Salesforce has announced a $500 million USD investment in Saudi Arabia, signaling its commitment to fostering innovation and economic growth in the region. The investment, unveiled at LEAP 2025, aims to bolster workforce development through AI skilling initiatives and expand Salesforce’s local partner ecosystem. This move follows Salesforce’s pledge at Davos to establish a new regional headquarters in Riyadh.
A key component of this expansion is the introduction of Hyperforce, Salesforce’s next-generation platform architecture, to Saudi Arabia. Delivered in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Hyperforce will enable Salesforce customers to run workloads locally while adhering to regulatory requirements.
“We are entering a new era where autonomous AI agents working with humans are transforming workforces and businesses across the globe,” said Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO, Salesforce. “With Agentforce, Hyperforce, and our global partner ecosystem, we are empowering Saudi organizations to deliver unprecedented levels of productivity, growth, and customer success.”
