Salesforce has announced a US$500 million investment in Saudi Arabia to support innovation and economic growth.
The funding will focus on AI skills training and expanding Salesforce’s local partner network to aid businesses.
The announcement, made at LEAP 2025, follows Salesforce’s pledge at Davos to strengthen its presence in Saudi Arabia with new regional headquarters in Riyadh.
The growing adoption of Agentforce, its digital labour platform, reflects the rising demand for AI-driven solutions in the region.
As part of the expansion, Salesforce will introduce Hyperforce, its next-generation platform architecture, in Saudi Arabia through a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This will allow global customers to run workloads locally via a distributed public cloud, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
“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 organisations to deliver unprecedented levels of productivity, growth, and customer success.”
