The company has continued to demonstrate itself as an industry trend setter, providing Saudi Arabia, the region and the world with products that exceed expectations and leading communities towards innovative smart technologies in every household.”

Hammad, Director of Corporate Marketing at Samsung Electronics KSA office commented: “We are here to convey our utmost appreciation to Saudi consumers who day by day prove to be greatly engaging with us and our products, whom with their continued trust and loyalty paved way for the company to become a local and worldwide renowned valued brand.” 

 

“There are many reasons that make us the top perceived brand across many countries, especially Saudi Arabia for the fourth year in a row, mainly due to our outstanding product innovation, exceptional marketing initiatives and local initiatives, that when put together demonstrate our path towards consumer satisfaction and community care,” concluded Mr. Hammad. 

 

Samsung Electronics and Takaful Charity Foundation had signed an MOU during the first half of 2015 for the indigent students, where Samsung undertook to provide 2,500 hi-tech personal computers to 1,134 public schools for both boys and girls across 23 regions in the Kingdom. Research has shown that teaching using modern technologies makes learning more exciting, motivating to the learners and encourages collaboration and strengthens communication skills, an approach that the Saudi Ministry of Education has integrated in its system, and towards June, and in line with the promise, all devices were delivered to the needy students and a distribution ceremony was held in Al- Kharj North of Riyadh to celebrate the distribution and incorporation of smart technology in public schools across the Kingdom.

Furthermore, Samsung seeks to bring forth and expose the never losing traditional heritage of each individual area across the Kingdom and learn about how these cultures make up the country that is today.

Samsung’s global initiative, “Launching People” was launched and the winners announced, mentored, and had their projects see the light, to continue a dedicated effort that provides tools and technology that empower young people to learn, create and collaborate in an effort to improve their personal traits and the community they life in by providing the generation of tomorrow with resources that will inspire them to reach the heights of their dreams, for Samsung clearly strategized not to just launch products, but also launch people. 

 

Samsung Electronics also signed in 2014 a strategic partnership agreement with the Technical and Vocational Training Institute in Riyadh, aiming to adopt the “Corporate Citizenship” program in the field of electronic training in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The agreement was signed by Vice Governor of TVTC for Training and General Manager of Samsung Electronics in Saudi Arabia, in the presence of HE Ambassador to the Republic of Korea in Saudi Arabia. The program aims to assist with the establishment of integrated centers for maintenance training under the name of “Samsung Tech Institute” that will be equipped with the latest technical equipment for the student body, in addition to support and provide extensive professional training to selected pool of accredited trainers of the institute in techniques and methods of Samsung Electronics whereby they will be able to pass these teachings to the students of the institute.
