At last month’s iktva Forum and Exhibition in Dammam, Aveva alongside its strategic partner Schneider Electric, showcased how advanced technological solutions in the fields of big data, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate the digital transformation of Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector.

According to Tobias Scheele, Senior Vice-President of Global Accounts: "Aveva has partnered with Aramco to drive sustainability across the Kingdom and beyond using digital transformation solutions to achieve the goals of Saudi Vision 2030."

He says Aveva is committed to driving decarbonisation across Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector, while helping unlock new value, boost business competitiveness and create new job opportunities within the Kingdom and throughout the Middle East.
