Globant, a digital services company founded in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has opened its Middle East regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This development follows the company’s entry into the region less than three years ago.
The Riyadh office will focus on AI and digital customer experience, integrating local talent into its operations.
“Reinvention is Globant’s core identity,”
said Martín Migoya, Co-founder and CEO.
“Through the opening of our new Middle East headquarters in Riyadh, we have the honour of applying our talent to be a part of Saudi Arabia’s reinvention story as well. Since our first executive visit less than three years ago, we’ve seen first-hand the promise of the Kingdom’s vibrant and young talent and how it can be the engine for growth in its new and innovative economy.”
The new hub in Riyadh aims to advance AI-focused solutions across sectors including media, travel, finance, and gaming.
Globant plans to train local IT professionals in AI development through specialised courses aimed at producing AI architects and engineers.
The new headquarters, located at Building 1.15 in King Abdullah Financial District, includes Globant’s third “Playground”, a multi-purpose open space designed to showcase digital innovation.
Similar to previous installations in São Paulo and Los Angeles, the Riyadh Playground offers interactive experiences, such as a virtual reality Formula 1 pit stop simulation and sports-based digital challenges.
