Globant inaugurated its Middle East Regional HQ in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Landed in the region less than three years ago, this marks a significant milestone in Globant's geographical expansion and its ambition to be at the heart of digital reinvention in the Middle East through cutting-edge AI solutions and digital customer experiences powered by the cultural insight and expertise of local talent. The digital transformation market in the Middle East is experiencing substantial development.

Globant's revenue in the Middle East & APAC grew by 84.4% year-over-year in First Quarter-25. In this growing landscape for digital initiatives, now with a dedicated hub, Globant aims to accelerate AI-driven innovation for leading public and private organizations in key verticals such as Media and Entertainment, Travel and Leisure, Financial Services, and Gaming, among others. In order to seamlessly offer AI-first solutions as, for example, models where experts supervise agentic workflows, Globant will train talented local IT professionals with best-in-class AI courses to support their development as AI Architects and AI Engineers.

Located in Building 1.15 KAFD, Globant's new headquarters also includes Globant's third global "Playground" -- an immersive, open space designed to bring Middle East tech leaders closer to the future of innovation. Following its successful rollouts in Sao Paulo and Los Angeles, this new Playground offers hands-on experiences that blend innovation with the excitement of sports, AI, and customer engagement. Among other experiences, visitors can step into "The Perfect Pit Stop," a sci-fi VR challenge where teams collaborate as a Formula 1 pit crew; or test their skills with dynamic basketball simulators and digital twin experiences.
