Code 81 announced its official launch in the UAE, ushering in a new era of transformative digital solutions and services. The spin-off entity operates autonomously within the technology cluster of Ghobash Group – a progressive and diversified UAE business conglomerate. This move aligns seamlessly with the Group's strategic priority of becoming a value-added services and solutions provider across all of its verticals and establishing itself as a key partner to its clients.

Code 81’s deep-rooted association with Ghobash Group’s technology cluster ensures that the Company benefits from not only the Group’s unrivalled resilience and resourcefulness, but also the rich legacy of its market-leading sister company, CNS Middle East, which has served as a pioneering entity within the IT industry for over 3 decades.  The Code 81 team, during their tenure at CNS, has accumulated a wealth of collective experience and managed significant accounts, undertaking transformative projects that have set a solid foundation for their future endeavors.

Together with our clients and partners, Code 81 will dedicate itself to deploying technology which answers to the needs of tomorrow’s world.” This dedication underpins Code 81's mission: “Coding a better future by building the best in-class digital transformation products and solutions, we are dedicated to enriching people’s lives and helping businesses thrive”.

Bringing together a regional and global network of best-of-breed strategic technology principals and partners, Code 81 will leverage the power of global insights, relationships, collaboration and learning to deliver the next generation of Data Analytics, AI & ML, Low Code Application Development, Automation and Cloud technology.
