This partnership marks a significant investment for us in the Middle East, allowing us to deepen and expand our support for broadcasters, leagues, rightsholders, and producers who need a trusted partner equipped to meet their demands.”
Waleed Isaac, President of NEP Middle East and Asia, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, saying: “We’re thrilled to welcome Seven to the NEP family—our companies are a perfect match. Culturally, we share a strong focus on listening to our customers and shaping our approach to innovation based on their needs. We also understand their need for consistent international delivery with localized expertise. This deal positions us to deliver that seamlessly from day one.”

Joining NEP will add global resources and support for our engineering talent and open up even more business with international clients. We see this as a great fit and an excellent step forward for us, the industry, and the region.”
