Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), part of Amazon.com, Inc., and HUMAIN, a Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) company specializing in global end-to-end AI solutions, announced a major expansion of their partnership at the U.S.–Saudi Arabia Investment Forum. The two companies announced that they plan to host, deploy, and run up to 150,000 AI accelerators in a cutting-edge new data center called the “AI Zone” in Riyadh. Moreover, AWS will become HUMAIN’s preferred international partner, marking a significant step in taking Saudi Arabia’s AI computing power and services to customers worldwide.
In this new AI Pioneering Zone, AWS and HUMAIN will support advanced AI training and inference by leveraging NVIDIA’s cutting-edge GB300 AI infrastructure and AWS’s proprietary Trainium chips. As a result, customers will be able to run compute-heavy AI workloads including model training and real-world AI inference more efficiently. Furthermore, this modern infrastructure will help organizations accelerate their journey from concept to production by responsibly using NVIDIA AI systems seamlessly integrated with AWS services.

With its robust security, scalability, and reliability, the AI Zone will position Saudi Arabia as home to one of the world’s most innovative and sophisticated AI computing hubs. Additionally, the center will not only meet domestic AI requirements but also address the rapidly increasing global need for AI compute capacity.
Customers will gain direct access to AWS’s advanced generative AI services including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon AgentCore, and Amazon SageMaker all through a unified platform. Amazon Bedrock will simplify infrastructure management by allowing enterprises to use foundational models without needing to manage the underlying hardware. This streamlined experience will empower innovators and global businesses to leverage generative AI with ease.
To further strengthen this initiative, HUMAIN will join the AWS Solution Provider Program, enabling customers to access AWS services through a single channel. This move also aligns with the AWS–HUMAIN strategic plan announced in May 2025, which includes a joint investment of over $5 billion toward AI infrastructure, AWS services, talent development, and AI training in Saudi Arabia.
“This is a key moment in our commitment to partner with HUMAIN,” said Tanuja Randery, Managing Director, AWS, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “By combining HUMAIN’s local expertise and investments with AWS’s AI solutions, including our advanced infrastructure, our equipment partnership with NVIDIA, our groundbreaking AI platform known as Amazon Bedrock, and our enterprise AI solutions, such as Amazon Quick Suite, we are creating a world-class innovation hub that will serve customers both in Saudi Arabia and around the world. As an AWS solutions provider, HUMAIN will support organizations, enabling them to realize the full potential of generative AI and drive transformation with agent-based solutions for businesses and governments. Together, we are accelerating digital transformation and driving economic growth by building on a deep understanding of local needs and leveraging capabilities on a global scale.”

Adding to that vision, Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, said, “The AI Zone is the first step in a multi-gigawatt partnership between HUMAIN and AWS. From the outset, this infrastructure has been designed to address both national priorities and the growing demand for AI computing capacity worldwide. This partnership stands out for its scale of ambition and innovative collaboration. Leveraging a groundbreaking commercial model and a shared commitment to global expansion, we are creating an ecosystem that will shape how ingenious AI solutions are developed, deployed, and scaled up for the world.”
Beyond infrastructure, AWS and HUMAIN will jointly accelerate AI adoption across Saudi Arabia’s public and private sectors. They also plan to advance the development of large-scale Arabic language models, including HUMAIN’s “ALLAM”, and build a unified AI-agent-powered marketplace for government services.
To support long-term talent development, AWS will train 100,000 Saudi citizens in cloud and generative AI through Amazon Academy, in collaboration with PIF. Additionally, AWS will lead a dedicated initiative to train 10,000 women, helping build a diverse, future-ready workforce prepared for an AI-driven economy expected to add $130 billion to Saudi Arabia’s GDP by 2030.
