Why Oil & Gas Energy Leaders are turning to ZAKAA [AI-Powered Decision Intelligence Platform] for Smarter, Faster Decisions. Key Highlights.
Data. Decisions. Dinner.
Last Wednesday evening in Cairo, around [30 Oil & Gas] executives, energy ministers, and industry leaders gathered not for another routine conference, but because they all shared the same ambitious vision for Energy Intelligence.
The difference between success and failure in the Energy industry often comes down to one thing:
“How fast and clearly can we make data-driven decisions for your organization when the stakes are high?”
This is the purpose of the recent VIP Dinner for Oil & Gas Energy Leaders organized by Diamond Group on July 23, 2025.
The leaders understand that they’re managing oil reserves worth billions. The drilling operations generate massive, valuable data every hour. The refineries produce rich insights daily.
The opportunity? To enable faster, smarter decisions in:
→ Strategic Planning
→ Operational Reporting
→ New Well Investments
→ Optimized Production Targets
→ Workforce Efficiency
→ Intelligent Market Expansion
→ Real-time Forecasting
This shared vision for advancement brought together Egypt’s energy elite, including Mohamed Aborizka, Mohamed Elharty, Islam Tharwat Abdel Halim, Hesham Hashem, Mona Elmessery, and other forward-thinking oil and gas leaders, to the event to achieve operational intelligence.

ZAKAA – Arabic-driven AI-Powered Decision Intelligence Ecosystem.
The evening’s spotlight was on ZAKAA, Diamond Group’s latest innovation, which is changing how executives think about decision-making. But what exactly is ZAKAA?
What is ZAKAA?
ZAKAA (a product of Diamond Group) is an Arabic-driven AI-Powered Decision Intelligence Platform that brings decision intelligence back to leadership to give leaders back. Their Time. Their Power. Their Decisions, says Hatem Elkady. CEO – Diamond Group & ZAKAA.
The ZAKAA platform unifies Predictive AI, Business Intelligence, and Enterprise Performance Management into a single cloud platform. Helping Government, CFOs, CHROs, and Finance Teams to automate financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting to get real-time insights anytime, anywhere to achieve management excellence [5x faster].
ZAKAA is like a digital microscope for your business. Just as a microscope reveals a world unseen, ZAKAA’s [AI-powered advanced analytics] enables organizations to reveal insights and act on them immediately. It’s not just another dashboard—it’s a system that never sleeps, never hesitates, and never relies on outdated information.
The ZAKAA Philosophy is not to sell automation tools. It eliminates hesitation. It exists so that leaders never have to doubt their numbers again. The gap between a question and an answer is no longer measured in weeks, but in moments.
ZAKAA simplifies decision-making by answering four critical questions every leader faces:
- What happened?
- Why did it happen?
- What will happen?
- What should we do next?
The game-changer? It does all this in Arabic, making it the first regional platform that truly understands Middle Eastern business culture and language. ZAKAA replaces uncertainty with clarity, hesitation with action, and complexity with confidence.

The most engaging part of the evening came when industry leaders shared their real challenges:
“How fast and clearly can we make data-driven decisions when stakes are high?”

ZAKAA’s response was simple but powerful: Turn weeks into moments.
