36Zero Partners with AstroLabs to Expand in Saudi Arabia

36Zero, a pioneer in AI and IoT solutions for the construction, mining, and oil & gas industries, has recently set its sights on Saudi Arabia for its latest expansion.

This move, facilitated by AstroLabs, underscores the company's strategic intent to play a significant role in the Kingdom's ambitious urban and infrastructural development plans.

Already a significant player in the region with its base in Spain and the UAE, this expansion marks a significant step in 36Zero's commitment to contribute to the future of construction and urban development globally.

36Zero inaugurated its new office in Riyadh, signaling its deep-seated commitment to the region's construction and urban development sectors.

This development is part of the UK-based company's strategy to embed itself within the Saudi economy, where it has already established a significant presence by participating in mega projects like NEOM and New Murabba.

36Zero boasts a history of collaborations and partnerships with industry giants, including Oracle and AtkinsRealis, and key Saudi entities such as the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Shamal Technologies, and WhiteHelmet.

These relationships are instrumental in 36Zero's efforts to digitize aspects of construction management like labor mobilization, project cost control, as well as worker safety and welfare, especially for the Kingdom's vast migrant workforce.

The company's success in these areas aligns with Saudi Arabia's goals to enhance productivity, operational efficiency, and safety compliance across its strategic sectors.

As 36Zero embarks on its new chapter in Saudi Arabia, the company is looking to expand its clientele and forge partnerships with leading industry players such as Aramco, Ma'aden, and the Diriyah Company in the coming year.

The company's venture into Saudi Arabia is timely, coinciding with the Kingdom's preparations for global events like the Riyadh Expo 2030 and the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

David Redmond, the Founder and CEO of 36Zero, emphasized the strategic importance of the Saudi market, highlighting the country's $1 trillion active infrastructure project pipeline as a unique opportunity for 36Zero to lead in the digital transformation of heavy industries.

Redmond expressed gratitude towards UK Export Finance (UKEF), the Department of Business & Trade, and the Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC) for their support, alongside AstroLabs, which has been pivotal in facilitating this expansion.

Alex Nicholls, Director of Expansion at AstroLabs, cited 36Zero's innovative products, experienced leadership, and the growing market demand as key factors driving the company's potential to enhance major project outcomes in Saudi Arabia.

By aligning its goals with those of Vision 2030, 36Zero is set to play a crucial role in the Kingdom's large-scale project success and sustainability.
