Technology leaders outline opportunities in AI, infrastructure and industrial technology

LEAP 2026, taking place in Riyadh from 31 August to 3 September, continues to attract technology companies, investors and entrepreneurs as Saudi Arabia positions itself as a major global AI hub.

Technology leaders at the event are highlighting developments across AI infrastructure, industrial AI, cybersecurity, digital transformation and advanced technology applications.

The event is becoming an important networking platform for companies looking to enter the Saudi market because it brings together government organisations, investors, technology providers and startups.

Saudi Arabia’s growing AI ecosystem is also being supported by major infrastructure investments, including cloud and data-centre projects announced around the event.

The broader business opportunity extends beyond AI developers. Cybersecurity companies, cloud providers, consulting firms, data companies, chip and infrastructure suppliers and enterprise software businesses can all benefit from the Kingdom’s expanding technology market.
