Built with a focus on addressing granular business pain points, the solution enables real-time compliance monitoring, multilingual transcription, and culturally relevant sentiment analysis.

Imran Moinuddin, senior vice president of data and AI at VentureDive, said: “AI empowers contact centers to revolutionize customer interactions by analyzing behaviors at an unprecedented scale. By delivering near real-time insights into both customer and agent dynamics, AI accelerates compliance assurance — achieving in moments what traditional quality review teams would take hours or even days to accomplish.

Underscoring VentureDive’s commitment to enabling enterprises and startups to become AI-first, Saad Fazil, COO of VentureDive, said: “Building something that truly understands the complexities of the Saudi and MENA markets, especially with Arabic dialects, was a real challenge. We’re not just throwing AI at a problem. We’re using it to make a real difference for our clients. Imagine cutting compliance review times from days to minutes. That’s the kind of tangible impact we’re delivering.”

This recognition reaffirms VentureDive’s ability to drive innovation through AI-powered solutions, empowering organizations to optimize their call/contact center operations, enhance customer satisfaction, and achieve operational excellence.

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.
