What Horizon Scope Ventures Ltd. does

Horizon Scope Technologies operates as the ICT and digital infrastructure division of Zain Iraq, delivering connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, data center, BPO, IoT, and smart infrastructure solutions to enterprises, government entities, and critical industries across Iraq. The company is headquartered in Baghdad with a regional office in Basra, and serves a primary customer base spanning Oil & Gas, banking, government, and telecommunications, alongside a long tail of SOHO and SME clients.

The technology platform is built on 250+ Points of Presence across Iraq with international connectivity through Zain Group's telecom backbone. Core connectivity products include Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), MPLS, SD-WAN, Private LTE, and DDoS-protected connectivity.

The portfolio also extends to BPO/CCaaS, IoT-based remote monitoring, smart infrastructure (CCTV, access control, building automation), and AI/computer-vision-powered drone and robotics platforms for industrial inspections.

Horizon generates revenue primarily through managed services and subscription contracts, with quote-based, tailored pricing across all solutions. GTM is direct enterprise and government field sales, supported by a dedicated Pre-Sales team, PMO, NOC, SOC, and a Commercial Pricing Engineering function. The 2025–2026 period has been characterized by an aggressive partnership expansion with SAP, Dell, AUSTRIACARD, Genesys, Comba Telecom, and Tenable (Platinum tier), and the company recently secured its first disclosed digital banking client (Sama Al Hayat Digital Bank). No external funding rounds are disclosed; Horizon is wholly owned via Zain Iraq as part of Zain Group.
