Artificial intelligence took center stage on the second day of LEAP 2026 in Saudi Arabia, where exhibitors showcased how AI, robotics, advanced computing, and digital services are increasingly transitioning from research labs into real-world applications. The event, which also featured DeepFest, highlighted technologies ranging from humanoid robots and AI-enabled prosthetics to robust computing systems geared for large-scale AI tasks, illustrating a growing focus on addressing practical industry challenges with AI.
Supermicro introduced advanced computing infrastructure designed to aid organizations in expanding their AI capabilities, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation goals. Mohammad Zahri, the Regional Director at Supermicro, emphasized the company’s dedication to providing computing environments capable of managing complex AI workloads. Robotics also featured prominently, with Unitree presenting its intelligent robotics work and AGIBOT unveiling humanoid systems that integrate perception, decision-making, and physical action. Abel Deng, AGIBOT’s President for the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, described embodied AI as a pivotal step in human-tech interaction, moving AI from digital interfaces into tangible environments.
PSYONIC showcased its Bionic Hand, a prosthetic that leverages AI and robotics to respond to user movements by processing sensor and movement data, exemplifying AI’s potential to assist in physical tasks and enhance human-machine interaction. The event also shone a spotlight on Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation through Tawakkalna, a comprehensive digital government application supported by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority. During LEAP 2026, 62 government entities were acknowledged for integrating their services into Tawakkalna, hitting the platform’s 2026 integration target. Now serving over 36 million users, the platform offers access to more than 1,700 government services, processing over 85 million transactions daily.
The latest integration expanded the platform’s unified interface by adding 926 services from participating government entities, broadening the scope of public services available to citizens, residents, and visitors. Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President at Tahaluf, noted that the event signifies a shift from theoretical discussions about AI’s potential to tangible demonstrations of technologies already deployed in fields like healthcare, robotics, space, and digital infrastructure.
LEAP, organized by Tahaluf, gathers technology companies, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders in Saudi Arabia to explore sectors such as healthcare, finance, energy, education, transportation, digital entertainment, and smart cities. The discussions and demonstrations underscored Saudi Arabia’s commitment to leveraging emerging technologies to bolster domestic capabilities, foster innovation, and create economic opportunities.
