FEATURE cybersecurity, Digital Transformation is ultimately a workforce transformation challenge.
At EY Academy, we work closely with public and private sector organisations across the Kingdom to help them build the human capabilities required to turn national ambition into measurable impact. Our focus is on developing future-ready leaders and equipping workforces with the digital, AI and strategic skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy.
Supporting Vision 2030 means going beyond technical training. It requires reimagining leadership, embedding digital fluency at every level and aligning learning journeys to national priorities such as smart cities, advanced industries, public sector modernisation and innovation-led growth. Through tailored capability-building programs, diagnosticsled learning design and immersive digital experiences, we help organisations prepare their people to adopt new technologies responsibly, drive transformation agendas and lead with confidence.
For EY Academy, contributing to Saudi Arabia’ s national transformation is central to our purpose. By combining global insight with deep regional understanding, we aim to support the Kingdom’ s organisations in developing the talent, leadership and culture needed to power a sustainable, diversified and knowledge-based economy.
George Schembri, Vice President and General Manager, Middle East, OpenText:
As Saudi Arabia advances Vision 2030, digital transformation has become a national imperative and a defining opportunity for public and private sector innovation. OpenText is proud to support this acceleration.
The recent opening of our Middle East regional headquarters in Riyadh marks a major milestone in that journey. Located in the King Abdullah Financial District, our new hub enables closer collaboration with our customers as they accelerate Digital Transformation, modernise public services and move from AI experimentation to secure, enterprise-scale deployment.
At OpenText, we believe that AI is only as powerful as the information it is built on, and our vision is to help organisations manage, govern and protect their data across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. Our information management solutions enable Saudi organisations to unlock intelligence from information, strengthen cybersecurity resilience and build future-ready digital foundations.
As the Kingdom advances its ambition to become a global hub for technology and innovation, we are proud to stand as a long-term partner in this journey, empowering organisations to turn trusted information into a powerful competitive advantage and helping shape a knowledge-based economy for the future. • www. intelligentcio. com
