Through Garage 2.0, HP aims to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions by supporting education, skills development and collaboration, helping strengthen local capabilities and create the conditions for ideas to evolve into meaningful impact and long-term opportunity. The initiative reflects HP’s belief that lasting innovation is driven not only by technology, but by investing in people and creating opportunities for them to succeed.
“Saudi Arabia has created remarkable momentum in innovation, and the opportunity now is to ensure the next generation has the skills, confidence and opportunities to build on it,” said Fadle Saad, Managing Director, Regional Headquarters, HP. “Inspired by the original HP Garage, Garage 2.0 reflects our belief that lasting innovation starts with people.
