Huwise and Ejada Systems Forge Partnership to Boost Data-Driven Digital Transformation Across the Middle East

On 24 June 2026, Paris‑based Huwise unveiled a strategic alliance with Saudi‑Arabian digital‑transformation leader Ejada Systems. The partnership will see Ejada promote and deploy Huwise’s marketplace‑style data product platform across the Middle East, with the goal of boosting data consumption and unlocking new business value.

Huwise, which emerged from the former Opendatasoft brand, is a French SaaS company that delivers a marketplace‑style framework for creating, publishing, and governing data products. Its platform is engineered to make data accessible to both human users and AI models, offering secure, compliant self‑service access in a variety of formats. According to the press release, Huwise has already launched more than 3,000 data marketplaces in 25 countries and serves over 350 clients.

Ejada Systems, headquartered in Riyadh, has long been a trusted provider of integrated digital‑technology solutions to public and private sector organisations across the Middle East and Africa. Its portfolio spans cloud, data and AI, cybersecurity, digital experience, and managed services, and it positions itself as a key partner for large‑scale transformation programmes aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.

The collaboration responds to a growing demand for data‑centric capabilities in the region. Huwise’s solution is available on local cloud providers, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) hosted in Saudi Arabia and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United Arab Emirates, a move designed to address concerns about digital sovereignty and data control.

"Through its combination of deep market understanding and comprehensive consulting skills, Ejada has built a strong reputation across the Middle East for helping organisations successfully embrace digital technologies and deliver value," said Frédéric Gauzy, Regional Manager – Middle East and APAC of Huwise.

Abdullah AlQarawi, Chief AI & Data Officer at Ejada, added: "At Ejada, we help organisations transform data into an operational and strategic asset by integrating global capabilities within locally governed digital ecosystems. Through our partnership with Huwise, we are enabling scalable data consumption models that simplify access to trusted data and accelerate measurable business value."

Huwise’s platform integrates with more than 80 connectors and partners with leading vendors such as Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, and Precisely. Many of these partners already work closely with Ejada, which should streamline the integration process for Ejada’s clients.

The partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of data‑product marketplaces in sectors central to Saudi Vision 2030, including finance, energy, and public services. By providing a single, governed environment where data can be discovered, governed, and consumed, the alliance aims to reduce the time and cost associated with data projects and to foster innovation.

While the press release does not detail a specific implementation roadmap, it indicates that Ejada will drive the adoption and delivery of Huwise’s solution to its existing client base. The collaboration is also positioned as a step toward broader digital‑sovereignty initiatives in the region, as local cloud hosting and compliance features are emphasised.

In summary, the Huwise‑Ejada partnership represents a concrete effort to bring a mature data‑product marketplace platform to Middle‑Eastern enterprises. By combining Huwise’s technology with Ejada’s regional expertise and client relationships, the two companies aim to increase data consumption, improve data governance, and support the digital transformation goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030.

The partnership was announced via a joint press release on 24 June 2026, and both companies have indicated that they will begin pilot deployments with select Ejada clients in the coming months.
