Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Alswaha affirmed that, with the support and empowerment of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia is the world’s ideal partner to bridge the computing gap and shape the future of the intelligent age.
This statement came during his participation in a panel discussion titled “Converging Technologies to Win,” held as part of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
Alswaha explained that the Kingdom is consolidating its position as a global computing platform in the age of intelligence, building on its abundance of energy, capital, land, and long-term planning. These strengths enable innovators and investors to accelerate value creation and achieve growth that serves people, the planet, and prosperity. He pointed to practical healthcare applications that contribute to improving productivity and quality of life.
He stressed that the Kingdom is not only empowering its institutions and sectors domestically, but is also advancing its global ambition to become a testing ground and expansion platform for innovators and investors. He noted that every dollar invested in infrastructure generates multiple returns in software and use cases, enhancing prosperity and serving people and the planet.
Alswaha further emphasized that the Kingdom’s ambition in the age of intelligence is global, driven by an investment vision based on the belief that Saudi prosperity strengthens the prosperity of the region and the world. He noted that the Kingdom represents around 50% of the region’s digital economy, attracts half of the venture capital funding and unicorn companies, and is ranked first and second globally by the WEF in the digital rise category. He added that Saudi Arabia is today moving to contribute to unlocking the next wave of economic value in the era of artificial intelligence.
He concluded by stressing that, with the support and empowerment of HRH the Crown Prince, the Kingdom is not only participating in the intelligent age, but also helping shape it globally through investment in computing, empowering people, and building international partnerships, reinforcing its role as the world’s ideal partner in the age of intelligence.
