Magna AI, Inc., the global integrated-value-chain sovereign AI transformation leader established through a partnership between Trend Micro and Wistron Digital Technology Holding Company (WDH), powered by NVIDIA, today announced partnership with MBUZZ, a Saudi-headquartered ICT infrastructure and integration company. Together, the companies will deliver AI infrastructure and transformation services to enterprises across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.
The collaboration combines Magna AI’s AI enablement and enterprise transformation capabilities with MBUZZ’s infrastructure integration across compute, storage, networking, and high-performance computing. Together, the companies aim to give organizations the technology foundations and transformation services required to move AI from experimentation into production. It will also help businesses across the region design and adopt AI infrastructure, secure AI platforms, and sector-specific applications, supported by AI security, secure operations, and skills development programs.
The partnership comes at a time as enterprise AI investment accelerates across the Middle East and Africa. According to IDC the Middle East and Africa are now the fastest-growing region in the world for AI infrastructure investment, as governments and enterprises move AI from experimentation into production. For enterprises, the question is shifting from whether to invest in AI toward how to embed it into the business and generate measurable value.
As that shift gathers pace, enterprise AI requirements are extending well beyond access to models or compute. Moving AI into production requires organizations to align infrastructure, data, platforms, security, governance and operating models around business outcomes. Magna AI and MBUZZ intend to support organizations across the full lifecycle, from AI readiness assessments and transformation roadmaps to infrastructure design and integration, data and platform enablement, and the execution of large-scale AI programs.
For enterprises building more demanding AI environments, the companies will also collaborate on AI Data Center and AI Factory capabilities that bring together compute, storage, networking, data pipelines, model pipelines and AI operations. These environments are designed to support a growing range of enterprise AI workloads, including large-scale model training and fine-tuning, inference and agentic AI applications, while meeting requirements around security, governance, resilience and regulatory compliance.
“Enterprise AI is entering a very different phase, one defined less by how organizations access AI and more by how they operationalize, integrate it into the business, and scale it responsibly,” said Dr. Moataz BinAli, Chief Executive Officer, Magna AI. “Infrastructure is fundamental to that journey, and by combining MBUZZ’s infrastructure and integration capabilities with Magna AI’s full-stack AI and transformation expertise, we can help companies across the Middle East and Africa move from AI ambition to sustained business impact.”
With a presence spanning Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Morocco, MBUZZ brings an established footprint across the Middle East and Africa to the collaboration. Combined with Magna AI’s integrated AI capabilities, this regional reach positions the companies to engage enterprises as they strengthen their foundations, scale AI adoption and build the capabilities to compete in increasingly digital and AI-driven markets.
“Our customers want AI that works within the realities of their business, which means infrastructure, integration, and transformation delivered together and supported locally,” said Mr. Fawwaz Alshammari, Managing Director, MBUZZ. “By combining our regional footprint and integration expertise with Magna AI’s AI capabilities, we can help enterprises across the Middle East and Africa move from ambition to production and build for their next phase of growth.”
