Huawei Cloud powers Saudi digital transformation with 2025 Developer Conference
The conference brought together developers, entrepreneurs, and startup leaders from across the Kingdom, providing a platform to showcase Huawei Cloud's growing suite of AI-powered and cloud-native development tools. Designed to strengthen the country's digital infrastructure and build a more empowered developer ecosystem, the event demonstrated how global technology players are increasingly aligning with Saudi Arabia's fast-evolving digital economy. A central focus of the conference was on equipping local developers with specialised training, advanced tools, and globally recognised certifications. Attendees were introduced to Huawei's flagship initiatives such as the Huawei Cloud Developer Program (HCDP), the Huawei Cloud Startup Program, and the Huawei Cloud Certified Developer for AI (HCCDX). These programmes provide a comprehensive ecosystem of support—blending technical training with business mentorship and international credentials—to help Saudi developers scale innovative solutions and build competitive careers. Reaffirming its long-term commitment to the Kingdom, Huawei revealed plans to expand its cloud services from over 90 currently available offerings to more than 200, supported by three Availability Zones in the Riyadh Region. The company has also secured the prestigious 'Class C' certification from Saudi Arabia's Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST), the highest classification for cloud platforms in the country. This certification confirms Huawei Cloud's adherence to stringent local and international standards on security, performance, and reliability. Read: The event also featured several demonstrations of Huawei's latest AI and software infrastructure. One of the standout innovations was ModelArts, the company's advanced AI development platform that dramatically reduces the time needed to deploy AI solutions—from months to just days. Built on high-performance AI cloud servers, ModelArts is already supporting a range of applications in smart cities, digital humans, and smart universities, positioning Huawei at the forefront of real-world AI deployment in the region. Additionally, Huawei presented CodeArts, its unified DevSecOps platform, which allows development teams to securely build, test, and deploy applications directly in the cloud. Supporting more than 20 programming languages and offering extensive code scanning and integration features, CodeArts is designed to streamline cloud migration and deliver a secure, modern development experience for enterprises and startups alike. Real-world case studies shared at the event further underlined the impact of Huawei Cloud's presence in Saudi Arabia. Partners including Systems Arabia, FanRuan, and NAS Solutions highlighted how Huawei's AI-powered cloud tools helped them accelerate innovation, scale operations, and bring new digital solutions to market. Huawei Cloud's continued investment in infrastructure, training, and partner enablement underscores its strategic role in supporting Saudi Arabia's ambition to become a leading digital economy. The 2025 Developer Conference represents another step forward in building a vibrant local innovation ecosystem—one where developers are not only empowered with the latest technology, but also actively shaping the Kingdom's digital future.

Optus partners with Nokia to strengthen reliability of Voice with cloud-native solution supporting the deployment of new 5G enhanced voice services
Press Release Optus partners with Nokia to strengthen reliability of Voice with cloud-native solution supporting the deployment of new 5G enhanced voice services 31 July 2025 Espoo, Finland – Optus, the second largest operator in Australia, is extending its existing partnership with Nokia and has contracted the company to refresh its Voice Platform (IP Multimedia Subsystem – IMS) and deliver highly resilient cloud-native voice services. Voice is an important service for Australia, and with this new platform Optus will deliver highly reliable and efficient 5G voice services to over 10 million customers. Nokia's IMS platform ( Cloud Native Communication Suite – CNCS ) is cloud native, operationally efficient and has lower energy consumption, making it the right platform for addressing the needs of Australian consumers. 'Reliability is the cornerstone of Optus' Network strategy, and Voice is one of the most critical services provided by Optus. Nokia CNCS provides us with a new and highly flexible pathway that will allow us to improve network resiliency, security and enhance the subscriber experience with better and faster time-to-market services, through both on-premise and cloud deployment that assists in better quality and customer experience through a matrix of intelligent automation tools,' said Tony Baird, Chief Technology Officer at Optus. The containerized CNCS will be run on Red Hat OpenShift, the leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, which is also Optus' preferred CaaS provider. 'We are pleased to further expand our Optus collaboration with Nokia's cloud-native CNCS architecture and accelerate the delivery of new 5G services in multi-cloud environments with intelligent automation and intent-based operations. By simplifying network complexity, CNCS allows operators to respond faster to customer needs and deliver a superior, frictionless experience,' said Raghav Sahgal, President of Cloud and Network Services at Nokia. The Nokia Core Network portfolio is fully cloud native which makes it much easier for operators to run their full 4G/5G Core in cloud-native network functions. About Nokia At Nokia, we create technology that helps the world act together.
