Our World Class Team

Founded in Helsinki, the arctic tech capital, Oivan has had a continuous presence in Saudi Arabia since 1998.

Driven by the ambitious Vision 2030 goals, the demand for high-quality Digital Engineering and Managed Services in the KSA is booming. Our work building and securely managing high-quality digital services for leading Saudi organizations perfectly aligns with Vision 2030’s goals of building a Vibrant Society, a Thriving Economy, and an Ambitious Nation.
