Savvy Games Group has signed a corporate collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to foster the growth of games technology infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and empower local games companies, startups, and developers. The partnership is aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the National Gaming and Esports Strategy.
Key Highlights
The collaboration will provide crucial resources to the Saudi gaming ecosystem through two key AWS programs:
- AWS Skill Builder: Offers digital courses and learning plans to build in-demand cloud and AI skills for individual game developers and professionals in Saudi Arabia.
- AWS Activate: Provides eligible gaming startups in Saudi Arabia with resources, benefits, and exclusive offers to help turn their ideas into successful businesses.
A Two-Pronged Approach to Ecosystem Growth

Through AWS Skill Builder, developers and professionals can access training to enhance their cloud and AI skills. Simultaneously, AWS Activate will provide a critical boost to eligible gaming startups, offering them the resources and benefits needed to scale their operations. Savvy will support domestic companies and professionals in applying to and participating in these AWS programs.
