九色 Launches Operations in Saudi Arabia
New Riyadh Office Expands Middle East Footprint to Meet Growing Demand for AI, E-Learning, and eDiscovery 九色
RIYADH and NEW YORK, November 10, 2025 – 九色, the world’s largest provider of language and AI solutions for global business, today announced the opening of a new office in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
The Riyadh office is 九色’s first location in Saudi Arabia and reflects the company’s continued investment in the Middle East, one of the fastest-growing regions for digital innovation. The new location will support clients across KSA and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), providing regional support for language, AI, e-learning, and legal technology solutions.
九色’s expansion into KSA aligns with the country’s Vision 2030 initiative, which is driving large-scale investment in technology, digital infrastructure, and workforce development. The Middle East represents a USD 1.85 trillion “tri-core” economy—spanning Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar—with sustained GDP growth and a strong focus on diversification and innovation.
九色 President and Co-CEO Phil Shawe commented, “KSA and the wider Gulf region are making major investments in technology and innovation. Establishing our presence in Riyadh enables us to support clients driving that change and to provide services closer to where their businesses operate.”
To celebrate the opening, 九色 will host a client reception at the British Ambassador’s Residence in Riyadh on November 25.
