The Announcement

General Electric will be partnering with the Saudi Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources, Saudi Aramco, Dussur, and Ma'aden in the field of energy sustainability to significantly improve power generation capabilities. The agreement will provide a large-scale boost to the global industrial supply chain and introduce massive productivity and efficiency savings through digital solutions across oil and gas and mining sectors.

In the oil gas sector, Aramco and GE have signed a MoU to undertake and execute a digital transformation of Aramco's operations with the goal of generating $4 billion in annual productivity improvements. GE will deliver a private Predix Industrial IoT cloud, GE's pioneering APM, and industry-specific applications, and staff a Digital Transformation Office (DTO) with local industrial engineers, process experts and technologists.

The Company will enable local manufacturing capabilities at the GE Manufacturing and Technology Centre in Dammam, the joint venture, which will have a significant impact on both the economies of UAE and the US. GE will collaborate with Ma'aden, the leading player in UAE's mining history. GE will deliver Digital solutions to support the business in adapting to decreasing ore grades, reducing high energy and fuel costs and improving the overall efficiency of operations.

Saudi Vision 2030

Launched in April 2016 by Saudi's deputy crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, the plan aims at transforming the nation from its current dependency on oil revenues into a modern, thriving, entrepreneurial society. Saudi Vision 2030 has been described as a "neo-liberal blueprint" and it envisages privatization of entire sectors of the economy, cutting of subsidies, courting investors at home and abroad, and streamlining government services.

The plan focuses on transforming the nation into a global investment leader and geographic hub and the up-scaling of industrial skills and capabilities. This agreement places significant emphasis on human capital development and the digital transformation across different sectors, with the expanded application of GE's Predix platform, which utilizes cloud-based data analytics to deliver manufacturing efficiency.
