Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Huawei announced it has signed a strategic partnership with GAPP to expand cloud and artificial intelligence services across Saudi Arabia, supporting the kingdom’s accelerating digital transformation agenda under Vision 2030.

Under the agreement, GAPP will serve as Huawei Cloud’s official cloud solutions distributor in Saudi Arabia, enabling local enterprises and secondary distributors to access Huawei’s cloud infrastructure, AI tools, and disaster recovery services through a locally compliant operating framework, according to the company’s press release.

Commenting on this, Hugo Hu, CEO of Huawei Cloud Saudi Arabia, said the collaboration would help GAPP and local resellers tap into growing opportunities in cloud and AI while building long-term enterprise and government partnerships.

For his part, Ahmed Alazmah, COO of GAPP, said the company aims to deliver compliant and easily scalable AI and cloud technologies to Saudi businesses through the partnership.
