What Customers Asked​

As part of its strategic innovation journey, Saudi Telecom Company (STC) partnered with Silicon Valley Innovation Center for a bespoke Immersion Program in London. The program was designed in response to key questions raised by STC’s leadership, who were eager to explore how leading European telecom and technology firms are embracing digital transformation, adopting AI, and evolving their business models in the face of rapid disruption. They sought to understand emerging trends in 5G, IoT, and cloud technologies, and to uncover best practices for fostering a culture of innovation and agility within a large, complex organization. In particular, STC was interested in identifying scalable startup technologies and investment opportunities that align with their future vision.

What We Did

To address these objectives, Silicon Valley Innovation Center curated a high-impact learning experience that blended strategic briefings, company visits, and expert-led workshops. The delegation engaged directly with senior executives, R&D leaders, and founders from some of London’s most influential technology and telecom players. Through these curated interactions, STC participants gained firsthand exposure to disruptive technologies, innovation frameworks, and digital execution strategies. The program also included startup showcases tailored to STC’s focus areas, offering an opportunity to explore partnership pathways and assess emerging technologies with real-world applications.

Results & Outcomes

They validated their strategic priorities, discovered new ideas for operationalizing innovation at scale, and expanded their international network with potential collaborators, startups, and ecosystem enablers. Most importantly, the experience enhanced their capacity to lead digital transformation with agility and foresight—positioning STC as a forward-looking telecom leader on the global stage.
