What the source contributes

The twelfth Riyadh Economic Forum runs from 12 to 14 October with public- and private-sector participation. Its five studies address smart agriculture and artificial intelligence for food and water security; knowledge localisation; congestion in major cities; assessment of legislation and public policy; and economic and social returns from Expo 2030 and the 2034 World Cup.

Horizon synthesis and use

  • The forum identifies current policy questions and a relevant stakeholder setting, but it does not yet create a tender or funded programme. Companies should obtain the published studies and track named implementing institutions, pilots, budgets and procurement routes before treating the themes as addressable demand.
