STC Bahrain has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Huawei to accelerate its transformation into a technology-driven enterprise under EVOLVE 2.0 – Evolve Towards TechCo.
The agreement reflects STC Bahrain’s shift from a traditional connectivity provider to a digital platform company powered by network, cloud, data, and AI capabilities. The objective is to deliver scalable digital services, intelligent operations, and diversified revenue models.
The MoU builds on the successful implementation of the original EVOLVE programme, which introduced an end-to-end framework across the customer experience lifecycle, from sales and provisioning to service usage, assurance, and monetisation. The programme has already delivered measurable impact, including faster cloud adoption, the launch of new digital services, improved customer experience visibility, and a clear roadmap toward autonomous network operations.
Under EVOLVE 2.0, STC Bahrain will accelerate the deployment of enterprise-grade intelligent capabilities across both network and business domains. The collaboration will focus on building a scalable, intelligence-ready digital architecture, strengthening advanced data intelligence, deploying high-performance computing infrastructure, and introducing Copilot-style capabilities to enhance operational efficiency, decision-making, and innovation.
The agreement also reinforces STC Bahrain’s commitment to embedding intelligence across planning, marketing, and operations, while advancing toward higher levels of automation and zero-touch operations across RAN, transport, and core network domains. These initiatives are intended to strengthen service quality, improve customer experience, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
Ahmed Alsharif, Chief Technology and Digital Officer at STC Bahrain, said EVOLVE 2.0 represents the next phase of the company’s TechCo transformation, enabling stronger digital and AI foundations and accelerating innovation.
Harry Yu, CEO of Huawei Bahrain, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to enabling enterprise-grade generative intelligence and intelligent operations at scale, supporting STC Bahrain’s TechCo journey.
EVOLVE 2.0 positions STC Bahrain as a regional lighthouse TechCo, leveraging next-generation digital intelligence, cloud platforms, and autonomous operations to enhance performance and deliver innovative services.
