In May, together with Aramco, Pasqal inaugurated Saudi Arabia's first quantum computer at Aramco's data center in Dhahran, alongside the Middle East's first commercial Quantum Computing-as-a-Service platform. More recently, Pasqal and Eleven Ventures announced plans to establish a joint venture focused on deploying, commercializing and scaling quantum computing systems across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. The company's growing engagement in the Kingdom has also included a recent visit by a senior Saudi ministerial delegation, led by His Excellency Abdullah Alswaha, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, to Pasqal's headquarters and quantum computer production facility in France. Together, these developments underscore Pasqal's expanding contribution to Saudi Arabia's quantum ecosystem, spanning research, infrastructure, industrial applications and workforce development. Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, CEO of Pasqal, said: "This initiative builds on Saudi Arabia's growing investment in quantum technologies and demonstrates Pasqal's continued deep engagement and commitment to the Kingdom regarding the development and utilization of quantum technologies." "Saudi Arabia is demonstrating a remarkable ambition to build the technologies and capabilities that will shape the next generation of computing. For Pasqal, our work in the Kingdom goes well beyond deploying quantum hardware. We want to build long-term partnerships, develop practical applications and contribute to an ecosystem capable of turning quantum computing into real industrial and economic value." As part of that ongoing commitment, Dr. Bokhari will deliver a keynote address today at LEAP 2026, where he will discuss the transition of quantum computing from scientific research toward industrial-scale applications and the growing role quantum technologies can play in supporting economic growth and innovation. The KACST collaboration forms part of broader efforts to strengthen Saudi Arabia's research, development and innovation ecosystem in quantum technologies, expand international scientific collaborations and support the Kingdom's Vision 2030 objectives.
