Accenture has strengthened its footprint in Saudi Arabia with the launch of a Connected Innovation Center at its regional headquarters in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). The facility is positioned as a strategic hub for Total Enterprise Reinvention, enabling organizations to scale artificial intelligence capabilities and build future-ready workforces in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
The center is designed to help businesses move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment. As part of Accenture’s global innovation network, it provides hands-on access to emerging technologies and sector-specific solutions. The facility has already supported sovereign digital initiatives through partnerships with Microsoft, Google Cloud, and Oracle, allowing local organizations to securely prototype and expand cloud and AI environments. The General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) is among the entities that have leveraged the center to transition from AI ideation to production-level implementation.
Located within KAFD’s advanced business ecosystem, the center reinforces Riyadh’s position as a regional innovation hub. It also integrates Accenture LearnVantage, a $1 billion AI-native upskilling platform offering personalized learning paths, certifications, managed learning services, and workforce transformation programs. Collaborations with global technology partners such as SAP and AWS further strengthen the training infrastructure, supporting the development of local digital talent.
Accenture’s expansion reflects its continued investment in the Kingdom’s AI and digital agenda. Over the past two years, the company’s Saudi workforce has grown by approximately 60%, underscoring its role in advancing co-innovation, ecosystem partnerships, and sustainable workforce development across the country.
