Saudi Businesses Set to Embrace AI at Dell Technologies Forum

The Dell Technologies Forum Saudi Arabia is set to return on 31 October 2024, hosted at the Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences. This highly anticipated annual event gathers industry leaders, technology experts, and business innovators to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on innovation across Saudi Arabia. 

Dell’s recent Innovation Catalyst study reveals that an impressive 91% of organizations in the Kingdom have established a clear AI strategy, positioning them competitively to leverage innovation through AI. However, nearly 78% of respondents identified key challenges such as talent shortages, cybersecurity concerns, and budget constraints as significant barriers to driving innovation. 

Participants at this year’s Forum will delve into the latest advancements in AI and discover how organizations worldwide are utilizing these technologies for transformational change. The full-day event presents a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse community of technologists, industry experts, solution architects, and engineers who will share insights into how AI is propelling business and technology innovation. 

This Forum also marks a significant milestone as Dell Technologies celebrates 20 years of operations in Saudi Arabia. As a trusted technology advisor, Dell collaborates closely with public and private sector entities to spearhead digital transformation in the Kingdom. Earlier this year, Dell, alongside Aramco and the National IT Academy, signed an agreement aimed at empowering local talent with advanced science and technology skills. This agreement encompasses training programs and certifications to cultivate a skilled and readily employable technology talent pool in the Kingdom. 

Mohamed Talaat, Vice President for Saudi Arabia and Egypt at Dell Technologies, stated, “With our strong foundation in the Kingdom over the last 20 years, Dell is committed to empowering organizations in Saudi Arabia to realize their digital potential, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030. Our annual Forum serves as a vital platform for collaboration, where we explore new horizons and opportunities alongside our customers and partners. This year, we’re excited to showcase the latest advancements in AI and its crucial role in shaping Saudi Arabia’s digital economy of the future.”
