Lenovo today announced the official start of construction for its new Middle East and Africa (MEA) Regional Headquarters (RHQ) at the iconic Majdoul Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The ceremonial event marks a major milestone in Lenovo’s regional growth strategy and further reinforces its commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the rapidly expanding MEA landscape.
The ceremony marked the official start of the build-out of Lenovo’s dedicated RHQ floor. The new headquarters, which will fully comply with the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) guidelines for establishing regional headquarters in the Kingdom, is scheduled to become fully operational by March 2026. The event was attended by key Lenovo leaders, including Matt Zielinski, Lenovo Executive Vice President and President of International Markets; Lawrence Yu, Head of MEA Regional Headquarters; and Giovanni Di Filippo, Vice President & General Manager, Lenovo Saudi Arabia.
Located in Majdoul Tower, one of Riyadh’s most iconic buildings and a growing innovation hub, the RHQ will bring Lenovo closer to government entities, PIF-affiliated companies, and technology partners. This investment builds on Lenovo’s recent leadership appointments in Saudi Arabia and its strategic partnership with ALAT, a Public Investment Fund (PIF)-owned company.
Once complete, the RHQ will serve as a central hub for Lenovo’s strategy and operations across the Middle East and Africa, anchoring the company’s strategic investments, partnerships, and talent development in the region.
“This groundbreaking marks a defining moment in Lenovo’s journey in the Middle East and Africa,” said Lawrence Yu, Head of MEA Regional Headquarters. “By establishing our Regional Headquarters in Riyadh, we’re not only deepening our commitment to the Kingdom but also strengthening our partnerships with key stakeholders to drive technology innovation and economic growth. This investment represents far more than a new office – it’s about embedding Lenovo into the fabric of Saudi Arabia’s future. Together with ALAT and the Public Investment Fund, we are building advanced manufacturing, R&D, and talent development capabilities that will enable Saudi Arabia to become a hub for innovation, technology, and sustainable growth across the wider region.”
