SAS, a leader in data and AI, showcased its advanced AI-powered solutions at LEAP 2025, reinforcing its commitment to Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation journey.
As the Kingdom accelerates its adoption of AI and data-driven technologies, SAS is expanding its presence and partnerships to support key industries.
Saudi Arabia has emerged a regional leader in transformation – driven by government initiatives such as Saudi Vision 2030 and the rapidly advancing technological landscape. The Kingdom has taken a proactive approach to AI adoption, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity, cementing its place as a regional hub for innovation and trust.
“With AI adoption accelerating across Saudi Arabia, SAS is committed to empowering organisations with the right tools and expertise to unlock new opportunities. The company is actively investing in local talent, strengthening its team, and collaborating with key stakeholders to drive innovation in data analytics and AI applications. We were excited to participate in LEAP25, showcasing cutting-edge technology and real-world applications of AI-driven solutions in the public sector, financial institutions, and the oil & gas sector” says Mohammed Kiki, General Manager of SAS in Saudi Arabia.
Across the world, governments are leveraging SAS’ AI-driven solutions to improve infrastructure, mitigate fraud, and enhance security. For instance, a European infrastructure agency is currently monitoring 15,000 sensors on bridges, tunnels, and waterways in real time using SAS Analytics for IoT, ensuring safety and operational efficiency. Defence and intelligence agencies also rely on SAS solutions for strategic, operational, and tactical decision-making. One government agency, for example, uses SAS for Insider Threat detection, preventing sensitive information leaks that could harm national security.
