Huawei has reaffirmed its commitment to Saudi Arabia at LEAP 2026, outlining a clear value proposition to drive industry value through full-stack AI capabilities, establish a sustainable foundation for the Kingdom\u2019s long-term AI development and support Saudi Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saudi Arabia\u2019s ICT market has reached US$53 billion, growing 89.5% since 2017. The digital economy now contributes 16% of GDP, while 5G coverage has reached 86%, positioning the Kingdom to move from a strong digital foundation towards the next stage of AI-driven growth. This transition requires more than AI applications. It calls for full-stack capabilities spanning connectivity, compute, cloud and ecosystem enablement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huawei is advancing its AI-enhanced products, including Agentic RAN, AI OTN and AI WAN, alongside core connectivity technologies such as 5G, routers and DWDM. Investing more than 20% of its annual revenue in R&D, the company has developed in-house capabilities spanning network chips, general-purpose compute chips, AI chips, storage and optical modules. Huawei also continues to foster an open technology ecosystem through platforms such as HarmonyOS, openEuler and GaussDB, along with its large-scale AI infrastructure, which includes the Atlas SuperPoD, supporting up to 8,192 NPUs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By combining connectivity, full-stack compute and AI Cloud, Huawei works with global and local partners to deploy AI applications across key sectors in Saudi Arabia, including government, energy and finance. Its AI-Centric Network features lossless transmission, network autonomy, performance assurance and built-in security. To address compute requirements, Huawei provides large-scale, full-stack proprietary computing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Huawei Cloud operates Class C 3AZ public cloud nodes, the Kingdom\u2019s highest security classification, keeping data within national borders while delivering response times of under 25 ms to support sovereign AI and digital security requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huawei is also strengthening its local ecosystem to support the long-term development of Saudi Arabia\u2019s AI industry. The company works with more than 800 global industry independent software vendors (ISVs), 1,500 local system integrators (SIs) and 300 delivery partners, bringing together technology, industry expertise and local capabilities. Through more than 30 ICT Academies in Saudi Arabia, Huawei supports the development of local talent, with 10,000 ICT professionals trained annually, helping to strengthen the Kingdom\u2019s local innovation and digital skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to build on its full-stack AI capabilities, bring together an open and thriving ecosystem and invest in local talent. By working with Saudi customers and partners, the company aims to move AI from applications to industry value and help the Kingdom advance towards a more intelligent, resilient and prosperous future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
