Aramco Digital and Groq, a leading company in AI inference technology, have announced a strategic partnership to establish the world’s largest inferencing data center in Saudi Arabia.

This collaboration represents a major leap forward in advancing Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation and positioning the Kingdom as a global leader in AI and cloud computing, according to a report from the Saudi Press Agency.

The announcement was made during the Global AI Summit (GAIN Summit), which recently concluded in Riyadh.

The new inferencing data center is a key part of Aramco Digital’s vision to harness cutting-edge technologies to enhance operational excellence and support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals.
