LEAP 2026

LEAP is Saudi Arabia’s flagship global technology conference and one of the fastest-growing tech events in the world. Held annually in Riyadh, LEAP has positioned the Kingdom as a central meeting point for global technology leaders, startups, investors, enterprises, and governments, aligning closely with Saudi Vision 2030 and the country’s ambition to become a world-class digital and innovation hub.

LEAP is not just a conference—it is a technology ecosystem at scale. The event brings together hundreds of thousands of attendees across multiple days, featuring global tech giants, unicorn startups, policymakers, venture capital firms, and founders under one roof. From artificial intelligence and cloud computing to fintech, cybersecurity, smart cities, Web3, and deep tech, LEAP covers the full spectrum of technologies shaping the future economy.

A defining feature of LEAP is its deal-making power. Each edition consistently announces multi-billion-dollar technology investments, partnerships, and funding commitments, making it one of the most commercially impactful tech events globally. Governments, sovereign funds, and enterprises use LEAP as a platform to unveil major initiatives, while startups leverage it to raise capital, sign enterprise clients, and expand into the Saudi and GCC markets.

The conference experience is structured around multiple content zones and tracks, including keynote stages, startup showcases, investor lounges, deep-tech zones, and sector-specific pavilions. Global technology leaders and CEOs deliver high-profile keynotes, while hands-on workshops, product launches, and live demos allow attendees to engage directly with cutting-edge innovation.

LEAP has also become a gateway to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) tech ecosystem. For international companies and investors, it offers direct access to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing digital economy, its regulatory stakeholders, and its enterprise buyers. For regional startups and founders, LEAP provides unmatched visibility, global exposure, and access to international capital and partnerships.

What sets LEAP apart from traditional tech conferences is its scale, speed, and strategic backing. Supported by national digital transformation agendas and major public-private collaboration, LEAP compresses what usually takes months of networking, meetings, and deal-making into just a few days. This has helped LEAP quickly rank alongside the world’s most influential technology gatherings.

In just a few years, LEAP has evolved from a regional event into a global technology landmark, attracting participants from over 170 countries and redefining how emerging markets host world-class tech platforms. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation into a digital and innovation powerhouse, LEAP continues to serve as the front door to the Kingdom’s technology future.
