Injazat, the UAE's home-grown technology champion, has signed deals with KSA conglomerate Nesma, with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) and with the Arab Youth Centre at the recently concluded Gitex.

 

The first agreement seeks to establish ‘Nesma Injazat’ a new technology joint venture starting operations this month in Riyadh and Jeddah.

 

Injazat will collaborate with MoHAP to explore a new digital platform that will centralise all primary healthcare needs for patients and providers.

 

Mentor and train youth

The third agreement seeks to mentor and train youth in the fields of artificial intelligence, technological innovation, and machine learning.

 

In the presence of Mansoor Al Mansoori, Chairman of Injazat and Faisal Alturki, Chairman and President of Nesma; Ussama Dahabiyeh, CEO of Injazat, and Salah Al Sunaid, CEO of NIT, formalised the agreement during a signing ceremony at Gitex Global.

 

The new company will offer services that include enterprise applications, cloud infrastructure, and cyber defense laying the groundwork for Saudi Arabia's next generation of technology-driven economic growth. Injazat's expertise and proven track record in building agile, bespoke industry solutions combined with Nesma's market experience and customer knowledge, is set to fast-track the kingdom's digital economy goals by co-creating transformational digital platforms and services through public-private partnerships (PPP).

 

Nesma Injazat will play a critical role in supporting organisations across various sectors that include healthcare, smart cities, energy, and construction across the Kingdom, developing its IT and digital infrastructure with a three-year expansion plan for each. 

 

Catalyst to developing business

Dahabiyeh said: "It gives me great pleasure to announce our joint venture with Nesma Infrastructure & Technology which will become a catalyst to developing our businesses and supporting the kingdom as it pursues an ambitious digital transformation plan. We have been waiting for the right opportunity to expand into Saudi Arabia to make an impact by solving complex industry problems and helping them realise their business goals faster. Nesma shares a strategic innovation mindset with Injazat, and so has proven to be a natural partner for this opportunity. Together, we will be actively driving and pioneering the future technology landscape of Saudi Arabia."

 

Alsunaid said: “For the past 40 years, Nesma has been at the helm of multibillion dollar projects helping build the kingdom’s most ambitious and challenging projects ranging across various sectors including construction, energy, aviation, and of course infrastructure, and technology solutions. Combined with Injazat's expertise and innovation our joint venture will add momentum towards realising Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s ambitious Vision 2030 goals.” Injazat and Nesma have appointed Gianluca Meloni as the interim CEO of the JV. 

 

MoHAP signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Injazat to accelerate digital transformation and provide advanced, full-fledged health services.

 

Digital health solutions

The collaboration targets the development of multiple digital health solutions, in line with the Ministry’s strategic objectives to provide innovative and advanced technology-based and AI-integrated services. 

 

The MoU also comes in response to the government’s ambitions towards making the UAE a leading international destination in smart healthcare. 

 

The MoU was signed by Ahmed Al Dashti, Assistant Undersecretary for the Support Services Sector in MoHAP, and Dr Al Mansoori.

 

Innovative Platform 

The agreement will see MoHAP leverage Injazat’s technological capabilities to launch digital solutions that can provide seamless and improved healthcare. Both parties will work together to enable a single, unified platform for patients and providers, as well as establish a strong digital strategy to help all stakeholders adapt to emerging healthcare trends and improve patient experience.

 

The Arab Youth Centre and Injazat will collaborate to empower the youth with ai and digital transformation skills.

 

Shamma bint Suhail Al Mazrui, UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Vice-Chair of the Arab Youth Centre, and Al Mansoori signed the agreement.

 

Young Arab leaders

As per the agreement, the two parties will cooperate to prepare young Arab leaders specialised in the fields of artificial intelligence, technological innovation, and machine learning. This collaboration includes organising sessions, workshops, and meetings with technology experts, focusing on developing young talents, and providing a platform for training and developing Arab youth in the fields of advanced technology, specifically artificial intelligence applications, programming, cybersecurity, and smart applications. 

 

Al Mazrui emphasised that the future of work for youth will be based on technology and its applications at the individual, institutional, governmental, and state levels, as statistics show that $136 billion was invested globally in cloud computing last year, $110 billion in Web 3.0, and $5 billion in industrial-scale machine learning.-- TradeArabia News Service
