This week, I had the privilege of attending the Digital Technology Forum 2024, which highlighted Saudi Arabia's rapidly growing tech landscape and key industry advancements: 📊 Saudi Tech Market Expansion: Saudi Arabia’s tech market reached 91 billion SAR in 2023, with an impressive 11% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The tech sector now boasts 20 listed companies with a combined market value of 148 billion SAR. These numbers reaffirm the Kingdom's progress toward becoming a global tech hub. 🚀 Saudi-Made Innovation: One of the forum's most exciting announcements was the launch of Saudi-made servers by HPE & Alfanar. This initiative aligns with the Saudi Made program, and the servers are now set to be exported globally, showcasing the country's growing capabilities in tech manufacturing and export. 🏆 Co-Innovation Award: This year’s Co-Innovation Award celebrated the efforts of DocCerts, Faseeh, and Muneer for their innovative collaborations between service providers and end-users. These projects emphasize the power of partnership in driving forward technological solutions tailored to real-world needs. The forum truly underscored the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors to foster innovation, build a sustainable digital future, and advance Saudi Arabia’s tech industry as part of Vision 2030. #DigitalTechnologyForum2024 #SaudiTech #Innovation #SaudiMade #Vision2030 #CoInnovation #TechGrowth
