LEAP brings 1,800 tech brands and 1,900 investors to Riyadh

LEAP 2026 opens in Riyadh on August 31 for a four-day gathering designed to put technology companies, startup founders, and the people who fund them in the same room. Organizers expect more than 1,800 global and local tech brands, about 600 startups, and more than 1,900 investors and venture-capital representatives at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham. That mix is the point: the event is not simply a showcase of new products, but a marketplace for partnerships, customer deals, and startup financing. Its fifth edition will also put artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and other digital-building blocks at the center of the conversation.
