Huawei Cloud has announced a strategic partnership with GAPP to strengthen the delivery of AI-powered and compliance-grade cloud services to enterprises across Saudi Arabia.
Under the agreement, GAPP will serve as Huawei Cloud’s official cloud solutions distributor in the Kingdom, enabling local enterprises and secondary distributors to access Huawei Cloud’s portfolio of AI, cloud-native infrastructure, and disaster recovery services through a localized distribution model aligned with Saudi regulatory and operational requirements.
The partnership focuses on accelerating cloud and AI adoption across key sectors including financial services, utilities, education, hospitality, telecommunications, and industrial operations.
“Huawei Cloud enables partners in KSA to unlock a new high-growth path in cloud and AI.” — Hugo Hu, CEO, Huawei Cloud Saudi Arabia
Hugo Hu, CEO of Huawei Cloud Saudi Arabia, said the collaboration will help partners and resellers unlock new growth opportunities in cloud and AI while creating long-term customer value through recurring services and enterprise partnerships.
Ahmed Alazmah, COO of GAPP, noted that combining Huawei Cloud’s technologies with GAPP’s local market expertise would enable Saudi organizations to modernize operations using secure and scalable cloud solutions tailored to regional requirements.
A major component of the partnership is Huawei Cloud’s Riyadh cloud region, built on a three-availability-zone architecture to ensure business continuity and high availability for critical workloads. The platform also holds the highest Class C Cloud Service Provider license issued by Saudi Arabia’s Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST), supporting compliance-heavy enterprise deployments.
The collaboration will further expand access to Huawei Cloud’s AI ecosystem, including its Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, which provides enterprises with low-latency access to advanced open-source AI models such as DeepSeek-V4 and GLM-5.1. These capabilities are expected to accelerate development of sector-specific and Arabic-language AI applications in the Kingdom.

Huawei highlighted existing deployments, including AI voice agent solutions developed by Dyna.ai for industries such as banking, insurance, and telecommunications, as well as Arabic-language intelligent call center solutions gaining traction in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership also strengthens regional resilience capabilities through Huawei Cloud’s multi-country disaster recovery architecture spanning Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and the UAE.
The collaboration aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives by supporting local innovation, digital transformation, and technology ecosystem development across the Kingdom.
