IFS and Echelon Team Up to Drive Industrial AI Transformation in Saudi Arabia
IFS, a leading provider of industrial AI, has partnered with Echelon, a Riyadh-headquartered company that delivers artificial intelligence transformations globally. This strategic partnership aims to drive industrial AI transformation in Saudi Arabia by bringing IFS's solutions to market through Echelon.
Echelon will work with its client base across the country's industrial sectors to deploy and localize IFS.ai, an AI enterprise layer that enables asset-intensive industries such as energy, manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace and defence, logistics and telecoms to move beyond legacy tech systems towards AI-embedded operations.
Saudi Arabia has made significant investments in advanced manufacturing as part of its Vision 2030 strategy. With the largest industrial base in the Middle East and Africa, accounting for 45% of the country's US$1.1 trillion GDP in 2024, the Kingdom is actively promoting itself as an industrial hub and a gateway market for regional industrial supply chains.
