The event will bring together 40 entities from the government and private sectors, as well as academic and technology institutions. Key participants include the Communications, Space & Technology Commission, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, and King Faisal University, alongside several technology companies and organizations supporting the entrepreneurship ecosystem. They will showcase the latest solutions, applications, and services that support the adoption of AI technologies.
