A Strategic Hub for Vision 2030
The inauguration ceremony was attended by key figures including Daniel Dines, Founder and CEO of UiPath, and His Excellency Mohammed Alariefy, Assistant Deputy Minister for Digital Entrepreneurship at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT). The presence of government officials and representatives from major clients like the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) underscores the strategic importance of automation and AI in the nation’s digital transformation journey. The new Riyadh office is set to become a central hub for UiPath’s regional ecosystem of customers and partners, fostering closer collaboration to drive growth and efficiency.
Powering Saudi’s Public and Private Sectors
UiPath’s automation solutions are already deeply integrated within some of the Kingdom’s most prominent organizations. The company’s technology is being deployed by industry giants such as Aramco, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), and the Saudi Ministry of Tourism. These partnerships highlight the tangible impact of automation in delivering measurable outcomes and enhancing operational efficiencies across both government entities and major enterprises.
