In a significant move to propel innovation and cultivate local digital talent, Huawei Cloud, in collaboration with the Center for Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE) and NAUATECH, successfully hosted the Saudi Arabia 2025 Huawei Cloud Developer Conference. The event, held at CODE’s headquarters in Riyadh, convened a distinguished group of developers and startup founders from across the Kingdom.
The conference aimed to highlight the substantial value Huawei Cloud brings to the local developer and startup ecosystems. It featured Huawei’s extensive suite of AI-powered cloud services and its advanced cloud-native development tools. Serving as a crucial platform for knowledge exchange, the event reinforced Huawei’s commitment to building a robust digital ecosystem and empowering technical talent, aligning seamlessly with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious digital transformation agenda.
A core focus of the conference was hands-on empowerment through specialized training programs, advanced development tools, and globally recognized professional certifications. Saudi developers now have direct access to Huawei’s global cloud initiatives, including the Huawei Cloud Developer Program (HCDP), the Huawei Cloud Startup Program, and the Huawei Cloud Certified Developer for AI (HCCDX). These initiatives provide not only technical training but also integrated business support and international certifications, enabling developers to build strong career paths, scale their innovations, and contribute to Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning cloud ecosystem.
During the event, Huawei Cloud reaffirmed its steadfast support for the Kingdom’s expanding developer community. The company currently offers over 90 cloud services and plans to expand to more than 200 services across three Availability Zones in the Riyadh Region. Huawei continues to invest in infrastructure, training, and tooling to accelerate the growth of Saudi Arabia’s cloud landscape. Notably, Huawei Cloud has achieved “Class C” certification—the highest cloud classification awarded by the Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST)—underscoring the platform’s adherence to rigorous local and international standards for security, performance, and reliability.
The conference also showcased Huawei’s latest innovations in AI infrastructure. Attendees were introduced to ModelArts, Huawei’s cutting-edge AI development platform designed to significantly reduce the time and complexity of deploying AI solutions from months to mere days. Supported by high-performance AI cloud servers, ModelArts accommodates a wide range of foundation models and is already transforming key sectors such as digital humans, smart cities, and smart universities, solidifying Huawei’s leadership in real-world AI deployment.
On the software development front, Huawei demonstrated CodeArts, its unified DevSecOps platform that empowers development teams to build, test, secure, and deploy applications in the cloud. Supporting over 20 programming languages and frameworks, CodeArts facilitates seamless cloud migration. The platform also offers built-in R&D security features, over 3,000 code scanning rules, and powerful integration capabilities, providing developers with a secure and streamlined development experience.
The event also highlighted inspiring success stories from Huawei Cloud’s partners. Companies such as Systems Arabia, FanRuan, Dyna.AI, and NAS Solutions shared how they leveraged Huawei Cloud’s AI-driven solutions to scale their innovations and transform ideas into viable, scalable businesses. These real-world case studies vividly illustrated the tangible impact Huawei Cloud is delivering across both the startup and enterprise landscapes.
