LONDON, UK, Oct. 2, 2025 — Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced it will enter the Middle East with plans to open a new office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This strategic investment marks an important step in Workday’s global growth strategy and reflects the company’s commitment to customers, prospects and partners in one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.
With a dedicated sales team and local leadership, Workday’s new presence in Dubai will bring the company closer to customers across the UAE and the wider Middle East, helping build stronger relationships and new partnerships.

With the latest wave of innovation launched at Workday Rising earlier this month, Workday is uniquely positioned to help organisations across the region achieve their digital transformation objectives, laid out in the UAE’s ‘We the UAE 2031’ and Saudi Arabia’s ‘Vision 2030’ strategy.
