GO Telecom (Etihad Atheeb) has officially launched the GO AI Hub, a unified platform for AI solutions, alongside the GO AI Hub Silicon Valley Center in the United States. This strategic initiative aims to connect the global innovation ecosystem in Silicon Valley with Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing market, supporting the Kingdom’s ambitious digital transformation under Saudi Vision 2030 and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology’s plans.
The launch event took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, California, attended by GO Telecom executives, AI companies, technology partners, investors, and industry stakeholders. The gathering fostered opportunities for collaboration and knowledge transfer between both markets.
This dual initiative provides startups and AI solution providers with direct access to both public and private sector entities in Saudi Arabia, paving the way for strategic partnerships, investment opportunities, and tailored innovative solutions in key sectors such as healthcare, education, security, and smart services.
Yahya bin Saleh Al-Mansour, CEO of GO Telecom, stated: “The simultaneous launch of the GO AI Hub in Silicon Valley and the unified AI solutions marketplace represents a milestone in our journey toward leadership in this field. We are building a true bridge between the global innovation ecosystem and Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation ambitions, creating the perfect environment for collaboration, growth, and technical excellence.”
He added: “The platform offers innovators a direct channel to engage with government entities and major corporations seeking the latest AI solutions, facilitating knowledge exchange, protecting intellectual property, and driving sustainable innovation within the Kingdom.”
The GO AI Hub features advanced AI-driven mechanisms for vendor registration and discovery of intelligent solutions tailored to the needs of government agencies, streamlining access to top technology providers.
Saudi Arabia’s AI market is experiencing exceptional growth, valued at USD 6.8 billion and projected to expand at an annual rate exceeding 43% through 2030 — one of the fastest growth rates globally, fueled by ambitious government policies and significant investments in digital infrastructure.
GO Telecom, through its subsidiary Ejada Technology, reaffirms its commitment to embracing cutting-edge global technologies in telecommunications and digital transformation, continuing to roll out initiatives that align with Vision 2030 goals by investing in innovation, adopting advanced technical solutions, and strengthening strategic partnerships to build a prosperous digital future for the Kingdom.
