The agreement was signed on behalf of the NDF by chief operating officer Sara Nugali and on behalf of Google Cloud by general manager Bader AlMadi.
The agreement aims to strengthen the strategic collaboration between both parties and expand the use of Google Cloud’s capabilities in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, and advanced digital services.
According to the statement, this aligns with the NDF’s digital transformation objectives and contributes to supporting the Kingdom’s sustainable development journey in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
