The 2025 GITEX Global was inaugurated at the Dubai World Trade Centre in the United Arab Emirates. Beijing Keen Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "KeenData") officially launched KeenData Lakehouse 2.0, a next-generation AI-native intelligent data infrastructure, in the Middle East region. The company comprehensively demonstrated its pioneering achievements in the integrated "Data & AI" architecture, delivering a "Haidian Solution" to empower the region's digital infrastructure development and intelligent transformation.
Centered on the "AI-in-Lakehouse intelligent-driven architecture," the newly unveiled KeenData Lakehouse 2.0 realizes a full-lifecycle closed loop spanning data collection, governance, AI training, inference, Agent development, and intelligent application deployment. It establishes a true All-in-One integrated platform for data and AI convergence. Notably, the platform is equipped with a built-in multimodal computing engine, supporting end-to-end processing—from data cleaning and feature extraction to inference and analysis—for diverse data types including text, images, audio, and video within a unified workflow. Leveraging KeenData's self-developed KMI inference acceleration technology and model quantization technology, the solution achieves a several-fold increase in GPU inference throughput and a 70% reduction in storage overhead. This effectively addresses the real-time processing demands for multi-source heterogeneous data in high-growth Middle Eastern sectors such as smart cities, cross-border e-commerce, and energy management.
A technical director from a Dubai smart city project conducted multiple in-depth consultations at KeenData's booth. He commented: "KeenData's 'native integration of data and AI' concept is highly forward-looking. Its visual Agent factory and hundreds of pre-trained models enable us to rapidly fine-tune models and construct intelligent applications in a low-code environment. For the Middle Eastern market, which is in a phase of accelerated digitalization, this not only lowers the threshold for AI adoption but also provides a one-stop methodology covering data governance to AI implementation."
Yu Yang, Founder and CEO of KeenData, stated: "Our global expansion objective is not only to elevate KeenData to the international stage but also to share China's proven expertise in the Data & AI domain with the world—particularly in the Middle East, where the digital economy is experiencing robust growth." He emphasized that regional development initiatives such as Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" and the UAE's "We the UAE 2031" are driving substantial demand for intelligent data infrastructure across sectors including energy, finance, and digital government. KeenData's products have been fully validated in high-concurrency, multimodal, and cross-regional scenarios, possessing the technical capabilities and implementation experience required for seamless replication in the Middle Eastern market.
To further integrate into the local ecosystem, KeenData has joined the "2025 Zhongguancun Science City UAE Innovation Acceleration Camp" initiated by Zhongguancun Science City. Bai Rubing, Director of Overseas Marketing at KeenData, noted: "With its systematic service model of 'impactful demonstration, effective collaboration, and sustainable localization,' Zhongguancun Science City provides technology-driven overseas enterprises like us with targeted exhibition platforms, high-level government and enterprise docking channels, and localized operational support. This effectively addresses compliance challenges and resource misalignment issues that enterprises may face when operating independently, enabling us to quickly identify market opportunities and achieve the critical transition from 'participation in exhibitions' to 'successful market landing.'"
Currently, KeenData has established customer networks and business partnerships across multiple countries worldwide, including Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and South Africa. The establishment of an overseas subsidiary in Saudi Arabia marks the advancement of its global strategy into a phase of regional deep cultivation. Looking ahead, KeenData will take the Middle East as a hub to further expand technology export and ecological cooperation with countries along the route, transforming China's leading data intelligence practices into "new infrastructure" for the digitalization journey of global enterprises.
