Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: HUMAIN, the PIF-backed artificial intelligence company, announced the launch of its AI cloud in Saudi Arabia, powered by NVIDIA HGX B300 Blackwell Ultra accelerated computing systems to support government and enterprise AI workloads.

Announced during the LEAP 2026 Conference, the locally hosted platform provides organizations with access to advanced computing infrastructure for developing, customizing, and deploying AI models and applications. HUMAIN said the cloud is already supporting customers across the Kingdom, including the Saudi Ministry of Commerce, which is using the infrastructure for AI-enabled commercial services such as regulatory inspections, fraud detection and business registration.

The platform currently provides 1.1 megawatts of operational AI infrastructure capacity and has recorded more than 90% utilization of its current cluster. HUMAIN plans to expand its AI cloud infrastructure to 35.1 megawatts by 2027.

The company said its cloud supports the AI lifecycle from model development and customization to inference and production deployment, while locally hosted computing can help address privacy and data sovereignty requirements.

The launch forms part of HUMAIN’s broader AI infrastructure strategy with NVIDIA, which includes plans to develop AI factories in Saudi Arabia with projected capacity of up to 500 megawatts over five years.

The fifth edition of LEAP 2026 runs from 31 August to 3 September at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, north of Riyadh.

The event is expected to attract more than 1,000 global speakers and experts, 1,800 technology companies, 600 startups and 1,900 investors and venture capital representatives, highlighting Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a hub for technology and innovation.
