Altegio Expands To UAE, Driving Digital Transformation For Local Businesses
The company aims to enhance efficiency for local service businesses, aligning with the UAE’s ambitious digital economy plan for 2031.
Altegio, a digital business ecosystem featuring sophisticated online booking and management solutions, has announced its entry into the UAE market, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate digital adoption for local enterprises.
This expansion also complements the UAE’s Digital Economy Strategy, which aims to increase the digital economy’s share in the nation’s non-oil GDP to over 20% by 2031. Projections indicate the UAE’s digital sector could contribute an estimated $140 billion by 2032, highlighting the region’s commitment to fostering a modern, tech-driven economy.
Altegio’s platform offers over 30 distinct management tools that automate as much as 80% of routine business operations. Its suite of services includes online booking options, a customizable mobile app, robust financial and inventory management, analytics, SMS and email marketing, and a customer loyalty program.
Altegio’s key differentiator lies in its customer-focused approach to business automation. Unlike many platforms that redirect customers to external sites, potentially exposing them to competitor services, Altegio’s booking system is embedded directly within each company’s own ecosystem. This prevents “cannibalization” of clients and enhances customer loyalty by maintaining a consistent, secure experience.

By providing a comprehensive suite of business automation tools, we aim to not only accelerate operational efficiency but also redefine how businesses engage with customers”.
Founded in 2022, Altegio operates as a network of independent firms with offices in the UAE, Brazil, Hungary, Cyprus, Armenia, and several other nations. Each regional hub integrates local partners and technologies to enhance Altegio’s core offerings. The company’s impact includes an annual gross merchandise volume (GMV) of $1 billion, a client base of over 10,000 across 89 countries, and more than 4 million bookings each month on its platform.
