EY and Microsoft have expanded their strategic collaboration in Saudi Arabia with the introduction of EY Studio+, a platform designed to accelerate digital transformation and innovation across the Kingdom’s public and private sectors.

The enhanced partnership builds on the two companies’ existing cooperation in cloud services, artificial intelligence and data analytics.

Through EY Studio+, organisations in Saudi Arabia will gain access to integrated design, technology and business transformation services, combining EY’s advisory expertise with Microsoft’s cloud and digital infrastructure.

The initiative is aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy, which prioritises economic diversification, digital enablement and the development of advanced technology ecosystems.

By leveraging Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and AI capabilities alongside EY’s sector-focused consulting, the collaboration aims to support enterprises in modernising operations, enhancing customer experience and improving regulatory compliance.

Executives from both companies described the expansion as a step toward fostering innovation hubs within the Kingdom, strengthening local talent development and driving sustainable digital growth.

The addition of EY Studio+ is expected to provide Saudi organisations with end-to-end services, from strategic design and user experience to technology implementation and managed services.

Saudi Arabia has emerged as a key regional market for technology investment, with government-backed initiatives encouraging cloud adoption, smart city development and advanced analytics.

The reinforced alliance between EY and Microsoft underscores international confidence in the Kingdom’s digital transformation trajectory and its growing role as a technology hub in the Middle East.

The expanded collaboration is anticipated to support sectors including financial services, energy, healthcare and government services, reflecting a broader push to embed innovation and digital capabilities across the national economy.
