RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA \u2013 February 10, 2025 \u2013 <\/strong>Salesforce today announced plans to invest $500 million in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, building on its commitment to innovation and economic growth in the region. The investment also aims to spur workforce development through AI<\/a> skilling and expand Salesforce’s local partner ecosystem to support local businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement, made today at LEAP 2025, follows the company’s Davos pledge to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia with new regional headquarters in Riyadh<\/a>. The increasing adoption of Agentforce<\/a>, Salesforce’s digital labor platform, by businesses in the region underscores the growing demand for AI-driven solutions and reinforces Salesforce’s commitment to this technology in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this expansion, Salesforce will bring Hyperforce<\/a>, its next-generation platform architecture, to Saudi Arabia. Delivered through a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/strong>, Hyperforce in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia enables Salesforce\u2019s global customer base to run workloads locally through a distributed public cloud infrastructure. This expansion also allows local businesses and talent to leverage Salesforce and its most innovative products while ensuring trust by remaining compliant with local regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSalesforce’s investment in the Kingdom is a continuation of our shared commitment to drive AI growth,” said His Excellency Eng. Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communications and Information Technology<\/strong>. “We look forward to seeing Salesforce expand its presence here and welcome the investment in AI that will drive unprecedented innovation and operational efficiency, supporting the realization of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030 goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are entering a new era where autonomous AI agents working with humans are transforming workforces and businesses across the globe,\u201d said Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO, Salesforce.<\/strong> \u201cWith Agentforce, Hyperforce, and our global partner ecosystem, we are empowering Saudi organizations to deliver unprecedented levels of productivity, growth, and customer success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
