Saudi Arabia is moving to foster its auto industry through Ceer, its first domestic full-vehicle maker. Ceer unveiled two electric models, the Exobot sedan and SUV, positioning them as part of Vision 2030. The company plans to expand its lineup to seven models by 2030, including hybrids. It is focusing first on the GCC while developing vehicles for fast certification in Europe and North America. Ceer highlighted performance, digital features and local production plans near Jeddah.

Global AI agent startup Rainer said on Thursday it will pursue an AI full-stack solution business with Rebellions by combining AI agent technology with neural processing unit (NPU)-based infrastructure. The companies also participate in an SK Telecom consortium tied to a government-led project to develop a homegrown AI foundation model. They will seek to cut service operating costs and offer solutions addressing data sovereignty and security needs, while expanding joint business in global markets.
