JEDDAH: During an investment summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia partnered with top US tech companies to advance its cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence capabilities.
Six agreements between Kingdom businesses and US firms were signed during the occasion, demonstrating the growing strategic and technical collaboration between the two nations.
