She explained that the strategic commitment between the two countries is now translating into tangible steps on the ground, including Qualcomm's opening of its new office in Riyadh, the participation of dozens of US companies in LEAP 2026, and their direct engagement with Saudi partners through a program to accelerate commercial cooperation in artificial intelligence.
She noted that deepening Saudi-US cooperation in technology presents a shared challenge that not only accelerates innovation but also ensures it proceeds rapidly and securely.
Larson affirmed the commitment of American companies and the US Embassy to working alongside Saudi partners to achieve this standard, which will enhance cooperation in technology and artificial intelligence and create opportunities for innovation and partnership between the two countries.
