Representing Saudi Arabia at the event, showcasing its vision for a self-sufficient technological ecosystem and highlighting its long-term plans to further accelerate its digital transformation journey has been an excellent experience for AEC. We look forward to capitalising on the opportunities that surfaced during these five days of networking and knowledge-exchange for the future growth and development of the information and communications technology industry in the kingdom.” - TradeArabia News Service
