■ Background: Why Riyadh Now?
Under 'Vision 2030', the Saudi Arabian government is strongly promoting a national strategy to transition from an oil-dependent economy to a digital and technology industry. The development of national AI infrastructure, the creation of Sovereign AI, and large-scale investments in the gaming and entertainment industries are positioned as core measures within this strategy.
The AI market size in the Middle East is estimated to reach approximately 32 billion dollars by 2030, with Saudi Arabia attracting global attention as the largest growth market within the region. Riyadh, where government, private sector, and academia are united in leading discussions on AGI, collaborative intelligence, and AI governance, has now become a global AI discussion hub alongside Tokyo, London, and San Francisco.
The 'Global AI Show Riyadh 2026' event is the largest AI international conference in the Middle East, held within this context.
