Saudi Arabia continues to accelerate its transformation into a global data and artificial intelligence (AI) hub as the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with 14 public and private universities during the International Conference on Data and AI Capacity Building (ICAN 2026).
The agreements aim to expand national partnerships and build advanced human capabilities in data and AI, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s growing digital economy. Through these MoUs, SDAIA and leading universities will collaborate on specialized education, training programs, and applied research, ensuring Saudi students and professionals are equipped with competitive, future-ready AI skills.
ICAN 2026 also witnessed a strategic agreement between SDAIA and HUMAIN, focused on driving AI innovation, accelerating AI adoption, and expanding AI solutions into global markets. This partnership is expected to support scalable AI deployment, strengthen innovation ecosystems, and enhance Saudi Arabia’s position as a regional leader in artificial intelligence and data governance.
For investors, ICAN 2026 signals strong government backing, regulatory clarity, and talent readiness in Saudi Arabia’s AI and data sectors. With universities, regulators, and innovation enablers working together, the Kingdom offers a stable and forward-looking environment for AI startups, data-driven enterprises, and international technology firms.
