As Saudi Arabia accelerates investments in artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure, Magna AI has partnered with Saudi-headquartered ICT infrastructure specialist MBUZZ to support enterprise AI deployment across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Magna AI, the global integrated-value-chain sovereign AI transformation leader, has been established through a partnership between Trend Micro and Wistron Digital Technology Holding Company (WDH), powered by NVIDIA.

Together, the companies will deliver AI infrastructure and transformation services to enterprises across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, said a statement from Magna AI.

The collaboration, announced in Riyadh, combines Magna AI’s AI enablement and enterprise transformation capabilities with MBUZZ’s infrastructure integration across compute, storage, networking, and high-performance computing.

Together, the companies aim to give organizations the technology foundations and transformation services required to move AI from experimentation into production. It will also help businesses across the region design and adopt AI infrastructure, secure AI platforms, and sector-specific applications, supported by AI security, secure operations, and skills development programmes, it stated.

The partnership comes at a time as enterprise AI investment accelerates across the Middle East and Africa.

According to IDC, the Middle East and Africa are now the fastest-growing region in the world for AI infrastructure investment, as governments and enterprises move AI from experimentation into production. For enterprises, the question is shifting from whether to invest in AI toward how to embed it into the business and generate measurable value.

As that shift gathers pace, enterprise AI requirements are extending well beyond access to models or compute. Moving AI into production requires organizations to align infrastructure, data, platforms, security, governance and operating models around business outcomes.

Magna AI and MBUZZ intend to support organizations across the full lifecycle, from AI readiness assessments and transformation roadmaps to infrastructure design and integration, data and platform enablement, and the execution of large-scale AI programs.

These environments are designed to support a growing range of enterprise AI workloads, including large-scale model training and fine-tuning, inference and agentic AI applications, while meeting requirements around security, governance, resilience and regulatory compliance.

Dr Moataz BinAli, the Chief Executive Officer of Magna AI, said: “Enterprise AI is entering a very different phase, one defined less by how organizations access AI and more by how they operationalise, integrate it into the business, and scale it responsibly.”

Fawwaz Alshammari, Managing Director, MBUZZ, said: “Our customers want AI that works within the realities of their business, which means infrastructure, integration, and transformation delivered together and supported locally.”
