GCC’s latest frontier for businesses, Saudi Arabia is actively pursuing digital transformation strategies to diversify its economy and be future-ready for global competitiveness. As the primary enabler, the datacentre industry has been receiving the support from numerous national initiatives and organisations, including Vision 2030, the National Transformation Program (NTP) and the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA).
While the datacentre market size is expected to reach $13.5 billion by 2029, it’s also forecasted that by the same year it will reach 855 MW with its IT load capacity. To top it all, the implementation of data sovereignty and data localization measures is directly encouraging the establishment of local datacentres.
On the other hand, with the dawn of a cloud-first policy, public bodies have accelerated the switch from traditional IT systems to cloud-based ones. The proliferation of digital devices, rising IoT demands, adoption of 5G services and increased acceptance of digital business strategies are together propelling the cloud services market that’s expected to reach $8.80 billion by 2029.
To give a direct access to the country’s poised datacentre & cloud market, the 2nd Edition of Datacentre & Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) is coming to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in November 2024 at JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh. The event will attract 350+ datacentre & cloud professionals from 150+ leading public and private enterprises across KSA.
