Real-world deployments demonstrate how Huawei Cloud’s full-stack AI capabilities and enterprise-grade resilience are accelerating Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, September, 2026: Huawei has showcased its latest Agentic AI infrastructure and Backup & Disaster Recovery solutions at LEAP 2026, demonstrating advanced cloud capabilities that translate technological innovation into measurable operational outcomes across Saudi Arabia’s most critical industries.
Saudi Water Authority (SWA) is leveraging Huawei Cloud to power Saudi Arabia’s first NCA-compliant platform for Operational Technology (OT). By unifying data analytics, water digital twins, and AI predictive tools, SWA enables real-time monitoring and shifts operations from reactive to proactive, improving critical water infrastructure reliability.
In logistics, SMSA Express is utilizing Huawei Cloud to deploy AI-driven route optimization, dynamic resource allocation, and real-time business intelligence. The integration streamlines supply chain operations, improves resource precision, and enhances overall delivery network visibility.
Hugo Hu, CEO of Huawei Cloud Saudi Arabia, said: “Artificial intelligence has been transitioning from theoretical innovation to tangible operational value across Saudi Arabia. Our Agentic AI infrastructure, data sovereignty solutions, and enterprise-grade Backup and Disaster Recovery capabilities are purpose-built to meet the Kingdom’s most complex digital challenges. From water management to logistics, from universities to cloud-native enterprises, Huawei Cloud is committed to being the trusted partner that powers Saudi Arabia’s intelligent future, delivering full-stack capabilities, deep local expertise, and a relentless focus on real business impact.”
A Next-Generation Foundation: Huawei Cloud Agentic Infra
To power enterprise-grade AI transformation at scale, Huawei Cloud introduced its Agentic Infra foundation at LEAP 2026. This next-generation architecture features unified general and AI compute scheduling, continuous learning capabilities, and flexible compute formats engineered to meet diverse operational requirements. Within Saudi Arabia, localized AI NPU Card deliver ultra-low latency inference for real-time applications, while local AI server support fine-tuning and incremental learning on proprietary enterprise data. For intensive model pre-training and reinforcement learning requiring massive processing scale, organizations can seamlessly access Huawei Cloud’s mega-scale AI clusters.
Building on this foundation, Huawei Cloud Agentic MaaS operates as a unified token generation and billing engine designed to maximize ROI and deliver secure AI autonomy at enterprise scale. The platform provides access to leading global models including GLM, DeepSeek and more, through cost-effective, low-latency token services. Agentic MaaS also supports multi-scenario compatibility across IDEs, local development tools, and autonomous agents, alongside OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible APIs.
Data Sovereignty: On-Premises AI with Huawei Cloud Stack
For organizations operating under strict regulatory or data privacy requirements, Huawei Cloud Stack provides a dedicated hybrid cloud solution, enabling enterprises and government entities to deploy cloud infrastructure on-premises and ensure that sensitive workloads and proprietary data remain strictly within local security boundaries.
Huawei Cloud also offers openJiuwen, an open-source AI agent development platform designed to ensure maximum data privacy and local control. openJiuwen enables organizations to build, deploy, and manage custom AI agents entirely on-premises, with advanced multi-agent coordination capabilities delivered through JiuwenSwarm. The platform has already earned over 25,000 stars on GitHub & GitCode, reflecting rapid and widespread adoption across the industry.
Uninterrupted Operational Continuity
With business continuity becoming an executive priority, reliable disaster recovery has emerged as a fundamental pillar of enterprise resilience. Unexpected system downtime carries severe operational and reputational consequences, a risk that Huawei Cloud’s Backup and Disaster Recovery solutions are designed to address head-on.
Supported by its 3AZ Riyadh Region and operating under a Class C license from the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST), Huawei Cloud’s platform is interconnected with a global network spanning 34 Regions and 102 Availability Zones, including regions in Singapore and Ireland. The platform integrates with offline Huawei Cloud Stack deployments, enabling cross-AZ and cross-region recovery and up to twelve-nines data durability to safeguard critical information even in the event of physical infrastructure failure.
A leading university in Saudi Arabia demonstrates this resilience in practice, having built a dedicated disaster recovery site on Huawei Cloud to ensure uninterrupted educational services, strengthen system reliability, and enhance IT operations and maintenance efficiency across its digital estate.
Strategic Partner Trusted by Industry Leaders
On the sidelines of LEAP 2026, Huawei reinforced its long-term regional commitment by signing Strategic MoUs with key local technology leaders Unifonic and Master Works, further accelerating digital transformation across the Kingdom. By delivering full-stack AI compute, localized data sovereignty, and reliable business continuity, Huawei continues to serve as a trusted strategic partner, powering Saudi Arabia’s digital and intelligent future in alignment with the ambitions of Vision 2030.
