Saudi Arabia’s Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) will host the first Regulatory Technologies (RegTech) symposium on Monday.

The symposium aims to shed light on the role and importance of regulatory technologies in governance, risk, and compliance management. It discusses a multitude of topics that range from the roles played by companies and institutes in regulation and oversight to the promising opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs.

The symposium will comprise lively panel discussions and engaging presentations, which in their entirety will lay the foundation for what RegTech is, examine the most promising opportunities for RegTech in the Kingdom, and sneak a peek into the latest global practices in RegTech. This will take place in the presence of some internationally-acclaimed experts as well as compliance and risk management specialists from various companies and regulatory bodies in the Kingdom.

Within its wide spectrum of topics, the symposium will put emerging and advance technologies under the spotlight for the purposes of emphasizing the role of those technologies in improving regulatory and supervisory performance, contributing to compliance, alleviating regulatory burdens, and increasing operational efficiency.

The event will also survey the most prominent RegTech solutions and emerging companies.

The Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) received certificates for its nominated projects, which were recognized among the best entries at the 2025 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes held in Geneva, Switzerland, highlighting SDAIA’s innovative contributions to the fields of data and artificial intelligence (AI).

SDAIA’s nominated projects represented a distinguished set of technological initiatives that demonstrated innovation, relevance, and impact in their respective fields.

Out of 973 submissions from various countries, they were chosen after an expert evaluation conducted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), SPA reported.

The nominated projects included the government cloud-computing platform “Deem,” which provides integrated and flexible cloud services for government entities; the “Nafath” application for biometric identity verification; the “Serti” service within the “Tawakkalna” app that enables users to display their certified academic qualifications; the “Tahseen” project, which uses AI to restore and enhance historical media; and the “Allam” and “Sawtak” projects, both of which represent a significant leap in supporting and processing Arabic using large language models and speech recognition technologies.

These achievements reflect the Kingdom’s commitment, through SDAIA, to reinforcing its global standing as a trusted authority in data and AI, advancing the national digital transformation agenda, and supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. They also contribute to enhancing the Kingdom’s regional and international competitiveness in technology and innovation.
