Discussions at LEAP 2026 Day Two focused on integrated digital government services and the real-world deployment of artificial intelligence across key economic sectors. The event in Riyadh brought together government officials and international technology executives to review operational progress in public platforms and emerging technologies.
Milestones at LEAP 2026 Day Two
During the proceedings, officials highlighted the expansion of the national unified application Tawakkalna, which is supported by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). The platform recognized 62 government entities for completing their service integration, meeting the full integration target set for 2026. According to reporting by entARABI, the platform consolidated 926 services from these entities into a single digital interface.
Dr. Esam Alwagait, Director of the National Information Center at SDAIA, stated that the platform represents a shift toward simplifying procedures across education, health, justice, interior, and commerce. Meanwhile, Governor of the Digital Government Authority Eng. Ahmed Alsuwaiyan noted that Tawakkalna now serves over 36 million users and processes more than 85 million transactions daily, offering access to more than 1,700 services from 370 public and private entities in the apps sector.
Hardware Solutions and Advanced Robotics
Hardware manufacturers and robotics companies demonstrated physical deployments of artificial intelligence on the exhibition floor. Mohamed Zuhri, Regional Director at Supermicro, said that organizations moving from pilot projects to full deployment require adaptable computing environments to handle expanding workloads, noting that the firm continues regional investments aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
Robotics demonstrations included Chinese manufacturer AGIBOT presenting its humanoid systems, while Unitree showcased automated hardware designed for physical tasks. Abel Deng, Head of Middle East and Asia-Pacific Operations at AGIBOT, stated that embodied systems combine perception and physical movement to operate in direct working environments.
Medical Technology and Humanitarian Initiatives
Healthcare applications were also presented, including an adaptive bionic hand built by US-based PSYONIC. Dr. Aadeel Akhtar, CEO of PSYONIC, explained that user movement data gathered by the device helps train robotic systems for broader automated tasks in health tech.
In panel sessions on social impact, Princess Lamia bint Majed Saud, Secretary General of Alwaleed Philanthropies, stated that automated training tools help connect individuals with specialized skills, noting that the organization’s initiatives have reached over 1.5 billion people globally.
Enterprise Infrastructure and Scalability
Industry discussions addressed the transition of advanced algorithms into measurable business value across commercial operations. Greg Williams of Economist Enterprise said the primary focus for leadership is identifying priority use cases to secure measurable returns on computing investments.
Furthermore, Rishad Premji, Executive Chairman of Wipro, stated that computing chips and data center infrastructure must address operational needs while pairing technological investments with workforce preparation. Consequently, the sessions at LEAP 2026 Day Two highlighted a broader industry focus on infrastructure execution and measurable public service delivery.
