The DATE AI and DATE Fintech Shows kicked off their day 1 on December 11th, 2023 at the JW Marriott Hotel Riyadh and brought together prestigious AI and fintech experts, innovators, investors, policymakers, and business owners. This collective occurrence highlighted Saudi Arabia's notable contribution to the international digital transformation powered by AI and FinTech.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, December 13, 2023 — The joined event had an essential part to play in stimulating innovation, allowing innovators to interact, form connections, and/or work together with well-known technology leaders and C-suite executives due to the sharp rise in service digitization and the integration of AI and FinTech solutions.
The event drew over 1,000 C-level attendees, 100+ speakers, 200 investors, and 50 sponsors and partners to witness the latest developments that are moving the MENA region and Saudi Arabia towards digitalization. Industry leaders steered the conversations, addressing topics on business growth strategies and real-world applications.
The conversations addressed a wide range of matters, from delving into the fintech sector's examination of the progress of generative AI, to the usage of data life cycle tech with AI, as well as other intriguing topics that caught people's attention.
Day 1 of DATE KSA was full of engaging panel discussions and interesting keynotes which furthered the conversation about the new tech solutions.
A noteworthy session was the fireside chat about 'Cognitive Cities: Science Fiction or Tomorrow’s Future?' conducted by Mr. Yousuf Khalili, Chief Commercial Officer of Tonomus (NEOM). He spoke about a city where technology is fully united with everyday life, reshaping how people live, work, and interact. In addition, he discussed a utopian city created in the center of the Kingdom with awe-inspiring features powered by artificial intelligence and cutting-edge robotics.
The success of Day 1 at the DATE FinTech Show and DATE AI Show (#DATEKSA) generated enthusiasm for Day 2, which promised a unique view of the potential of these revolutionary new technologies.
