LEAP 5: Four days of innovation and technology investment in Riyadh

Riyadh hosted the fifth edition of the LEAP conference from August 31 to September 3, 2026, at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, under the theme “Into New Worlds.” Its four days brought technology companies, entrepreneurs and investors together around innovation and artificial intelligence.

Launches and investments take center stage

Saudi Press Agency's opening-day coverage reported launches, investments and partnerships exceeding $15 billion. The conference program spanned 16 stages and more than 20 tracks. These are announced figures for the program and opening, not the magazine's estimate of the total value of all deals.

What matters to business?

LEAP's meetings bring technology capacity-building and connections between companies and investors into the same conversation. Suna3 Al Roya presents this brief after the fifth edition's scheduled dates have passed, keeping the event date distinct from the news publication date.
