Global tech consultancy Stefanini Group and capital markets specialist SkySparc are making strategic moves to expand their international footprints, underscoring the growing importance of AI and fintech-driven solutions across Europe and the Middle East.

Stefanini is ramping up its presence in France through a dual approach of AI-driven organic growth and targeted acquisitions. CEO Marco Stefanini, speaking at the LIDE Brazil–France Forum in Paris, highlighted the country’s central role in global digital transformation. “France is a crucial hub for the next wave of global digital transformation. Our increased investment here reinforces our AI-First methodology for French enterprises,” he said. His visit will culminate with a private meeting with President Emmanuel Macron to discuss technology’s role in driving economic growth.

Meanwhile, SkySparc has opened a new Dubai office as part of its Middle East expansion strategy. The hub provides local access to clients and enhances visibility in regional markets, especially in capital markets, treasury, and financial institutions. The move follows the acquisition of Inovotek Solutions and reinforces SkySparc’s approach of independent, vendor-agnostic consultancy combined with its proprietary OmniFi platform. OmniFi leverages automation, testing, and AI-driven data integration to optimize trading operations and treasury functions.

“Establishing our presence in Dubai is a natural progression in SkySparc’s growth strategy,” said CEO Joakim Wiener. Karim Yahia, Managing Director UK & AME, added, “Having this foundation makes all the difference in establishing trusted, long-term partnerships.”

These expansions reflect a broader trend of global tech and fintech firms embedding advanced AI and digital solutions into local markets. Stefanini and SkySparc are leveraging tailored strategies—one targeting enterprise digital transformation in France, the other focusing on capital markets innovation in the Middle East—to drive growth and deepen client relationships.
