Salesforce can empower Saudi’s AI-Driven initiatives

A key initiative is a partnership with Princess Nourah University (PNU), the world’s largest women’s university. This will help the company to equip female students with AI and cloud computing expertise through Salesforce’s Trailhead learning platform.
“This partnership marks a major step in fostering inclusivity and preparing the next generation of female leaders for the digital economy,” said Dr. Ala Alluhaidan, Dean of Development and Quality Deanship at PNU.
Strengthening Saudi’s Digital Infrastructure
With the introduction of Hyperforce, Salesforce customers will be able to run workloads locally on a public cloud infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Saudi regulations while unlocking powerful AI-driven automation for businesses.
“The rise of autonomous AI agents is transforming industries,” said Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce. “With Agentforce, Hyperforce, and our partner ecosystem, we’re helping Saudi organizations achieve new levels of productivity and growth.”
