A showcase for Saudi digital government
The Digital Government Authority opened the Digital Saudi exhibition alongside LEAP 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham. The Saudi Press Agency reports that more than 40 government entities are presenting digital achievements, services and transformation projects.
The program includes planned platform launches, agreements, panels, workshops and case studies. It also recognizes platforms ranked highly in the 2026 Digital Experience Maturity Index.
What expatriates should watch
Government digitization directly affects residents because many immigration, employment, health and municipal tasks are already completed through online portals. New launches may simplify procedures, but each authority remains responsible for its own eligibility rules and rollout timetable.
When a new service is announced, use the official authority page or application rather than unofficial links circulated through social media. LifeinGulf.com will turn relevant launches into step-by-step guides after the service and its requirements can be verified.
This news explainer is general information, not legal advice. Rules, eligibility and service availability can change; confirm a time-sensitive decision with the relevant Saudi authority.
