As the Kingdom accelerates its digital economy initiatives, Cloudera, the only true hybrid platform for data, analytics and AI, is set to spotlight cutting-edge solutions tailored for key sectors, including government, telecommunications, banking, energy, and smart cities at LEAP 2025. These advancements aim to drive increased adoption of AI, data governance, and scalable cloud technologies, directly supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation.
The Middle East’s cloud market, especially in Saudi Arabia, is experiencing rapid growth. The public cloud market is projected to reach $2.82 billion by 2025, with a 16.54% annual growth rate from 2025 to 2029, potentially expanding to $5.19 billion by the end of the period. This expansion is driven by Saudi Arabia’s commitment to digital transformation and its vision of a data-driven economy.
As part of the government’s cloud-first policy, major investments are being made in AI. The Saudi government’s most recent submission to the UN for the E-Government Development Index (EDGI) reveals significant investment in digital transformation, with AI serving as a crucial pillar of its technological accomplishments.
Ahmad Issa, Regional Vice President Cloudera Middle East, says, “We are committed to helping organizations across various sectors to unlock the full potential of their data while ensuring security, scalability, and compliance. LEAP 2025 offers a good opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment and accountability within the industry.
”As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transition to a knowledge-based economy, we are keen to contribute to its ambition with our true hybrid platform, which nurtures innovation while effectively addressing ethical and security concerns.”
