On 60th anniversary, Lamborghini showcases legacy in Riyadh

Automobili Lamborghini have begun hosting a series of exclusive events across the world to commemorate Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary. As part of the celebrations in Saudi Arabia, Lamborghini Riyadh invited guests from all over the Kingdom for an exclusive Lamborghini Bull Run in the capital. The event showcased the power and performance of the brand’s iconic cars, and guests had the opportunity to experience a thrilling drive around the city. The evening culminated in a gala dinner hosted by Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and CEO Stephan Winkelmann.

In honor of the 60th anniversary, Lamborghini commissioned a local artist Nugamshi to create a unique art piece on the bonnet of a Lamborghini Urus. The design incorporated Arabic calligraphy, beautifully illustrating the fusion of Italian design and Arabic culture. The artwork was unveiled at the gala dinner, and will be on display at Lamborghini’s showroom. 

Winkelmann said: “We are happy to celebrate Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary in Saudi Arabia and in the Middle East region, a country with a rich history and passion for luxury and high-performance vehicles. This event is proof of Lamborghini’s commitment to innovation, design, quality and performance, and we are excited to share this special moment with our customers and guests in this region.”

“It’s such a fantastic time to be part of the Lamborghini story. For the brand to reach this milestone anniversary is a wonderful achievement, and we look forward to continuing this legacy for many years to come,” said Abdul Aziz Moolla, general manager of Lamborghini Saudi Arabia.

The Riyadh event was attended by Lamborghini Saudi Arabia’s VIP guests and customers, who had the opportunity to explore the various Lamborghini display cars and get a glimpse into the world of the Italian brand.

The 60th-anniversary celebration in Saudi Arabia is just one of the many events that Lamborghini has planned this year to mark the special occasion. Now into its seventh decade, the company will continue to push the boundaries of automotive excellence and offer its customers the best in luxury, design and performance.

Schneider Electric launches academy in Saudi Arabia to build future-ready talent

Schneider Electric has announced the launch of the Energy Tech Academy Middle East and Africa in Saudi Arabia, a regional capability platform dedicated to skilling, upskilling, and knowledge sharing.

The launch comes at a critical moment as the Kingdom accelerates energy transition, industrial localization, and human capability development under Vision 2030. The academy reinforces the Kingdom’s leadership role in building future-ready talent while supporting industrial and energy transformation across the wider Middle East and Africa region.

The Energy Tech Academy Middle East and Africa is not a traditional training center; it is a regional platform translating Schneider Electric’s global energy technology expertise into applied capability for Saudi Arabia and the broader region. Anchored in Riyadh, the academy is designed to serve as a benchmark for skills development and enablement across the MEA.

The launch reflects Schneider Electric’s long-term commitment to investing in people and capabilities, and to supporting national priorities across energy, industry, and digital infrastructure.

Mohamed Shaheen, cluster president of Schneider Electric Saudi Arabia and Yemen, said: “This launch reflects our long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia and to building capability that lasts. After more than 40 years in the Kingdom, we continue to invest where impact matters most: in people. Launching the Energy Tech Academy Middle East and Africa from Riyadh underscores our belief that sustainable transformation is built on local capability and trusted partnerships.”

The academy directly supports Saudi Arabia’s focus on human capability development, localization, and Saudi-made outcomes by enabling the skills behind advanced energy systems, industrial automation, and digital infrastructure. Capabilities developed through the academy will support Saudi manufacturing, national projects, and resilient supply chains, while also strengthening regional industrial ecosystems.

“The Energy Tech Academy Middle East and Africa is designed to enable real outcomes,” said Walid Sheta, zone president for the MEA at Schneider Electric. “By equipping talent with future-ready skills across electrification, automation, and digital intelligence, we are strengthening Saudi and regional capability to design, operate, and lead the energy and industrial systems of the future.”

The launch event in Riyadh brought together senior government representatives, industry partners, customers, and Schneider Electric’s leadership, highlighting the importance of cross-sector collaboration in aligning education, skills development, and labor market needs.

Designed as a long-term platform, the Energy Tech Academy Middle East and Africa will continue to evolve through partnerships, programs, and continuous capability development, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role as a regional hub for skills, knowledge, and industrial enablement.
