Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi-based AI startup Velents secured a place in Anthropic’s global Claude Partner Network, becoming the first Arab company to join the ecosystem as it seeks to expand the deployment of enterprise AI solutions across the Middle East.

As per a recent press release, this milestone strengthens Velents’ position in the regional AI market and expands its ability to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, and Oman.

Through the partnership, the company will integrate Anthropic’s Claude models with its own locally developed AI systems, enabling organizations to deploy advanced automation tools while complying with regional data residency and privacy requirements.

Velents said its AI solutions are already being used by government entities and major financial institutions in the region, supporting tasks such as workflow automation, document management, and recruitment processes.

Mohamed Jaber, co-founder and CEO of Velents, said the company has spent the past three years building AI infrastructure that government agencies and large enterprises can operate within their own digital environments. He added that joining the Claude Partner Network combines local deployment expertise with one of the world’s leading AI platforms.

As part of the network, Velents will gain access to specialized technical training, professional certifications, early product updates, and direct support from Anthropic, helping enhance its offerings for both public and private sector clients.

The company reported that its AI solutions have reduced operational costs by up to 88%, accelerated public-sector job application processing by 80%, and achieved a 94% accuracy rate in screening and analysis tasks. Last year, Velents also closed a $1.5 million funding round backed by angel investors, coinciding with the launch of Agent.sa, its Arabic-native AI employee platform for enterprises.
