We will not only help our MEA customers adopt the Cloud, but also support them to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).” He continued, "Bespin Global MEA will provide end-to-end cloud services to accelerate the region’s digital transformation.”

Speaking about the relationship, Mr. Mouteih Chaghlil, Founder of Falcon 9 added “Falcon 9 and Bespin Global share the same DNA, and aligning our cultures and inspirations accelerates our global growth. Falcon 9’s local market presence and Bespin Global’s worldwide resources will create synergies to match the region’s growing technology demand.” He continued, “The new company focus will be to enable customers on their journeys to building data-driven organizations through the Cloud, DevOps, Big Data and AI technologies.”
