The creation of Amanah Tech, a strategic joint venture to lead the technological enablement of all current and forthcoming projects, further supports our commitment to drive progress and digital transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s metropolitan areas.
Contractual and financial rewards
As an alternative to the traditional procurement process, the public-private partnership model is based on a recurring revenue stream, adding significant value to solutions by stc’s financial standing, including a positive equity outlook for long-term PPP engagements.
