HUAWEI CLOUD, the world’s fastest-growing cloud services provider, has attracted 2.6 million developers, 28,000 consulting partners, 9,000 technical partners, and released 6,100 Marketplace products in the five years since its launch. HUAWEI CLOUD provides more than 220 cloud services, 210 solutions, 19 data centers, over 200 local partners, and a growing list of more than 80 marketplace offerings in the Middle East.
Salim Muthib Al-Ozainah, Chairman and CEO of CITRA said, “Digitization is integral to the realization of our national goals as part of Vision 2035 to help develop a sustainable and diversified economy. The launch of HUAWEI CLOUD services will help Kuwait’s public and private organizations go digital while attracting new foreign investments into the country. We will continue to support technology firms’ entry into Kuwait that can add new value to our economy with innovative ideas and solutions.”
Rico Lin, CEO of Huawei Kuwait, said, “The demand for digital services among Kuwait’s enterprises continues to rise. HUAWEI CLOUD services in Kuwait will ensure these enterprises will have access to world-leading cloud services to help them drive their business and services further and keep innovating as per customers’ needs and ambitions.

HUAWEI CLOUD is constructing the Cloud Foundation for an Intelligent World where Everything as a Service is available. HUAWEI CLOUD’s approach is all digital, all cloud, all AI-driven, and all as a service. Huawei’s Everything As Service offerings translate the company’s more than 30 years of ICT know-how into a wide range of cloud services, including Infrastructure as a Service, Technology as a Service, and Expertise as a Service. These services aim to make AI computing power as widely available as water and electricity.
Huawei will continue to innovate in foundational technologies, platforms, and talent to that end. We are also working to make AI more affordable, accessible, and available, as well as to foster a new, thriving AI ecosystem.
Huawei recently announced plans to host two cloud regions in the Middle East, increasing the ability of local businesses and governments to access more robust and secure cloud services from Huawei.
