HP Garage 2.0 draws its inspiration from the original HP Garage in Palo Alto, where Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard founded the company, to recreate the spirit of innovation that distinguishes HP in a way that suits the new generation.

By combining startups, educational institutions, the business sector, and HP's expertise, HP Garage 2.0 aims to provide a collaborative environment that stimulates learning, encourages creative problem-solving, and helps startup founders develop solutions that align with Saudi Arabia's ambitions in artificial intelligence and the future of work.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape sectors and economies, empowering the next generation of innovators will be essential to fully capitalizing on its potential.

Through HP Garage 2.0, HP aims to contribute to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 ambitions by supporting education, skills development, and collaboration, enhancing local capabilities, and creating an environment that enables ideas to be transformed into tangible impact and long-term opportunities. This initiative reflects HP's belief that lasting innovation is not driven by technology alone, but also depends on investing in people and providing them with the opportunities they need to succeed.

Commenting on the launch of HP Garage 2.0, Fadl Saad, General Manager of HP’s regional headquarters in the Middle East and North Africa, said, “Saudi Arabia has achieved remarkable momentum in the field of innovation, and the opportunity today is to ensure that the next generation has the skills, confidence, and opportunities necessary to build on this momentum.”

Inspired by the original HP Garage, HP Garage 2.0 embodies our belief that lasting innovation starts with people.

By fostering learning, collaboration, and access to technology, we aim to empower Saudi innovators to transform ambitious ideas into tangible impact. We are proud to support the Kingdom's journey towards achieving Vision 2030, and we look forward to working with startups, educational institutions, the business sector, and other stakeholders to contribute to building an ecosystem where ideas flourish, collaboration thrives, and innovation has a lasting impact.”

HP Garage 2.0 is an extension of HP’s long-standing commitment to fostering innovation, education, and digital transformation in Saudi Arabia. To learn more about HP Garage 2.0 and HP’s latest innovations, visit the company’s booth at LEAP 2026 in Hall 3, Stand H3 D20.
