The second day of LEAP 2026 in Saudi Arabia prominently featured artificial intelligence, with exhibitors showcasing advancements in AI, robotics, advanced computing, and digital services as they move beyond research into practical applications. Visitors at LEAP and DeepFest witnessed a diverse range of demonstrations, from humanoid robots and AI-enabled prosthetics to computing systems built for large-scale AI workloads, underscoring the increasing focus on using AI to tackle real-world challenges across various industries.
Supermicro highlighted its advanced computing infrastructure designed to aid organizations in scaling their AI capabilities. Mohammad Zahri, Regional Director at Supermicro, emphasized the company’s commitment to creating computing environments that can manage complex AI workloads, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation goals. Robotics also took center stage, with Unitree presenting intelligent robotics and AGIBOT showcasing humanoid systems that integrate perception, decision-making, and physical action. AGIBOT’s President for the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, Abel Deng, described this development as a shift towards embodied AI, enhancing human interaction with technology in physical spaces.
In the realm of prosthetics, PSYONIC introduced its Bionic Hand, a system designed to respond to user movements with integrated sensor and movement data, illustrating how AI and robotics can assist individuals in performing physical tasks and improving human-machine interaction. The event also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation through Tawakkalna, the comprehensive digital government application backed by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA). During LEAP 2026, 62 government entities were acknowledged for incorporating their services into Tawakkalna, achieving the platform’s 2026 integration target. Now serving over 36 million users, Tawakkalna offers access to more than 1,700 government services and processes over 85 million transactions daily.
The latest integration added 926 services from participating government entities to a unified interface, broadening the spectrum of public services accessible to citizens, residents, and visitors. Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President at Tahaluf, noted that the event reflects a shift from theoretical discussions about AI’s potential to concrete demonstrations of technologies already in use across healthcare, robotics, space, and digital infrastructure. LEAP 2026 also showcased Saudi Arabia’s efforts to leverage emerging technologies for strengthening domestic capabilities, fostering innovation, and creating broader economic opportunities.
Organized by Tahaluf, LEAP brings together technology companies, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders in Saudi Arabia, covering sectors such as healthcare, finance, energy, education, transportation, digital entertainment, and smart cities.
