SOLVING THE GULF'S BIGGEST BUSINESS CHALLENGES WITH AI

A conversation with Atif Azim, VentureDive's CEO

- 

VentureDive has evolved from a software development firm into a leading data and AI solutions provider. What inspired this transformation, and how has it reshaped your business strategy?

VentureDive's transformation from a traditional software development firm to a leading provider of data and AI solutions was a deliberate and thoughtful shift. As client needs evolved and data and AI took centre stage across industries, we recognised the opportunity to deepen our focus.

We've always adapted to where the industry was heading, which made acquiring a specialised data and AI firm a natural next step. This move formalised what was already core to our work, leading to our rebrand as a data and AI solutions company, with continued strength in broader technology services.

Today, we're embedding intelligence into enterprise workflows and investing in expanding our offerings, and upskilling teams in advanced data science, machine learning to meet the growing demand for intelligent, outcome-driven systems. This shift has reinforced our role as trusted advisors, helping clients navigate complexity, uncover insights, and move faster with confidence.

With the UAE and KSA identified as key markets, what unique opportunities do you see in the GCC region for AI-driven technologies, and how is VentureDive tailoring its offerings to meet these demands?
