Technological innovation is rapidly transforming the global digital economy, and Saudi Arabia is actively participating in this shift. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 is a strategic framework guiding its economic transformation and technological growth. Notably, Saudi Arabia ranks fourth in the 2024 United Nations E-Government Development Index, and it leads the Arab world in the Global AI Index, reflecting its swift adoption of AI and growing influence in the tech sector.
HP sees itself as a crucial partner in Saudi Arabia’s technological journey, investing in local manufacturing, AI, and talent development to drive sustainable growth. A new manufacturing facility in Riyadh, part of HP’s “Made in Saudi” initiative, marks a significant step in strengthening the country’s tech infrastructure and enhancing the supply chain. This facility will support regional and global distribution, creating thousands of jobs by 2027 and contributing to the Kingdom’s economic diversification goals.
HP is also focused on advancing AI leadership in Saudi Arabia. The new AI and R&D Centre of Excellence in Dhahran will foster innovation and support Saudi companies in optimizing operations and decision-making. By equipping the workforce with AI skills, HP aligns with Vision 2030’s aim to diversify the economy. The Centre will drive research, facilitate training, and empower local talent to remain competitive.
AI is poised to transform the future of work, and HP is committed to helping businesses leverage its potential. The HP EliteBook Ultra, an AI-powered PC, is designed to enhance productivity and collaboration, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s environmental goals. HP’s vision extends beyond technology provision; it aims to be a trusted partner in Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation, supporting AI-driven industries and economic growth.
As Saudi Arabia progresses towards becoming a leader in AI and technology, HP is proud to contribute to this journey.
