Snowflake opened a new regional headquarters in Riyadh to expand its presence in the Middle East

Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, opened a new regional headquarters (RHQ) in Saudi Arabia to expand its presence in the Middle East, deploying on Google Cloud to better meet the Kingdom’s data residency and sovereignty requirements.

With the addition of Snowflake’s deployment on Google Cloud in the Kingdom, regional customers will be able to choose a geographical region that best suits their operational needs, the company announced in a statement today

Mohamed Zouari, General Manager for Middle East, Africa and Turkey at Snowflake, stated that the expansion in Saudi Arabia marks a pivotal step in the company’s commitment to supporting and empowering Saudi organisations to meet local data regulations with faster, cost-efficient, secure, and compliant data solutions.

“With our local deployment on Google Cloud, organisations in the KSA can use a foundational data strategy to unlock deeper data insights powered by AI, driving business innovation, all while meeting the highest standards of data residency and sovereignty,” Zouari added.

Organizations such as Almarai use Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud to better access data to drive business decision making, all in a secure and governed platform.

Faisal Al-Nasser, CIO of Almarai, commented: "The availability of Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud in Saudi Arabia aligns seamlessly with our commitment to having secure and governed data solutions, where data resides within regional boundaries.”

He noted that Snowflake’s deployment represents a significant advancement in the company’s ability to manage and analyze data, paving the way for new opportunities in its digital initiatives.

Snowflake serves thousands of companies around the globe, including hundreds of the world’s largest. Its AI Data Cloud enables organizations to share data, build applications, and power their business with AI.
