Tencent Cloud said at its Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit on November 2 that it had partnered with OmniOps, a Saudi Arabia-based AI infrastructure company, to support enterprise AI development and deployment in the country.

Under the partnership, Tencent Cloud will provide cloud infrastructure and technical expertise, while OmniOps will contribute model inference technology and local deployment capabilities for customers running AI models.

The deal comes as Saudi Arabia has issued guidance on AI adoption through a framework from the Saudi Data and AI Authority, signaling official support for wider enterprise and government use.

It also comes amid enforcement of Saudi information and communications technology cross-border data transfer rules, which can make local processing more important for cloud and AI workloads.
