Alfalak can now bid on government projects covering general contracting, information technology and electronic security systems, and telecommunications.

Increased expenditures on ICT products and services in key Arab markets such as Saudi Arabia have enabled Alfalak to achieve sustained growth. Total ICT investments in the Kingdom alone are expected to reach SR50 billion ($13.3 billion) by 2015, a statement said.

To support its growth plans, Alfalak will invest into its ongoing expansion programme across the GCC region as well as in other high-growth markets.
