                                 In addition, the resolute commitment of Saudi Arabia’s government
                                 to elevate the digital economy’s contribution to nearly a fifth of the
                                 GDP by 2025 signals a seismic shift, unlocking a realm of
                                 opportunities for both tech-industry giants and startups alike. As
                                 the world watches, Saudi Arabia emerges as a global tech hub,
                                 building a path towards progress, creativity and infinite
                                 possibilities.


                                 Amidst technological innovations, LEAP 2024, one of the foremost
                                 global technology events, stands as a testament to Saudi Arabia
                                 dedication to embracing a digital future. The event depicts the
                                 country’s commitment towards fostering creativity and pushing the
                                 boundaries of technological advancement. Often dubbed as the
                                 ‘Digital Davos,’ LEAP 2024 holds a reputation beyond a
                                 technology event. It is a vital platform that gathers the world’s most
                                 brilliant minds to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s digital revolution.


                                 The evolution of the Kingdom’s digital landscape vividly depicts
                                 that it is not just the cutting-edge technologies that shape the
                                 country’s trajectory but also the visionary thought leaders,
                                 companies and stakeholders driving this transformative journey. In
                                 this regard, Red Hat, a leading player in the technology sector,
                                 takes centre stage, showcasing an unwavering commitment to
                                 innovation at the core of Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation. With
                                 Red Hat as a key participant, LEAP 2024 advances its role from a
                                 mere event to a reflection of the strategic revolution that aligns
                                 seamlessly with the ambitious goal of creating a prosperous and
                                 technologically advanced Kingdom.


                                 In light of this ambitious pursuit of Vision 2030, digital
                                 transformation takes centre stage as the government’s key enabler
                                 for progress. As part of the country’s efforts, a visionary leap
                                 occurred in 2019 with the establishment of the Saudi Authority of
                                 Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA). The move reflects the
                                 country’s commitment to spearheading responsible AI on a global
                                 scale by fostering a world-class AI ecosystem spanning both
                                 governmental and private sectors.


                                 At the heart of this revolution, AI stands as a key catalyst
                                 reshaping industries, transcending boundaries and reshaping
                                 problem-solving paradigms. The seamless integration of AI with
                                 cloud services holds a critical role in propelling development and
                                 deployment to unprecedented heights. The hosting and
                                 management of the platform, application, and data services within
                                 the cloud create a streamlined, efficient hybrid experience. This
                                 not only aids in slashing operational costs but also simplifies the
                                 intricate process of delivering cloud-native applications. Cloud
                                 services and AI has developed an interdepended relationship,
                                 where the former acts as the backbone for continuous evolution
                                 and widespread adoption of the latter. It also opens the doors of
                                 new possibilities as well as transforms existing business practices.
