Google Cloud to Drive Innovation at AlUla
The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has entered into a collaboration with Google Cloud, marking a key step forward in establishing northwest Arabia as a hub for digital growth and innovation.
Under the agreement, RCU will establish the AlUla Skills Lab (ASL) to provide residents of AlUla with cutting-edge digital skills, highlighting RCU’s commitment to digital transformation and human capacity development in the region.
RCU will invite 3,000 people from AlUla to enroll in courses with an aim to flourish their knowledge and capabilities in areas such as AI, cloud computing, data analytics, as well as complementary digital fields.
The courses will be offered both in-person and online across three distinct learning tracks: Foundational and Professional Digital Skills, Data and Artificial Intelligence, and Cloud Computing.
Additionally, the new AlUla Skills Lab will welcome students, educators, and enthusiasts from AlUla to enhance their knowledge and capabilities by immersing themselves in a range of Google Cloud’s suite of digital tools and services.
Members of the community who are interested to upgrade their digital knowledge and job skills can also apply. The courses will be open to anyone who is eager to explore about the latest technological developments and applications offered by Google Cloud.
The inclusive nature of the AlUla Skills Lab (ASL) initiative has been designed to complement RCU’s long-term Human Capacity Development goals. Under the collaboration an official Google Innovation Lab in AlUla will also be established, to foster innovation and promote digital literacy.
A major component in RCU’s mission to regenerate AlUla is the comprehensive roll out of new smart and digital services that will enhance the day-to-day experience for residents, businesses, and investors.
Empowering a tech-savvy workforce in AlUla will support the development of a widespread expansion of smart digital services that will fuel the sustainable growth and long-term diversification of the economy in northwest Arabia and across the wider Kingdom.
Mohammed Alshkrah, Human Capability Development VP at RCU, stated that, “The digital transformation of AlUla depends on uplifting the capabilities of residents of all ages, to equip them with the skills and know-how they need to compete in today’s modern and tech-driven economy. Working alongside Google Cloud, the undisputed leaders in tech and innovation, will allow RCU to leverage a network of global innovation along with cutting-edge digital tools and services that will help us to meet our long-term vision of empowering a digitally competent and globally competitive workforce, right here in AlUla.”
