SAP announced that it is increasing its investment in Saudi Arabia to enable further co-innovation with new and existing customers and partners.

Haitham AlOhali, said, “As Saudi Arabia increasingly diversifies its economy and strategically deploys technology to transform key industries, it is vital that organisations such as SAP invest further in their operations and training across the Kingdom. The Ministry is collaborating with SAP to support the creation of a digital-centric workforce enabled by training programs such as the SAP Academy of Engineering. We encourage a collaborative approach to leveraging new technologies for the benefit of all organisations and individuals. One example of how this can be achieved is through the new Innovation Hub, where SAP will work with partners and customers to solve challenges facing companies today, while also creating new best practices across diverse industries.”

Ahmed AlFaifi, SVP & MD, Middle East Africa-North, SAP, said, “We are committed to supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s role in championing regional digital transformation and harnessing new technologies in a responsible way to benefit the region. Our investment in the SAP Experience Center and Innovation Hub as well as the SAP Academy of Engineering is part of our four-pronged strategy to support the rapid development of the Kingdom’s digital market, alongside accelerating new technology adoption and establishing a robust partner ecosystem.”

As a part of its investment, SAP has launched a first-of-its-kind regional SAP Innovation Hub in the Kingdom and will also open an SAP Experience Centre in Khobar. Additionally, SAP is extending its elite program for training in advanced technology skills, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), until at least 2025.
