The world's first robot-friendly building and a hub of cutting-edge technology, the 'Tech Convergence Building' Naver 1784, has been continuously visited by key officials from the Saudi Arabian government.


On the 5th, Abdullah Al-Sawaha, Minister of the Saudi Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), and his delegation visited Naver 1784 to experience various advanced technologies firsthand, including AI and digital twins, and engaged in extensive discussions on potential technological cooperation in AI and digital twins. Attending from Naver were Chae Sun-joo, Head of External and ESG Policy, Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, and Seok Sang-ok, CEO of Naver Labs.


Abdullah Al-Sawaha is the second Saudi Arabian government minister to visit Naver 1784. Following the first visit by Majed Al-Hogail, Minister of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, and his delegation in November last year, an MOU for national digital transformation was signed in March this year between the Saudi Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing and Naver.


Since November last year, a total of nine key Saudi Arabian officials have visited Naver 1784, maintaining steady engagement between Saudi Arabia and Naver. Notably, in February this year, the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA), National Information Center (NIC), and National Data Management Office (NDMO), which oversee AI and data-related fields in Saudi Arabia, officially visited Naver 1784.



A Naver official stated, “In addition to Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, government agencies from various countries have visited 1784 directly, showing continuous global interest in Naver’s advanced technologies,” adding, “We will strive to globally promote the diverse advanced technologies accumulated by Naver, including AI, digital twins, robotics, and autonomous driving.”
