Saudi IoT is a vehement wave of Technology augmenting digitization & mobilization, in the most august way. Responding to the progressive feedback from the 2 super successful editions, the 3rd edition of Saudi IoT will redefine, recreate, rejuvenate the most talked about technologies. From the 8 to 10 March, the conclave of prominent stakeholders in the technology sector will bring boundless business & networking opportunities. 

Saudi IoT has carved out a niche as the BIGGEST IoT event in the region. The support from the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology and with the affluent inauguration by H.E Eng. Abdullah Al Sawah, grabbed the major limelight.

H.E Eng. Abdullah Al Sawah, Minister of Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, shared his views at the Inauguration: “The next generation is for the internet of things, building a promising future for communication and information technology in the Kingdom. The emphasis is on the use of technology to create jobs, add economic value and boost development across sectors. MCIT is in partnership with the Government entities, and is actively involved with the private sector to support transform the Economy.” 

He further stated, “Our main area of focus is on three elements, Smart Governance, Smart Infrastructure, and to promote & support the human competencies. We have drafted the regulatory framework on Internet of Things to promote & accredit the Emerging technologies by having License-exemption. We are on the path to turn the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into ‘a digital hub’ of the region. 

KSA is a promising market, today the investment in IoT and the emerging technologies is about 3 Billion Saudi Riyals and the growth rate is expected to go up by 26% in the coming years. In terms of infrastructure, the Kingdom has exceeded the global average by equipping 9,500 technocrats.”

Last year I had a chance to appreciate the very specialized focus of the exhibition that tremendously helped to generate productive discussions with clients and potential partners, which we have leveraged since then. This year, AEC has so much more to showcase and a tremendous appetite to get a deeper, first hand understanding of trends and perspectives.
