LEAP opens with more than $15 billion in AI and tech commitments

Saudi Arabia opened LEAP 2026 with announcements valued at more than $15 billion across AI and advanced technology. The package brings together Humain, the kingdom’s AI company, with firms including AMD, Adobe, NVIDIA, xAI, Cisco, Qualcomm, and AWS—covering the practical layers needed to build an AI industry, from chips and data centers to cloud services, software, and consumer tools. These are announced launches, investments, and partnerships rather than one completed transaction, but they build on a $20 billion technology package unveiled during the Crown Prince’s U.S. visit. With this year’s announcements, the cumulative value of deals announced at LEAP since its 2022 debut reaches $59.2 billion, underscoring the event’s role as a venue for assembling Saudi Arabia’s AI infrastructure and commercial partnerships.
