During the period, Zain KSA continued implementing its strategy to enhance operational efficiency and diversify revenue sources. This included developing its digital infrastructure and expanding its portfolio of services and solutions for individuals, businesses, and government entities. The company also strengthened its operations in parallel markets, including its digital “Yaqoot” services and “Tamam Finance,” while expanding into fintech, digital insurance, and integrated digital solutions.
Zain KSA Chief Executive Officer, Engineer Saad Abdulrahman Al Sadhan, said: “At Zain KSA, we continue to develop our business and strengthen our digital capabilities through targeted investments that support our operational efficiency and business diversification. This enhances our ability to meet market needs and capitalize on growth opportunities in the digital economy. We believe that the true value of technology lies in its impact on people’s lives and organizations’ operations. For this reason, we focus on delivering innovative digital solutions that contribute to developing vital sectors and create sustainable value for our customers, partners, and shareholders, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.”
He added: “Regarding digital infrastructure development, Zain KSA signed a memorandum of understanding with DataVolt to establish data centers, aiming to strengthen digital infrastructure and support the Kingdom’s data economy and artificial intelligence sector. The company also continued enhancing its network capabilities by launching advanced 5G services, as well as deploying the Kingdom’s first commercial Full Duplex fixed wireless link—an industry first in Saudi Arabia that contributes to improving communications efficiency and strengthening network capacity.”
The company is developing an “AI Center of Excellence” to expand the use of artificial intelligence across its operations and services. It has also partnered with Red Hat to develop digital infrastructure, enhance system resilience, and support innovation in digital solutions.
The impact of Zain KSA’s digital solutions has also extended to the healthcare sector. Advanced communications technologies provided by the company supported the completion of 11 robotic surgeries in Riyadh, Jazan, and Hail, including a lung resection procedure recognized as a global achievement. This was carried out in partnership with the Innovation Enablement Center at Virtual Health Hospital, with the company providing the connectivity required to support advanced medical applications. The initiative reflects the role of digital infrastructure in enabling innovation and advancing healthcare services.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance, the company also launched the “Electronic System for Mosque Affairs in the Kingdom,” the largest Saudi technology project in this field. The system aims to use modern technologies to improve mosque management efficiency and develop their services, supporting digital transformation in the sector.
In the field of sustainability, Zain KSA launched “EcoFusion” towers designed to improve energy efficiency across its telecommunications infrastructure. The company also published its corporate sustainability report, reviewing its performance and initiatives across environmental, social, and governance areas. It maintained its AA rating in MSCI ESG Ratings, reflecting its continued efforts to strengthen sustainability practices and responsible governance.
These achievements reflect Zain KSA’s strategy to enable a beautiful, smart, and sustainable world, strengthen its role in developing the national digital ecosystem, and support digital transformation across sectors—contributing to the growth of the digital economy and the realization of Saudi Vision 2030.
