Intel announced the launch of the ‘Intel Digital Transformation Initiative for the Middle East’, a comprehensive, multi-year program that will expand Intel’s economic, educational and technology-related support throughout the region.
Under this program, Intel will increase its investment in four key areas - local entrepreneurship, education, digital accessibility and specialized technical competencies - to help promote technology skills, knowledge transfer and jobs creation in the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa.
Brian Harrison, Intel vice president and general manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said,
‘The ‘Intel Digital Transformation Initiative for the Middle East’ reflects our long-term commitment to the development of new technology centers in key Middle East markets. Intel has made pioneering technology investments in emerging markets around the world, and we see great promise for technology advances in this fast-growing region. The initiatives we will undertake through our ‘Digital Transformation’ program are critical building blocks for further capital investments.’
