During GITEX 2025, Marc Domenech, Regional Director, Enterprise META, NVIDIA summarizes the gains NVIDIA has made through alliances and partnerships with regional governments and the enablement it has transferred into the region.
Other than GCC governments, NVIDIA is also partnering aggressively with OEMS including HPE, IBM, to boost AI enablement and successful use cases in the region. Domenech also discusses how NVIDIA is building its channel partner network inside GCC and its support for OEM channel partner networks; the types of AI use cases that GCC enterprises should focus on based on the macro-economic structure of the GCC region; and how does the GCC compare with other global regions in terms of AI hardware and compute adoption.
