Saudi AI company, HUMAIN and Qualcomm Technologies have announced a collaboration to deploy advanced AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The initiative claims to introduce the world’s first fully optimised edge-to-cloud hybrid AI system. The project seeks to make Saudi Arabia a global centre for AI.
Under the plan, HUMAIN will deploy 200 megawatts of Qualcomm’s latest AI200 and AI250 rack solutions starting in 2026. These systems will deliver AI inferencing services within the country and internationally.
Tareq Amin, CEO at HUMAIN, said, “Together, we will enable Saudi Arabia to lead the next wave of global AI and semiconductor innovation.”
The partnership will enable enterprises and government bodies to use AI at scale with improved performance and reduced total cost of ownership. The collaboration also combines HUMAIN’s infrastructure and AI expertise with Qualcomm’s semiconductor innovation.
It aims to provide a model for nations developing full-scale AI capabilities, from data centre operations to commercial AI services.
Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm, added, “By establishing advanced AI data centres powered by Qualcomm’s inference solutions, we are helping the Kingdom create a technology ecosystem that will accelerate its AI ambitions.”
The project will integrate HUMAIN’s Saudi-developed ALLaM models with Qualcomm’s AI platforms to deliver sector-specific solutions. This will serve both private and public entities and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position in the global AI landscape.
Qualcomm’s AI200 and AI250 solutions will provide high memory capacity and rack-scale performance to support generative AI applications. The collaboration underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to economic growth through technology while advancing Qualcomm’s goal of expanding AI adoption worldwide.
