Event Overview

Digital government is a critical building block in Saudi Arabia’s long-term strategy to create a more sustainable economy and develop its public service sectors. Propelled by a vision to drive a sea change in government operations, the Digital Government Authority (DGA) guides the kingdom’s digital transformation journey by supporting other government entities in developing, deploying, and regulating digital government services.

The National Transformation Program’s report indicated that there are over 6,000 digital government services available, which account for 97 percent of all government services. Recent reports highlight several achievements in the Kingdom’s efforts to build a robust digital sector that attracts investments, including the introduction and development of policies and legislation supporting digital transformation, such as the personal data protection system, the digital government policy, and the communications and information technology systems.

A cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s digital government initiative lies in its comprehensive e-government infrastructure. The Kingdom has successfully established resilient online platforms, exemplified by the Abshr and Tawakkalna Services platforms. These platforms serve as centralized hubs, offering easy access to a diverse array of public services. Empowering citizens and residents alike, these digital platforms facilitate smooth and convenient transactions, information retrieval, and interaction with government entities.

These measures have reinforced Saudi Arabia’s position as the fastest growing and largest digital economy in the Middle East and North Africa.
