Microsoft

For more than 30 years, Microsoft has worked with customers and partners in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) to understand the region’s unique challenges. By collaborating with key stakeholders to empower individuals and communities with the right tools and capabilities to advance human and organizational achievement we aim to accelerate more inclusive digital economic development. Microsoft’s products and services are at the heart of countless innovations, and we continue to be a voice for inclusive change, driving MEA forward into the digital future. It’s our belief that technology should be a force for good and that meaningful innovation can contribute in big and small ways.

As it stands, the Middle East and Africa can be likened to a sleeping giant with powerful potential to lead the world’s energy transition and build a greener future. Beyond the clear opportunity in renewable energy, there is much to be gained from the region’s exponential rate of technology adoption. Almost half of business leaders say more than 50 percent of their assets are in the cloud, meaning powerful foundations are already in place to create solutions to MEA’s greatest climate change challenges.
