At the forum’s Saudi Arabia pavilion, SDAIA showcased the Rowad initiative, a package designed to assist entrepreneurs and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in Saudi Arabia.

The initiative facilitates entrepreneurs and startups in verifying client data electronically by integrating with the National Information Center databases, ensuring top-notch safety, reliability, and supporting entrepreneurs' contributions to the national GDP. It enhances identity uses in emerging sectors and improves facility data quality.

SDAIA also presented plans for the third edition of the Global AI Summit, scheduled for Riyadh in September. Featuring over 250 speakers from across the globe, the summit will delve into AI potentials and its impacts across diverse fields.

SDAIA’s participation in the forum aligns with the Authority’s commitment to fostering partnerships with international entities. Through such collaborations, SDAIA strives to realize its vision of establishing a data-driven national economy, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, and positioning the Kingdom among leading countries in data and AI-driven economies.
