Lenovo announced the official opening of its Regional Headquarters in Riyadh (RHQ), to serve West Asia and Africa. This marks a strategic step in the company’s long-term investment in the Kingdom and its goal to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives.

The official opening was marked by a formal ceremony attended by the Minister of Investment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Fahad bin Abduljalil Al‑Saif, alongside senior government officials, strategic partners, and Lenovo leaders.

Fahad bin Abduljalil Al‑Saif, Minister of Investment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stated, “Lenovo’s decision to establish its West Asia, Türkiye and Africa Regional Headquarters in Riyadh reflects the strength of the Kingdom’s partnership with leading global technology companies and the effectiveness of the Regional Headquarters Program. Lenovo’s continued investments in advanced manufacturing, supply chain localisation, talent development and regional operations demonstrate strong confidence in Saudi Arabia as a long‑term base for innovation and growth and contribute directly to our Vision 2030 objectives of building a competitive, diversified and export‑oriented economy.”

As part of the occasion, Lenovo also hosted a high‑level visit to its manufacturing site in Riyadh, welcoming the Minister of Investment, alongside several ministerial level officials from multiple government entities, as well as key CEOs from both the private and public sectors who were received by Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, President of GACA. During the visit, the delegation met with 28 Saudi graduate engineers who have recently returned from China after completing Lenovo’s Saudi Smart Manufacturing Graduate Programme, delivered in partnership with the Human Resources Development Fund, the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources and ALAT. Trained at Lenovo’s global manufacturing facilities, the graduates are now back in Riyadh, ready to apply world‑class expertise and become the next first generation of Saudi technical leaders at Lenovo’s facility.

The RHQ serves as Lenovo’s central hub for regional strategy; and operations across the West Asia and Africa region. The opening underscores Lenovo’s confidence in Saudi Arabia as a strategic base for regional decision making, innovation and collaboration, further strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a growing global technology and business center.
