ONE GIANT LEAP
Technology is rapidly transforming the reality of today’s status quo.
It’s the foundation for many industries looking to develop, advance and leap forward; and it is increasingly becoming an intrinsic part of our everyday lives. With this in mind, we bring you LEAP.
Connecting the crème de la crème of ideas, innovative developments and tech entrepreneurialism all in one place. Most importantly, set within the backdrop of Saudi Arabia’s emerging tech ecosystem.
SAUDI ARABIA IS TRANSFORMING INTO THE EPICENTRE OF TECH
Technological transformation is now emblematic of Saudi.
Shifting away from oil as the principal economic resource in favour of becoming a regional tech hub is very much a definitive objective for Saudi’s Vision 2030.
Deemed the new Silicon Valley of the Middle East, we are witnessing one of the most significant socio-cultural shifts ever seen.
LEAP is a manifestation of this.
THE GREATEST INNOVATIONS
