Digital transformation has entered a new phase. Organisations today are no longer struggling to collect data, but they are seeking ways to connect it, contextualise it and transform it into actionable intelligence.
This is the challenge Octave is addressing as it returns to LEAP 2026.
Earlier this year, Octave launched as an independent company following its spin-off from Hexagon. While the name is new, the expertise behind it is anything but. Built on decades of innovation and trusted by many of the world’s leading industrial organizations, Octave continues the legacy of Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence business while bringing together an expanded portfolio of industrial, engineering and geospatial technologies under one unified vision.
The result is a software company purpose-built to help organisations simplify complexity across the entire asset lifecycle, from design and construction to operations and the protection of critical infrastructure.
Across the Middle East, governments and enterprises are accelerating investments in AI, digital twins, smart infrastructure and industrial modernisation as part of ambitious national transformation programmes. Yet one challenge remains consistent: valuable data is often trapped across disconnected systems, limiting visibility and slowing decision-making.
True digital transformation is not achieved by adding more technology. It comes from connecting existing technologies to create a trusted digital foundation that enables organisations to make better decisions with confidence.
At LEAP 2026, Octave will demonstrate how by creating a continuous flow of trusted information across the asset lifecycle, organisations can improve operational resilience, optimise investment decisions, reduce risk and respond faster to changing business conditions.
Rather than treating AI as a standalone capability, Octave believes its true value lies in enriching trusted operational data with intelligence that is contextual, explainable, and actionable. This enables organisations not only to predict and analyse, but to make faster, more informed decisions at enterprise scale.
“Our heritage gives us a unique perspective on the challenges industrial organisations face”, says Joseph El Bitar, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Middle East, Türkiye & Africa at Octave. “As Octave, we are building a strong foundation established within Hexagon while sharpening our focus on helping customers connect information across their operations and unlock intelligence at scale. Technology has evolved, but our commitment to our customers remains exactly the same”.
LEAP has become one of the region’s most influential technology events, bringing together innovators, policymakers and industry leaders who are shaping the future of digital economies. For Octave, it provides the ideal platform to engage with organisations looking to move beyond isolated digital initiatives towards connected, enterprise-wide transformation.
As industries continue to navigate increasing operational complexity, economic pressures, and evolving sustainability objectives, the ability to connect data across the entire lifecycle will become a defining competitive advantage.
Visitors attending LEAP 2026 are invited to meet the Octave team to discover how connected intelligence can help their organisations design smarter, build faster, operate more efficiently, and protect what matters most.
