Doha, Qatar: The Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) and Google Cloud have announced a strategic partnership aimed at significantly advancing Kahramaa's artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, driving digital transformation, and reinforcing Qatar's position as a regional technology leader.

This collaboration introduces four key initiatives designed to enhance customer service, sustainability, and operational excellence at Kahramaa.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation and aligns directly with Qatar's National Vision 2030 and Digital Agenda 2030, which prioritise establishing Qatar as a hub for emerging technologies, with AI at the forefront of digital transformation across all sectors.

“We are incredibly excited about this strategic partnership with Google Cloud, which marks a pivotal moment for Kahramaa's digital future,” said H E Abdulla bin Ali Al-Theyab, President of Kahramaa.

“These initiatives will not only empower our employees with cutting-edge AI tools and platforms but also drive real-world impact across various domains, contributing directly to Qatar's knowledge-based economy and supporting our national aspirations for innovation and technological advancement," the President added.

Ghassan Kosta, regional general manager, Google Cloud Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Iraq, said,“Our partnership with Kahramaa represents a profound investment in the future of AI and digital innovation in the region. By providing access to our cutting-edge technologies, expertise, and a comprehensive platform like Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise, we are empowering Kahramaa to lead the way in developing ethical AI solutions and fostering a new generation of skilled professionals that will drive Qatar's digital economy forward.”

The strategic partnership between Kahramaa and Google Cloud will feature establishing a robust AI framework within Kahramaa using Google Cloud's advanced machine learning (ML) capabilities, including Vertex AI and Gemini Enterprise. The framework will enable systematic development, deployment, and management of AI solutions to optimise energy and water management systems, enhance predictive maintenance protocols, improve customer service through AI-powered assistants, and foster a data-driven culture.

The partnership will also see the launch of comprehensive training programs designed to equip Kahramaa employees with the skills needed to leverage AI technologies effectively, accelerating digital transformation and contributing to Qatar's knowledge-based economy.
