LEAP is Saudi Arabia's global tech event that serves as a great platform for business and collaboration, bringing business ideas, remarkable innovations and emerging developments in technology under one roof to unlock the Kingdom’s boundless investment potential for economic diversification.
LEAP23 is running from February 6–9, 2023, at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Centre. With more than 900 exhibitors confirmed for this year’s second iteration, LEAP23 is hosting more than 700 speakers, including billionaire investors, astronauts and athletes-turned-tech investors, across its 15 conferences.
Proudly supported by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), Saudi Arabia, MCIT Minister H.E. Eng. Abdullah Alswaha delivered a speech during the opening ceremony as the event opened its doors on the first day.
LEAP23’s four-day show provides an ideal stage for announcing strategic partnerships and large-scale business deals that will impact the tech community globally. Initially, the tech event’s debut announced more than US$6 billion worth of investments. But on day one alone, this value was exceeded, as over US$9 billion in cloud and metaverse investments in the Kingdom were announced by global companies.
