Siemens has announced the official opening of its first Siemens Digital Industries Software office in Saudi Arabia on February 2, denoting a step toward support of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and its digital economy. This move will enable Siemens Digital Industries Software to provide enhanced local support, boost innovation, and deepen its collaboration with customers and partners across the region.

The establishment of a direct local presence will streamline operations, facilitate direct transactions within the Kingdom and provide on-the-ground support, aligning with local commercial and regulatory processes, Siemens reports.

Siemens Digital Industries Software will enable industrial digitalization across various sectors including design, simulation, manufacturing operations and data platforms. This directly contributes to the specific outcomes prioritized by Vision 2030. The full Siemens Xcelerator industrial software portfolio will be available locally. Through its local presence, Siemens will co-innovate with customers, partners and academia to accelerate skills development and innovation within Saudi Arabia.

"Saudi Arabia's digital economy is scaling rapidly under Vision 2030, and establishing a local Siemens Software presence allows us to serve customers faster, meet local requirements, and co-innovate with partners in the Kingdom," says Cobus Oosthuizen, vice president and managing director, Middle East and Africa, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "This move brings us closer to our customers such as CEER, Aramco, SABIC and SAMI, and talent, enabling us to contribute more directly to the Kingdom's digital transformation journey."

Siemens Digital Industries Software will operate with local leadership and support from its regional team.
