The deployment sees Adobe move its regional AI data captioning workloads onto locally hosted infrastructure, keeping compute and data in the Kingdom as enterprise AI demand grows
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – August – HUMAIN today announced that Adobe will become the first global software company to move its artificial intelligence (AI) workloads onto HUMAIN’s AI Compute infrastructure, accelerated by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., marking an early signal of ecosystem demand and validating the platform’s readiness for large-scale AI deployment.
The collaboration pairs Adobe’s regional AI data captioning workloads with HUMAIN’s AI Compute infrastructure and Qualcomm Dragonfly™ AI accelerators. By enabling the onboarding and integration of enterprise-ready AI workloads, the collaboration will help deliver scalable, locally relevant AI experiences for individuals and businesses across the region.
As the first deployment of its kind on the platform, Adobe’s onboarding is expected to be followed by additional migrations from the wider industry. It reflects Saudi Arabia’s broader ambition to position itself as a hub for next-generation AI innovation, where infrastructure, platforms and applications are being developed in parallel to support long-term growth.
“Adobe’s decision to move its regional AI workloads onto HUMAIN’s platform is a strong signal of confidence in the infrastructure we’re helping to build in Saudi Arabia,” said Wassim Chourbaji, Senior Vice President and President, Qualcomm Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Our AI data center inferencing capabilities are built for enterprise-scale deployment, and seeing that translate into real-world adoption this early reinforces Qualcomm’s AI infrastructure strategy and the central role the region is playing.”
“Building AI infrastructure is only the starting point. What matters is what enterprises can do with it,” said Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN. “Adobe bringing AI workloads onto HUMAIN’s platform demonstrates the model we are building: advanced infrastructure connected directly to the applications and intelligence enterprises use every day. Together with Adobe and Qualcomm, we are turning compute into capability, and capability into real-world deployment. That is how AI moves from infrastructure to impact.”
“Moving Adobe’s regional AI data captioning workloads onto HUMAIN’s sovereign AI Compute Infrastructure, accelerated by Qualcomm, underscores the momentum behind the AI infrastructure being built in the Kingdom,” said Luc Dammann, Senior Vice President and President, Adobe EMEA. “This collaboration supports Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a hub for next-generation AI innovation, and we’re proud to help build that foundation alongside HUMAIN and Qualcomm.”
This deployment builds on the strategic collaboration announced by HUMAIN, Qualcomm and Adobe at the US-Saudi Investment Forum in November 2025 and aims to make enterprise-grade AI more accessible to people and businesses in Saudi Arabia, with infrastructure designed to scale as demand grows across the region.
