What is the drive and purpose behind BEYON Connect? We wanted to take a step back and look at the missing pieces in society. Our mission is to create better and more inclusive digital societies for the people and businesses in the MENA region. To do so, we offer digital seamless communication solutions, in which transparency, security and efficiency are key elements. Coming from Northern Europe, we found that a number of society-created infrastructures have large potential here. These infrastructures have
been a driver of building better digital societies for Denmark and the Northern countries, which rank high in terms of eGovernment rankings in the United Nations. Our response was to build a strategy pinpointing the missing elements in order to move up the ranks in comparison to the leading countries. We identified strategic areas focusing on citizen-centered communication, business-oriented communication, providing a digital identity for everyone, and later on utilize these with innovative smart cities integrations.
