Past Speaker Testimonials
Dr. Salim Sultan Al Ruzaiqi
Chief Executive Officer | Information Technology Authority
"Digitalization has a profound impact on the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the society, businesses and government. Technologies such as AI, when adopted by Governments, can offer seamless productivity and efficiency, responsive services and higher quality of life. However, it’s more than technologies and the smartness they bring."
Dr. Adnan Mustafa AlBar
Vice Chairman | Jeddah Municipality City Council
"The Saudi Vision 2030 has effectively opened doors to the world promoting the Kingdom as a global digital identity. The Government DX Summit is a key event to attend where you will learn and discuss with local and international experts in Government Digital Transformation and how Saudi Arabia is effectively achieving the vision and the NTP plan."
Dr. Fatmah Baothman
Doctor of Artificial Intelligence | King Abdulaziz University
"The adoption of artificial intelligence will bring massive reforms to Saudi Arabia’s digital journey to achieve Vision 2030. The Government DX Summit is the ideal platform to know more about Saudi Arabia’s role in transforming into an AI-powered society. There is a global responsibility to develop an AI model for improving the world."
Eng. Mohammed Mahnashi

"I will be speaking at the Government DX Summit and we will provide a holistic view of the digital technologies that Saudi Arabia will reap benefits from and what is to be invested in the country to prosper into an ironic digital economy. I urge professionals from across the world not to miss this high-profile conference."
Dr. Mustafa Hasan Qurban
Chief Information Officer | King Fahd Military Medical Complex (KFMMC) -
"The implementation of a Blockchain strategy is key to ensure an efficient financial services culture across all industries in the Kingdom. At the conference, we will be discussing creating a blockchain laboratory and how that will benefit Saudi Arabia in its digital transformation journey."
Why Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is leading one of the world’s most ambitious digital transformations, powered by Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program. With massive investments in 5G, cloud computing, AI, and smart cities, the digital market is projected to reach USD 90.25 billion by 2025, with AI spending exceeding USD 135 billion and cloud computing hitting USD 124.8 billion by 2033. The Kingdom’s focus on technologies like blockchain, quantum computing, IoT, and e-infrastructure underlines its goal of becoming a global innovation-driven economy.
However, challenges remain. 72% of Saudi organizations lack strategic planning, and 65% struggle to align digital initiatives with business goals. Gaps in interoperability, governance, and skills highlight the need for coordinated, high - level engagement.
That’s where the Government Digital Transformation Summit 2026 comes in. Taking place in Riyadh, it will gather 500+ stakeholders-government leaders, policymakers, C-level executives, and infrastructure heads - for a government-only speaker program focused on tech, policy, modernization, and citizen-first innovation. This summit offers a platform for collaboration, alignment, and impact at scale.
It’s not just an event - it’s a strategic intervention. And it’s exactly what this moment demands.
