Deloitte Middle East advances AI integration with launch of Global Agentic Network
As AI adoption accelerates in the region, Deloitte's agentic AI offering provides a future-forward solution that combines intelligent automation with human expertise. Through its global network spanning EMEA, Asia Pacific, and North America — and with a growing regional focus in the GCC — Deloitte is bringing AI-powered agents to enterprises looking to drive operational efficiency, accelerate growth, and reimagine how work gets done.
Agentic AI refers to software agents capable of autonomously executing tasks, orchestrating workflows, and adapting based on input from users or other systems. These agents, powered by large language models and machine learning, are designed to learn and evolve — making them ideal for complex, dynamic business environments.
In the Middle East, where government and private sector agendas alike are emphasizing digital transformation, the Global Agentic Network supports national strategies for AI innovation and economic diversification. Deloitte is already supporting regional clients in sectors such as energy, government, and financial services to implement agentic solutions that streamline decision-making, improve efficiency, and unlock value at scale.
'The Middle East is on a rapid trajectory toward AI-led transformation, and Agentic AI is a game-changer for how businesses operate,' said Yousef Barkawie, Deloitte Middle East Gen AI leader.
'At Deloitte, we're helping our clients navigate the world of AI transformation by architecting and building the capabilities and trust needed for them to scale out their AI deployments and transform at the core. Our clients are finding new efficiencies in their ways of working, streamlining their operations, and reimagining their entire value chains. This is an exciting moment to help shape what the future of work looks like in our region, especially as governments and industries double down on innovation and future-readiness.'
The Global Agentic Network includes alliances with leading technology platforms and the launch of solutions like Zora AI, Deloitte's suite of proprietary AI agents that can autonomously perform complex business functions. These tools are already being deployed within Deloitte's own operations, as part of the firm's broader ambition to become an AI-fueled organization by 2030.

Saudi food industries sector seen to grow 7% by 2030: Argaam Macro
Argaam Macro in a recent report expected Saudi Arabia's food industries sector to record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 6.8% through 2030, driven by rising demand for food products. In the report released today, August 19, 2025, Argaam Macro revealed that the sector's size reached about SAR 166.15 billion in 2024, compared to SAR 152.22 billion a year earlier, marking an increase of SAR 13.9 billion, or 9.2% year-on-year. The food industries sector makes up 10% of the Kingdom's total manufacturing industries, underscoring its importance as a vital sector contributing to diversifying the industrial base and strengthening national food security. Argaam Macro 's study explained that the accelerated growth of food industries in Saudi Arabia has been fueled by several key factors, including the continuous population growth, the rising number of visitors and tourists, the steady expansion of food and beverage manufacturers, along with higher household consumer spending, aided by rising incomes and evolving consumption patterns. The study indicated that harnessing these factors effectively —through developing food industry infrastructure, catalyzing investment in modern technologies, and strengthening local and global partnerships—would enhance self-sufficiency, improve product quality, and increase export opportunities. Moreover, the tourism sector expansion, increasing international events, the facilitation of entry measures, and the development of entertainment destinations all encourage the food industries sector to broaden its production and distribution scope in line with global standards and preferences. Investing strategically and proactively in these factors not only benefits food industries but also boosts all market sectors. It is a key pillar in delivering Saudi Vision 2030's targets for a diversified and sustainable economy.
