilience across sectors.
The firm targets a diverse client base including corporations, startups, and institutions in need of actionable data tools and predictive analytics, according to Ahram Online.
“Robin was founded on the principle that data is not just supportive—it’s transformative,” said Basma Rady, Chief Data Scientist at Beltone Holding and Managing Director of Robin. “We’ve built a team with technical depth and interdisciplinary expertise to design practical, high-impact solutions across industries.”
The company offers end-to-end services—from data preparation and architecture to full AI implementation and systems integration.
These include proprietary products such as real-time monitoring platforms, forecasting models, and custom sector-specific dashboards designed to streamline performance and decision-making.
In addition to enterprise solutions, Robin is investing in AI literacy and talent development, offering executive workshops, technical training, and skill-building initiatives to equip organizations for a fast-evolving digital landscape.
Robin is currently active in sectors including finance, insurance, e-commerce, logistics, hospitality, and real estate, and is exploring further expansion into healthcare, manufacturing, and public services.
The company emphasizes strict data governance protocols, ensuring client data is handled securely within segregated environments and accessed only under need-to-know conditions.
The launch aligns with Egypt’s broader digital transformation goals. In January, the government unveiled the second phase of its National AI Strategy (2025–2030), aiming to position the country as a regional leader in artificial intelligence.
The strategy outlines six core pillars and 21 initiatives, including the development of 30,000 AI specialists, the creation of 250 AI-focused firms, and the publication of 6,000 research papers annually by 2030.
The AI Talent Readiness Index for Africa 2025 ranked Egypt—alongside Tunisia—as one of the continent’s most prepared nations for AI integration.
Experts say Robin’s establishment reflects growing national investment in digital infrastructure, talent cultivation, and applied innovation.
As the demand for AI professionals rises, with fields such as machine learning, Python programming, and data analysis growing rapidly, Robin is poised to play a key role in shaping Egypt’s AI economy.
AI and data science jobs now represent an estimated 9% of the national employment market as of mid-2025.
