A major event bringing together globally renowned experts in the field of intelligent cities, urban planning and digitalisation will take place in Riyadh in November.

The Smart Riyadh Forum (SRF) 2024, taking place from November 25 to 27, will address key challenges faced in projects and share international best practices for ongoing and upcoming projects, said organisers.

The forum will bring together global leaders, visionaries, project stakeholders, tech innovators, and investors to discuss the digital transformation of the Saudi capital city. The event, themed “Digitally Transforming Riyadh to Host the World,” aims to prepare the capital for hosting Expo 2030. It will be hosted by International Business Exchange – IBEX.
