Global AI-first cloud communications platform Infobip has announced the launch of a new data centre in Saudi Arabia, strengthening its commitment to the Kingdom’s expanding digital economy and supporting growing demand for sovereign, compliant digital infrastructure.
The new facility is designed to serve enterprise and public-sector organisations that require strict data residency, security and regulatory compliance within Saudi Arabia. It will provide local compute and storage capabilities for AI workloads, enabling businesses to deploy and run AI services without transferring sensitive data outside the country.
Demand for in-country infrastructure has been increasing across highly regulated sectors such as government, finance, healthcare and large enterprises, where data sovereignty and compliance requirements are becoming increasingly critical. Hosting AI services outside the region can also create latency and reliability challenges.
Infobip’s new Saudi-based data centre addresses these issues by allowing organisations to process and store data locally, improving performance while ensuring compliance with national regulations.
According to Amsal Kapetanovic, Head of KSA at Infobip, Saudi Arabia’s rapid digital transformation under Vision 2030 is increasing the need for trusted local infrastructure. He noted that in times of regional uncertainty, sovereign data centres are not only a regulatory requirement but also a strategic asset that supports operational continuity, security and resilience.
The investment highlights Infobip’s long-term ambitions in Saudi Arabia while enabling enterprises and government organisations to deploy AI-driven customer engagement and communication services with lower latency, greater reliability and full compliance with local data regulations.
