PIF, Saudi Information Technology Company (SITE), and Microsoft have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore delivering Microsoft’s sovereign-cloud services in the Kingdom, aiming to enhance national data security, confidentiality, and sovereignty while expanding access to advanced cloud and AI technologies.
The collaboration will assess how Microsoft’s globally adopted sovereign-cloud model can support Saudi Arabia’s compliance, security, and data residency priorities, while also enabling joint research, development, innovation, and knowledge transfer.
This initiative aligns with PIF’s strategy to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s ICT sector and position the Kingdom as a globally competitive digital hub. The MoU is non-binding and remains subject to regulatory approvals.
