Saudi Arabia: No China for Google
February 5, 2018
I read “Alphabet Set to Power Major Saudi Arabia Tech Expansion.” Google has not been able to get US scale traction in China. Perhaps it was due to a business misstep or the “viewpoint from the Middle Kingdom.”
If the information in ITPortal’s article is accurate, Google wants to be a very good partner for Saudi Arabia via Aramco.
I learned:
Alphabet is planning a major expansion in Saudi Arabia that could see the region emerge as the next significant technology centre.
Innovation is alive and well in the Middle East.
Alphabet, the parent of Google, will:
see Alphabet assist Aramco in building data centers across Saudi Arabia, although it’s not know exactly what function these facilities would aid just yet.
United Arab Emirates also has an innovation push underway.
Will Alphabet Google be able to nurture its new relationship? Worth watching because suggestions for changes a company should make offered by Googlers may have interesting consequences.
