Saudi Arabia's Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Al-Sawaha announced the launch of the Digital Transformation Leaders Program in partnership with the Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Foundation (MiSK) and the Mohammed bin Salman College.

The program, announced at the Misk Global Forum in Riyadh on Thursday, aims to create a new generation of digital leaders by discovering Saudi entrepreneurs and enabling them to achieve success and excellence at the local and international levels.

The program provides supervision to 30 leading Saudi entrepreneurs to implement innovative economic and social ideas that will leave a significant impact on society and develop to local and global success stories.

Al-Sawaha said competitiveness in today's world is based not only on assets and expertise, but on knowledge, leadership and innovation.

"Countries with an advanced classification in the areas of competitiveness, transparency and happiness are those who made giant steps in digital transformation and innovation," he added.

Agricultural areas across Saudi Arabia are experiencing a vibrant summer harvest this July, with watermelon leading the seasonal fruits in local markets as production exceeds 610,000 tons, driven by the fruit’s natural flavor, rich nutritional value, and vital role in food processing industries, SPA reported.
Known for its high quality and variety, watermelon continues to gain strong consumer demand across Saudi Arabia. It also supports several food industries such as juices, desserts, and frozen treats, helping to reinforce food security, boost seasonal crop self-sufficiency, and advance the national economy, all in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to promote agricultural sustainability and improve domestic production efficiency.
According to SPA, the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture remains committed to empowering farmers by offering technical guidance, financial support, and expansion of modern agricultural technologies to enhance output quality.
The ministry also supports supply chains and market access through seasonal programs and local exhibitions, ensuring smooth product delivery to consumers and maximizing economic impact.
