Saudi Aramco, the global energy leader, and Microsoft, the technology innovation giant, have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore a range of digital initiatives aimed at accelerating the deployment of industrial artificial intelligence (AI) across Aramco’s operations.
Under the agreement, the two companies will assess opportunities to expand the use of advanced AI solutions to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen digital capabilities, and support workforce development in Saudi Arabia. The collaboration aligns with Aramco’s broader digital transformation strategy and ambition to reinforce its position as a technology-enabled energy and chemicals company.
Building on their longstanding partnership, Aramco plans to explore AI-driven industrial applications powered by Microsoft Azure. These solutions are expected to improve performance, boost global competitiveness, and help develop new technology-enabled models for energy and industrial systems.
