Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and HUMAIN have announced plans to open a new Qualcomm AI Engineering Center at HUMAIN in Riyadh.
This center will support HUMAIN’s efforts to establish 200 megawatts of data center capacity based on Qualcomm’s advanced Cloud AI solutions, beginning in 2026.
HUMAIN and Qualcomm announced a major partnership to implement advanced AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. This infrastructure will deliver high-performance AI inference services with excellent performance at a competitive cost of ownership (TCO), both in the Kingdom and globally.
Qualcomm’s Cloud AI hardware and software, including the Qualcomm AI200 and AI250 rack solutions, will power this new infrastructure.
The Qualcomm AI Engineering Center will focus on advanced AI engineering capabilities that help speed up the development and deployment of fully optimized HUMAIN edge-to-cloud services.
It will also support customer engineering to scale various high-quality AI solutions offered by HUMAIN, help onboard AI models, foster technology and ecosystem development, and provide top-notch AI training capabilities. This new center is set to open in December 2025 and will be located alongside HUMAIN in Riyadh to ensure close cooperation and faster time-to-market.
Cristiano Amon, President and CEO of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., said, “We are excited to announce the next phase of our successful partnership with HUMAIN, bringing leading AI expertise to Riyadh through our new AI Engineering Center. Located with HUMAIN, this center will serve as a vital hub for technology and ecosystem development, designed to simplify and speed up the deployment of advanced services based on Qualcomm AI solutions for data centers.”
Tareq Amin, Chief Executive Officer of HUMAIN, said, “We are working with Qualcomm Technologies to provide world-class AI infrastructure solutions. With the new Qualcomm AI Engineering Center located with HUMAIN, we are joining our skills to accelerate the rollout of our advanced data center capacity and solutions. Our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies continues to grow stronger as we aim to unlock value across various industries and lead the next phase of artificial intelligence innovation.”
