"The fund, announced during President Trump's visit to Riyadh in May 2025, will be managed through a new venture called Humain, an AI-focused company backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF). The capital will flow toward artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductor development, and data center construction, with early partnerships already confirmed with major US technology firms including AMD, Qualcomm, and Oracle."
"Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 framework, launched in 2016, was the inflection point. Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom began treating technological self-sufficiency as a matter of national survival rather than prestige. The $100 billion fund represents the most concrete financial instrument of that philosophy to date."
Saudi Arabia announced a $100 billion technology investment fund managed through Humain, an AI-focused company backed by the Public Investment Fund, during President Trump's May 2025 visit to Riyadh. The capital targets artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductor development, and data center construction, with partnerships established with major US technology firms including AMD, Qualcomm, and Oracle. This initiative represents the most ambitious financial commitment yet to the kingdom's economic transformation. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 framework, launched in 2016, established the foundation for treating technological self-sufficiency as a national priority. The fund's focus on AI infrastructure positions Saudi Arabia as a compute hub providing physical and digital infrastructure.
