Digitalization opportunities in Saudi Arabia

Covid-19 has an unprecedented role in accelerating digital transformation. Saudi Arabia has taken qualitative steps towards ensuring speedy development towards digitalization through the adoption of state-of-the-art telecommunications and ICT technology. This will facilitate the knowledge economy and e-commerce.

Digitalization acceleration became the shared goal for both public and private sectors during last year.
