About Vega Data
A Dubai data and AI company that builds, ships and runs its own systems
Vega Data was founded in 2020 in Dubai Silicon Oasis. We work where data is large, sensitive and in Arabic as well as English: national observatories, market supervision, retail at scale and healthcare.

How we are different
Most of what we build, we also operate. That habit shapes the work: we measure latency and cost on every call, rehearse restores instead of assuming them, and label each published figure by how it was measured. When a number is an estimate, we say so and show the inputs.
We build our own products as well as client platforms. Running Fattuta every night across 41 retailers keeps our engineering accountable for cost, uptime and data quality, and clients get the same standards.
