The ceremony was attended by Shiraz Kapadia, CEO & President of Invixium, and Abdullah Alghamdi, Senior Vice President–Safety and Industrial Security, Aramco.

Biometric innovation

Saudi Arabia is our largest market thanks to strategic customers like Saudi Aramco,” said Shiraz Kapadia, CEO & President of Invixium. “Aligned with the goals of the IKTVA Program and Saudi Vision 2030, we are committed to deepening our presence in the region by establishing our office and a production/assembly facility in the Kingdom in the foreseeable future."

"This will enable us to locally manufacture our biometric solutions, generate employment opportunities, and develop biometric innovation and engineering expertise in the region.”

Advancing localisation initiatives

IKTVA aims to establish a level playing field for suppliers through transparent processes, the creation of supplier-focused partnerships, and regular quality assessments. The MoU recognises Invixium as a pioneering face recognition access control solutions provider in Saudi Arabia and strengthens its partnership with Aramco.

It underscores their shared commitment to advancing localisation initiatives, fostering innovation, and contributing to workforce development within the Kingdom.
