Overview

Artificial intelligence has rapidly shifted from being a futuristic vision to a national priority; that is shaping competitiveness across government, industries, and the broader economy. As the kingdom accelerates toward its Vision 2030 goals, AI has emerged as a cornerstone of digital transformation, economic diversification, and workforce evolution for the kingdom.

 

According to IDC, the momentum is strong. 48% of Saudi organizations have already made significant AI investments, while 43% are actively piloting use cases, signaling a rapid progression toward scaled, AI-native execution. While this pace creates urgency, risks emerge in parallel. Without clear governance frameworks, integrated operating models, and executive stewardship, AI initiatives struggle to deliver sustained outcomes.

 

As enterprises move beyond AI experimentation, the focus is now on becoming AI-native. Intelligence is being directly embedded into operating models, workflows, and decision-making at scale, ensuring that AI investments translate into measurable business outcomes and sustained competitiveness.

 

Join this exclusive, invitation-only leadership gathering bringing together CXOs and senior enterprise and government decision-makers for an intimate suhoor discussion. Hear from IDC and UnifyApps experts as they explore how organizations can transition from AI adoption to AI-native execution, reshaping operations, talent models, and enterprise performance.
