LEAP East 2026 Marks Conference's First International Edition in Hong Kong

LEAP continues to strengthen its position as a leading technology platform. Since its launch in Riyadh in 2022, the conference has successfully hosted four editions, establishing itself as a gathering for investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators. The conference is organized by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP), and Tahaluf, the joint venture between the federation, global company Informa, and the Events Investment Fund.

 The conference is now being held outside the Kingdom for the first time, with its inaugural international edition, LEAP East 2026, taking place in Hong Kong at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from July 8 to 10.

 Held in partnership with Hong Kong's Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB), the event brings together a distinguished lineup of technology experts, industry leaders, and keynote speakers, alongside hundreds of exhibitors and startups from around the world.

 In his opening remarks, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SAFCSP, Faisal Alkhamisi, emphasized that LEAP has evolved beyond a traditional technology conference since its launch, becoming the world's most attended technology event.

 LEAP East aims to strengthen technological cooperation between the Middle East and Asia, support the entrepreneurship and technology investment ecosystem, and reinforce the Kingdom's position as a global hub for major technology events by accelerating the growth of the digital economy.
