Microsoft – Saudi Arabia

Founded in 1975 in the United States, Microsoft quickly became established as the world leader in software services and solutions. Well over 90 percent of the world’s computers run on Microsoft software.

As an industry leader Microsoft is fully committed to helping companies and people realize their full potential – from the largest enterprise, through mid-sized companies and small start-ups, to individual home users.

In 1998 Microsoft opened its first Saudi Arabia office in Riyadh, which was quickly followed by branch offices in Jeddah and Al Khobar thus establishing a presence in the Kingdom’s main business centers and confirming its long term commitment to Saudi Arabia and its people.

Throughout this period Microsoft has invested heavily in the Kingdom and has played a major role in the development of the country’s IT infrastructure - supporting governmental bodies, companies, educational institutions, NGOs, and home users.  It is deeply involved in the Saudi e-government project and is focused on helping foster a healthy and growing partner ecosystem.

As an organization that is so integrated within the social and commercial environment, Microsoft strongly believes in corporate social responsibility and demonstrates it through citizenship programs for young Saudis, women and people with special needs.
