HPE has expanded its ‘Saudi Made’ server portfolio by introducing HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 and DL380 Gen12 models, manufactured at the alfanar facility in Riyadh. These servers are intended to strengthen local production, diversify the economy, and enhance digital sovereignty by allowing data to be processed and stored within national borders. Following this, Lenovo announced at the LEAP 2026 event that it will begin limited mass production of its first Riyadh-manufactured laptops in late 2026. This move is part of a US$2 billion investment and collaboration with the Saudi industrial group ALAT. The facility is expected to eventually produce a broader range of products, including PCs, desktops, smartphones, and servers. Additionally, HP launched the HP Garage 2.0 incubator to support local startups and innovation in artificial intelligence. Lenovo has since unveiled its first laptop manufactured in Saudi Arabia, marking a milestone in efforts to establish a high-level manufacturing and innovation ecosystem within the Kingdom. This initiative, a collaboration with ALAT, aims to develop local industrial capabilities and support Lenovo’s regional and global supply chains. Beyond manufacturing, Lenovo has established its Middle East, Turkey, and Africa regional headquarters in Riyadh and is advancing plans for research and development facilities. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Lenovo unveils first laptop manufactured in Saudi Arabia Lenovo has unveiled its first laptop manufactured in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of an initiative to establish the Kingdom as a global technology and manufacturing hub. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lenovo-unveils-first-laptop-manufactured-in-riyadh ### 2026-08-26: HPE expands ‘Saudi Made’ server portfolio in Riyadh HPE has launched next-generation ‘Saudi Made’ ProLiant Gen12 servers in Riyadh to support Saudi Vision 2030 and enhance local digital sovereignty and technology production. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hpe-expands-saudi-made-server-portfolio-in-riyadh --- Cite as: Technology manufacturing expansion in Saudi Arabia.
