Blaize, Technology Control Company Partner to Power Saudi Arabia’s Next-Generation AI Innovation Infrastructure
September 17, 2025 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Blaize Holdings, Inc., a leader in programmable, energy-efficient edge AI computing, and Technology Control Company (TCC), a leading technology solutions provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), announced a strategic partnership to advance Saudi Arabia’s AI innovation infrastructure and accelerate its digital transformation goals.
Blaize and TCC will develop robust infrastructure that supports next-generation technologies, strengthens local capabilities, and creates a foundation for smarter, scalable, more secure digital ecosystems across both public and private sectors. This initiative builds on Blaize’s AI Platform, a sovereign-capable, programmable hybrid AI infrastructure already accelerating large-scale deployments across Asia, through partners like Starshine Computing Power Technology Limited and other smart public-sector initiatives in South Asia.
This collaboration will combine Blaize’s hybrid AI technology with TCC’s regional expertise to deliver energy-efficient and secure AI solutions tailored to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) industries. The partnership includes joint training and solution workshops, co-development of AI applications for public safety and smart infrastructure, and a clear path to bring these innovations to market through TCC’s customer network.
“We are committed to building a foundation for technological leadership in the Kingdom,” said Dr. Bandar Al-Haqbani, CEO of TCC. “Our partnership with Blaize enables us to deliver impactful solutions across key industries while strengthening local capabilities and accelerating digital transformation. We see strong alignment with Blaize’s success in other global markets, particularly in sovereign AI infrastructure rollouts – momentum we are excited to replicate and expand here in the Kingdom.”
“At Blaize, our goal is to power smarter, safer, and more efficient industries through hybrid AI,” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO and co-founder of Blaize. “Partnering with TCC brings that vision to life in Saudi Arabia, where demand for cutting-edge innovation is rapidly growing. Building on the momentum of our hybrid AI infrastructure deployments, this collaboration further expands our global footprint while opening the door to transformative opportunities across the Kingdom – from smart infrastructure to intelligent services and beyond. This positions Blaize and TCC to deliver AI infrastructure that is durable and future-ready for Saudi Arabia’s most critical environments.”
The collaboration reflects Blaize’s continued engagement with leading global partners to accelerate hybrid AI adoption. It builds on recent strategic initiatives with organizations such as Starshine Computing Power Technology Limited, BroadSat Technologies, Turbo Federal, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and the Chungbuk Innovation Institute of Science and Technology.
