Strategic Partnership with AMPC and Zain KSA to Accelerate Saudi Arabia’s Future Factories Initiative
KoçDigital, Türkiye’s technology powerhouse and a subsidiary of Koç Holding, has announced a major expansion of its strategic footprint across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Making a significant impact at the Industrial Transformation Saudi Arabia (ITSA) 2025 exhibition, the company solidified its role as a key driver of the region’s Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The expansion is anchored by KoçDigital’s appointment as one of the 27 strategic technology partners for the Advanced Manufacturing and Production Center (AMPC). This collaboration is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, specifically supporting the Future Factories Program, which aims to digitally overhaul more than 4,000 factories across the Kingdom.
As a trusted partner in the MENA industrial ecosystem, KoçDigital is deploying its advanced AI and IoT capabilities to transition traditional manufacturing sites into smart, networked facilities. The program utilizes the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI), the only index approved by the World Economic Forum, to assess and elevate digital maturity.
Key Objectives of the Partnership:
- Operational Excellence: Reducing dependence on unskilled labor through automation.
- Productivity Gains: Leveraging AI to identify bottlenecks and optimize production cycles.
- Sustainability: Implementing energy-monitoring solutions to reduce carbon footprints.
During the ITSA 2025 event, KoçDigital formalized high-impact collaborations intended to merge cutting-edge AI with local market expertise.
| Partner | Nature of Collaboration |

The company’s strategic importance was further highlighted by visits from Prof. Dr. Emrullah İşler (Turkish Ambassador to Saudi Arabia) and H.E. Ahmed Al-Zawawi (Assistant Deputy Minister of the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources), underscoring the diplomatic and economic weight of KoçDigital’s regional role.
At the heart of KoçDigital’s offering is Platform360, an AI-infused manufacturing platform that creates an Operational Digital Twin of production environments. This allows leaders to monitor assets in real-time, predict maintenance needs, and manage energy consumption through a single, scalable dashboard.
“MENA is a strategic priority for us,” a KoçDigital spokesperson stated. “Our participation reflects a commitment to delivering scalable, end-to-end industrial solutions that enhance productivity and resilience across the region.”
By bridging the gap between raw sensor data and actionable business metrics, Platform360 enables factories to achieve Lighthouse-level manufacturing status, a global benchmark for operational excellence.
