Dubai, UAE — August 25, 2026 — Utopia Global Ventures (UGV), the Dubai-based holding group behind a growing portfolio of technology, retail, healthcare, and media companies, today announced the acquisition of Segmic Engineering Trading, a UAE specialist in industrial automation solutions and engineering services. With this acquisition, Segmic Engineering officially becomes part of the Utopia Global Ventures group.
The move marks Utopia’s formal entry into engineering, machine building, and process automation — a sector the group has identified as a strategic pillar of its long-term vision, alongside artificial intelligence, healthcare, and research & development.
A Natural Extension of Utopia’s Vision
Utopia Global Ventures was built on a simple thesis: unite bold ideas across industries and turn them into lasting, futureproof companies. Its portfolio already spans AI and multi-agent systems (Analytica), retail and re-commerce (The Bazaar), media and brand solutions (CirclePR), fintech (Cashe), and healthcare (VisionHR, VisionJV). Engineering and automation has long featured in the group’s stated vision — and Segmic makes it real.
Segmic Engineering Trading was established with a focused mission: to deliver specialized, professional engineering solutions and automation products for buildings, manufacturing, oil & gas, food & beverage, and healthcare. Today, the company operates across four core service lines:
- Industrial Engineering — optimizing processes and systems to enhance efficiency, productivity, and profitability
- Machine Engineering — designing and building advanced machinery solutions for maximum performance and operational excellence
- Software Engineering — developing tailored software that streamlines operations, from control systems to SCADA and beyond
- Maintenance — comprehensive lifecycle support that keeps critical assets running and extends their operational lifespan
Segmic serves ten industry verticals across the region, including building technologies, oil & gas, process industry, energy, utilities, infrastructure, roads & transportation, data centers & IT, healthcare, and warehouse automation. The company holds DALI and KNX certifications and works with the world’s leading automation brands — including Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Mitsubishi Electric, GE Vernova, Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley), Emerson, Danfoss, Festo, Omron, SICK, Yaskawa, and B&R Industrial Automation.
Where Engineering Meets Intelligence
The strategic logic behind the acquisition goes beyond portfolio expansion. Utopia Global Ventures sees a convergence between two of its strongest capabilities: deep industrial engineering expertise and applied artificial intelligence.
Through its sister company Analytica, the group already builds AI workflow systems, multi-agent platforms, and data engineering solutions for enterprises. Bringing Segmic into the group creates a rare combination in the region: a team that can design and commission the physical layer — machines, control systems, panels, and process lines — and a team that can make that layer intelligent, connected, and self-optimizing.
For clients, this means a single group capable of delivering end-to-end industrial transformation: from mechanical and electrical design, through PLC programming and systems integration, to AI-driven monitoring, predictive maintenance, and autonomous process optimization.
“Automation is entering a new era. The factories, utilities, and infrastructure of the next decade won’t just be automated — they’ll be intelligent. Segmic gives us world-class engineering execution on the ground, and combined with our AI capabilities across the group, we can now offer something few others in the region can: the full stack, from the machine to the model.”
— Hafez AlSayed, Founder & CEO, Utopia Global Ventures
What Changes — and What Doesn’t
Segmic Engineering will continue to operate under its own brand, with its existing team, partnerships, and client commitments fully intact. Customers can expect the same engineering rigor and responsiveness they know — now backed by the resources, technology capabilities, and cross-industry network of the Utopia group.
Over the coming months, the group will begin integrating shared capabilities across the portfolio, with a particular focus on:
- AI-enabled automation offerings, combining Segmic’s systems integration expertise with Analytica’s intelligent workflow platforms
- Expanded regional coverage across the GCC, leveraging the group’s presence and partnerships
- Investment in machine building capacity, deepening Segmic’s ability to design and deliver custom machinery for manufacturing and process industries
- Talent development, including engineering internships and training programs aligned with the group’s Utopia Lab founder and talent initiatives
