\nSnowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, hosted its flagship Data for Breakfast event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at the Crowne Plaza Riyadh RDC Hotel & Convention. The event brought together technology leaders, data professionals, and innovators from across the Kingdom to explore how businesses can unlock the full potential of their data through AI, analytics, and applications.
\nAttendees discovered how the Snowflake platform empowers organisations to activate data across data lakehouses, mesh architectures, and warehouses through a keynote presentation on the AI Data Cloud, followed by customer-led sessions from O3ai, a smart factory platform, and Foodics, a cloud-based restaurant management and POS solution. The event also featured a live demo highlighting the platform\u2019s performance, simplicity, and scalability. With PwC reporting that 81% of CEOs in the Kingdom have embraced AI in the past year, the sessions underscored how data is the foundation for building impactful AI strategies that deliver real-world value.
\nMohamed Zouari, General Manager, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa at Snowflake, said: “In Saudi Arabia, AI is becoming a national priority, and organisations are scaling AI use cases built on robust data strategies. Our investment in the Kingdom, including our regional HQ and local cloud deployment, enables us to support data sovereignty and drive forward Vision 2030. Our annual Data for Breakfast demonstrates how the Snowflake AI Data Cloud is turning strategy into execution \u2014 offering a practical roadmap for enterprises to unlock business value and realise measurable ROI through secure, governed, and scalable AI innovation.”
\nMohamed Abuobaida, VP of Data at Foodics, added: “In the fast-moving F&B industry, the ability to act on data in real-time is a game changer. With Snowflake, we\u2019re able to unify our data landscape and deliver insights at scale, whether it’s to enhance customer experiences, optimise operations, or fuel innovation across our platform.
