Saudi Arabia boosts tech ties with China
Saudi Arabia is striving to enhance its position as a leading destination for modern technologies by expanding its investments and partnerships with global tech companies, especially Chinese firms, in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, and technological manufacturing. The kingdom is focused on building a local tech ecosystem in line with Saudi Vision 2030. For instance, WeRide has announced plans to expand autonomous vehicle services in Riyadh to approximately 10,000 robotaxi vehicles. Additionally, HUMAIN has launched an Arabic AI model after training it on more than a trillion units of Arabic content. Furthermore, Tencent Cloud has obtained a license to operate in Saudi Arabia, and Lenovo is preparing to begin producing devices in Riyadh by the end of 2026. These efforts are part of initiatives to localize tech industries and transfer knowledge, while ongoing collaborations with other global companies continue to solidify Riyadh's position as an regional and international hub for AI and digital infrastructure.
