- Sales office opened in Dubai Media City
- Mark Barkey takes over management – over 25 years of sales experience in the region’s broadcast, OTT, and telecommunications market
Diepholz / Dubai, December 1, 2025: The Middle East is an important growth market for artec technologies AG. For many years, government institutions and private companies in the region have been choosing artec’s modern media & broadcast recording and analysis systems. In order to better exploit local market opportunities, the company opened a sales office in Dubai Media City on December 1, 2025. From there, it aims to strengthen its presence in the Middle East, expand its network, and win new customers. Mark Barkey, an industry expert with over 25 years of sales experience in the broadcast, OTT, and telecommunications market, will take over as head of the office.
“The Middle East is a key growth market for our XENTAURIX Media & Broadcast Logging Solutions and MULTIEYE video security technologies,” says Thomas Hoffmann, CEO of artec technologies AG. “With Mark Barkey, we are gaining an experienced expert for the region. He will enable us to offer our customers 24/7 service and take support to a new level – from shorter response times to more comprehensive technical service.”
In September, artec technologies was awarded another prestigious project from the Middle East: a leading news agency in the Gulf region commissioned the company to develop a news app with an integrated streaming media platform. The core feature is voice control, which facilitates access to international and foreign-language news. The solution is based on artec’s AI-supported XENTAURIX software and hardware solutions.
