Najm and Solera Partner to Accelerate AI-Powered Claims Transformation in Saudi Arabia.
ABU DHABI(News Desk):: Najm, the national platform supporting motor accident management in Saudi Arabia, has entered into a strategic partnership with Solera, a global leader in vehicle lifecycle management and claims solutions, in a move aimed at accelerating the digital transformation of the Kingdom’s motor insurance and claims ecosystem.
The partnership marks an important milestone in Solera’s expansion across the Middle East and is expected to support greater efficiency, scalability and standardisation across Saudi Arabia’s motor insurance sector, while enhancing the customer experience for insurers, repair networks and other stakeholders within the claims ecosystem.
Motor insurance remains one of the largest insurance segments in the Middle East, supported by rising vehicle ownership and mandatory insurance requirements. According to Research & Markets, the Middle East and Africa motor insurance market is projected to reach USD 66.47 billion by 2030.
The insurance sector is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with InsurTech, telematics, artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies increasingly being adopted to improve operational efficiency and accelerate claims resolution. Against this backdrop, the Najm-Solera partnership is positioned to contribute to the development of a more connected and technology-driven motor claims ecosystem in Saudi Arabia.
Najm continues to play a key role in advancing the Kingdom’s Saudi Vision 2030 objectives by supporting the transformation of the motor insurance sector. Through the partnership, Najm and Solera will combine Najm’s national reach and industry expertise with Solera’s global technology, data and AI capabilities.
Salman Al-Suhaibani, Chief Business & Operations Officer at Najm, said:
“As the national platform supporting Saudi Arabia’s motor insurance ecosystem, Najm has always looked ahead to what our industry needs next. Our partnership with Solera represents an important new chapter in that journey. By combining our experience and national reach with Solera’s global technology, data and AI capabilities, we can help create a more connected, intelligent and efficient claims ecosystem while supporting the Kingdom’s broader ambitions under Vision 2030.”
Fernando Pernigo, Regional Vice President at Solera, said:
“Our partnership with Najm represents an important milestone in Solera’s Middle East growth strategy. Saudi Arabia is one of the region’s most dynamic insurance markets, and this collaboration enables us to support insurers as they continue their digital transformation while strengthening our presence across the wider Middle East. We see significant opportunities to work alongside insurers and ecosystem partners to help build more connected, efficient and customer-centric claims operations.”
The collaboration also forms part of Solera’s broader Middle East growth strategy, with Saudi Arabia identified as a key market for regional expansion. The company said the partnership reinforces its commitment to supporting insurers across the region as they modernise claims operations, reduce operating costs and strengthen regulatory compliance.
Solera currently serves more than 300,000 customers globally across the automotive and insurance ecosystem. Its continued investment in the Middle East reflects growing demand for digital insurance technologies as governments and industry players pursue smarter, more connected mobility and insurance ecosystems.-Ends-
