IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) is Saudi Aramco's localization scoring program — and the de-facto standard adopted by SABIC, Ma'aden, and other large operators. Suppliers earn IKTVA points for local manufacturing, Saudi workforce employment, KSA-based R&D, and local supplier spending. The 70%-by-2021 target redrew Aramco's procurement; vendors below threshold get deprioritized. FI Tech operates as a Saudi-domiciled vendor with Saudi-engineering payroll, in-kingdom DGX training compute, and KSA-resident customer data — meeting IKTVA tier requirements for direct supply to Aramco, SABIC, and SAR (Saudi Arabia Railways) industrial-AI engagements.
