Saudi Aramco Signs MoU with Microsoft to Advance AI in Industrial Sector and Transform Digital Capabilities

Saudi Aramco and Microsoft signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore a range of digital initiatives aimed at accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial sector, enhancing digital capabilities, and supporting the development of the Kingdom’s workforce.

 These initiatives, supported by Microsoft, aim to enable Saudi Aramco’s large-scale digital transformation.

 As part of its long-standing collaboration with Microsoft, Saudi Aramco plans to explore a suite of AI-enabled industrial solutions based on Microsoft Azure technologies to improve operational efficiency, enhance global competitiveness, and develop new models for technology-enabled energy and industrial systems.

 In addition, Saudi Aramco and Microsoft are exploring programs to accelerate the development of digital and technical skills across the Kingdom, including building capabilities in AI engineering, cybersecurity, data governance, and product management, supported by measurable outcomes.

 These efforts build on Microsoft’s existing national impact, which includes training thousands of Saudi learners in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data-related programs.
