Following mCloud’s December 2021 cloud agreement with Saudi-based Virtual Vision (“V2”), this center of excellence would leverage V2’s high performance infrastructure to deliver next-generation ESG-focused applications powered by mCloud’s AssetCare™ platform.

“The collaboration between mCloud and Aramco has remarkable strategic and operational significance to mCloud’s growth, and I intend to have a regular minimum quarterly presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to support the success of this initiative for many years to come,” McMeekin added.
