Aramco Digital, the digital and technology subsidiary of Saudi Aramco, and Accenture have formed a strategic partnership to fuel generative AI (gen AI) capabilities and innovation to supercharge the digital skilling agenda in Saudi Arabia.
Aramco Digital will use Accenture LearnVantage’s AI-native platform, which employs a gen AI recommendation engine to select learning content and provide various features—from assessing skill gaps and personalizing learning to offering certifications, aligning individual learning needs with the organization’s and national growth priorities.
The LearnVantage’s AI-native platform will also connect with a large group of Arabic and English trainers and mentors from Accenture, including top professionals from various industries and academic institutions.
Accenture will equip the company’s entire workforce with foundational and specialized AI skills by delivering its gen AI learning platform. It will help Aramco Digital in its pursuit of becoming the largest provider of gen AI services in Saudia Arabia.
“Gen AI will continue to reshape the business sectors and the talent landscape in our Kingdom. We are partnering with Accenture to ensure we are not only prepared for the gen AI transformation but are well positioned to lead it,” said Tareq Amine, CEO of Aramco Digital.
He added, “And we are excited to work alongside them to bring our deep capabilities and digital solutions in gen AI learning to market to serve the Kingdom’s workforce and help advance us toward achieving Vision 2030.”
The two companies will further collaborate to drive even greater AI fluency and develop the talent needed to navigate changes brought by technological advancements.
“We are passionate about helping organizations in Saudi Arabia become talent creators and contributing our extensive knowledge and capabilities to transform the way people learn,” said Omar Boulos, CEO of Accenture Middle East.
“Our collaboration with Aramco Digital marks a significant step toward strengthening the Kingdom’s workforce with the skills of the future and builds upon our existing commitment to support this dynamic market through digital skilling,” he added.
“Powered by its cloud-based and AI-native platform, Accenture LearnVantage will play a critical role in accelerating digital skilling and ensuring learning effectiveness,” said Kishore Durg, Global Lead of Accenture LearnVantage. “We are excited to partner with Aramco Digital to deliver innovative solutions and help the Kingdom forge future-ready workforces.”
