DSO, SAP sign deal   

Khaleej Times - 02 August, 2012

Dubai Silicon Oasis, or DSO, and SAP on Wednesday signed an agreement for first-of-a-kind of IT training and development institute that will help boost local industries, innovation and job market.

Spearheaded by SAP Mena and created to benefit the entire region, the project will become the UAE’s first IT-specific education and development entity.

The deal with SAP is a big agreement in regard of investment for both parties, Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, or DSOA, Chairman Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum told reporters at a news conference after signing the deal with Dr Werner Brandt, SAP CFO and executive board member.

The agreement further enhances Dubai’s 2021 Vision into moving to an economy that is based on the development and creation of Emirati skills, Shaikh Ahmed added.

“DSO has attracted some of the world’s most dynamic and innovative companies... we are pleased to announce yet another strategic partnership that will positively impact professionals not just in the UAE but also across the Mena region,” DSOA vice-chairman and CEO Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni said.

Earlier this year, SAP announced a $ 450 million investment plan spanned over four years to up-skill local talent and drive sustainable innovation and growth across the region.
