AWS Region Launch Partner announcement in Saudi Arabia

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-2026 Akkodis, a global leader in digital engineering and technology consulting, has been announced as the AWS Region Launch Partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), reinforcing its commitment to accelerating secure, AI enabled digital transformation across the region.

Last year, AWS had announced plans to invest more than US$5.3 billion in Saudi Arabia for a new AWS infrastructure Region by 2026, comprising three Availability Zones at go live, a move to bolster in country performance, data residency options, and innovation capacity for public and private sectors. In parallel, AWS wants to establish two innovation centers in the Kingdom and train 4,000 women on AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials, further expanding the local skills base that Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 prioritizes.

As organizations in KSA modernize mission critical workloads, cloud adoption continues to surge across the public and private sectors. The Saudi cloud services market was valued at USD 4.77 billion in 2025 and is expected to double to USD 11.47 billion by 2031, growing at 15.74% CAGR driven by enterprise AI workloads, national data center investments, and regulatory modernization.

Akkodis brings more than a decade of partnership with AWS along with experience in architecting and operating mission critical workloads for government and heavily regulated industries across the USA, UK, Australia, Europe, and Japan. As an AWS Region Launch Partner, Akkodis is the implementation partner of choice for our public and private sector organizations in KSA to design, build, operate and scale secure cloud and AI solutions, giving confidence to move from AI strategy to real world execution.
