For almost a decade, GNX, the leading global provider of Internet and private connectivity solutions, has been supporting MEA-based companies with their regional and international connectivity. Establishing a direct presence in the region will enable GNX to drive faster growth, closer partnerships, and more tailored support for its growing customer base.
Amsterdam, 24 April 2025.- GNX, the leading provider of global Internet and private connectivity services, has announced its expansion to the Middle East with a new office in Dubai, UAE. With this move, the company will step up its brand and presence in the region with a local team of experts to better address the specific connectivity requirements of MEA-based enterprises, MSPs, and data center providers as the region experiences unprecedented growth and innovation. Jan Willem Meijer, one of GNX’s shareholders and a member of the Advisory Board, is spearheading the buildout of GNX in the Middle East.
“Having lived in Dubai for many years, I’ve built and nurtured a strong personal network which I’ve continued to develop from the Netherlands,” explains Meijer. “This important step is a commitment to them, our customers and partners, as much as an opportunity to expand and build new long-lasting local partnerships.”
Local know-how for the modern global enterprise
The Middle East has emerged as a hub of innovation and a thriving destination for international businesses. At the same time, it presents unique challenges in the telecom space: from navigating local regulations to dealing with varying infrastructure standards.
“But connectivity in the Middle East doesn’t need to be complicated. Our goal is to help global enterprises navigate the unique challenges of the region,” says Meijer. “GNX is an authority when it comes to the design and delivery of complex and large connectivity projects. Our network team consists of multiple CCIE-level experts who truly understand the requirements of global enterprises, especially in more challenging and regulated regions.”
GNX has extensive global, regional, and local partnerships to provide customers with internet access in 190+ countries while also offering latency- (ULL) and cost-optimized private connectivity from the UAE and other MEA countries to anywhere in the world.
“Our private Ethernet services offer reliable, dedicated connectivity from anywhere in the Middle East to sites, data centers, or public clouds worldwide,” says Rutger Bevaart, CEO of GNX. “These solutions are designed to provide customers with high bandwidth, resilient connectivity, flexibility, and quality of service in a cost-effective and compliant manner.”
