Aramco Digital is in talks to invest about $1 billion in Mavenir and a deal is likely to be signed before the end of the year, the sources said, cautioning that a transaction is not guaranteed. The deal by Aramco Digital, the wholly-owned technology subsidiary of the oil giant, would be its first major transaction in the telecommunications industry as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan, which focuses on technological advancements and economic diversification. The telecom equipment industry, which has long been dominated by vendors such as Sweden's Ericssono, Finland's Nokia and China's Huawei, is one of the few critical areas where U.S. companies do not have a significant presence. https://lnkd.in/d4_afV4f
