It is worth noting that HPE’s locally manufactured products will feature the "Saudi Tech" logo, which is a national identity under the ‘Saudi Made’ program aiming to help local tech products and promote their position locally and globally in collaboration between Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Ministry of Industry & Mineral Resources, Communications, Space & Technology Commission, Saudi Exports Development Authority and Local Content & Government Procurement Authority.
