Couchbase

🇸🇦 AI is no longer optional in Saudi Arabia—it’s the heart of Vision 2030.

According to IDC, 50% of Saudi organizations are expected to have an enterprise-wide AI strategy by the end of this year. But to scale those ambitions, enterprises need a truly AI-ready data foundation.

That’s why tomorrow evening, 23rd June, Couchbase is teaming up with IDC and AWS in KSA to bring together senior tech leaders. We'll be exploring how to break down legacy data silos and power the next generation of intelligent applications.

Excited to share insights alongside our expert speakers:

Proud to partner with industry leaders to help accelerate the Kingdom's digital transformation! 🚀

You can't build a futuristic AI strategy on a broken data foundation.

That was the blunt truth in the room at 12 Micron, where we gathered a select group of Sydney's top tech leaders for an unfiltered debate about the distributed future: AI from Cloud to Edge.

What came out of the room:

AU enterprise leaders are past the hype — asking hard architectural questions and not accepting vague answers.

In Edge AI, separating vectors from operational metadata is a recipe for failure. Co-locating them on a unified platform is the only way to ensure real-time context anywhere.

The organizations getting AI right aren't chasing the latest model — they're getting the data foundation right first.

The appetite for serious AI infrastructure in Australia is real — and accelerating. The opportunity is significant, and we're looking for someone to own it.

We're hiring an Strategic Account Executive for the Australian market — someone who thrives in technical conversations like these, and wants to be part of a category-defining moment in AI infrastructure.

Couchbase is heading to Goa for MachineCon GCC Summit 2026, happening June 19–21 at Alila Diwa Goa. Join us and connect with , Managing Director APAC at Couchbase, as we engage with industry leaders on the latest in data, AI, and the evolving GCC landscape.

Looking forward to insightful conversations, new connections, and exploring what’s next for modern enterprises.

Great three days at ETCIO Summit Goa 2026!

We had meaningful 1:1 conversations, a packed Innovation Hub session, and the opportunity to connect with leaders shaping the future of enterprise technology. The discussions around data and AI focused on real-world challenges, practical outcomes, and what’s actually delivering impact on the ground. The energy was high, the questions were thoughtful, and the connections made throughout the event were truly valuable.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, challenged our thinking, and shared your perspective.

99.9% uptime used to be the goal. Today, it’s just the baseline.

Last week in Singapore, we brought together leaders across banking, financial services and other industries to discuss the growing resilience gap. As customer demands skyrocket, legacy infrastructure and fragmented data are no longer just "technical debt"—they are business risks.

At Couchbase, we're helping the large enterprises bridge that gap by:
-Eliminating Downtime: Moving beyond "high availability" to true operational agility.
-Simplifying Architectures: Consolidating fragmented data into a high-performance NoSQL platform.
-Scaling without Friction: Real-time data access that doesn't buckle under pressure.

Legacy systems shouldn't hold back tomorrow’s innovations. Let’s build the next generation of resilient FSI together.

The wait is almost over for the CDO Magazine Toronto Leadership Summit!

We are thrilled to see Couchbase’s own Jack Harper lead a powerhouse conversation on a topic that is top-of-mind for data executives today: "Put Your Money Where Your Data Is."

Data is no longer just a "resource", it’s the engine of modern enterprise value. Jack will be joined by an incredible lineup of Toronto’s top data and AI leaders to discuss how to bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and bottom-line ROI.

Meet the Panel:
-Jack Harper, Director of Solutions Engineering, Couchbase (Moderator)
-Chris Hayes, Director and Head of Data and AI Platform, Harbourfront Wealth Management
-Nipun Sharma, Lead, Product Risk-Enterprise Risk Management, Interac Corp.
-Adnan Hoque, Vice President of Data & Analytics, Wellington-Altus
