stc Group and AWS Collaborate to Accelerate Digital Transformation

stc Group, a leading digital enabler, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's most comprehensive cloud provider, have partnered to accelerate digital transformation in Saudi Arabia.

With this move, stc Group has achieved System Integrator Premier partner status, the highest AWS Partner Tier.

Through the partnership, stc Group's capabilities will be integrated with AWS' cloud infrastructure and generative AI/ML services, like Amazon Bedrock. In the Middle East, this will increase the use of cloud-based workloads and AI-powered innovation in industries like healthcare, finance, sports, education, energy, industry, logistics, and government.

Using AWS's global experience, stc Group will offer innovative solutions to clients in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding Gulf nations. In addition to investigating new growth prospects in accordance with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives, the collaboration seeks to offer cloud and AI solutions that are safe, scalable, and compliant to companies of all sizes.

stc Group and AWS will collaborate to develop comprehensive guidance and services for stc Group customers, allowing for a smooth transition to the AWS cloud and the adoption of generative AI/ML services. As a result, these solutions will advance cloud capabilities in more industries, propelling markets into the growing AI-driven economy with minimal technical complexity.

The strategic collaboration is focused on integrating local content development, advancing sustainability initiatives, and promoting knowledge sharing. Together, the two companies will empower local talent, increase cloud adoption, and shape a more sustainable, knowledge-driven future.

Tanuja Randery, Vice President of AWS Europe, Middle East, and Africa, added, "This strategic collaboration represents a significant step forward in contributing to the achievement of Saudi Vision 2030. It emphasizes technology's transformative role in advancing key sectors such as healthcare, finance, sports, education, energy, and manufacturing and logistics. Through this long-term partnership, AWS and stc Group will equip various organizations with cutting-edge solutions, ensuring Saudi talent is prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing digital economy."

The AWS and stc Group have announced a collaboration as cloud adoption and massive AI advancements continue to transform Saudi Arabia's digital economy.  According to PwC, AI will contribute $130 billion to the Saudi economy by 2030, while IDC predicts that the value of public cloud services will be just under $4 billion in 2027, growing at a 23 percent annual rate over the next two years.
