Saudi Arabia’s First Telecom Industries (FTI) has partnered with HUAWEI for localisation and digital energy manufacturing. The collaboration came on the sidelines of the Local Content Forum held in Riyadh.
The agreement was sponsored by digital enabler Saudi Telecom Company (stc) in support of its goals to localise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The partnership was also sponsored by the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority in a bid to promote and develop local industries.
The collaboration contributes to developing the digital energy sector and localising its industry, which is one of STC’s Rawafed programme objectives aimed at the transfer of knowledge, technology, and international expertise from Huawei in cooperation with FTI by providing job opportunities and contributing to the local supply chains in the GCC state.
The agreement is a practical step to further support local content participation, hence contributing to the realisation of the Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
