Mannai Information Technology Saudi Arabia (MIT KSA), part of Mannai Corporation QPSC, has announced its participation in LEAP 2026. The event will take place from August 31 to September 3 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Conference Center – Malham.

The company’s presence at the event highlights its growing focus on artificial intelligence, connected stadiums, smart cities, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, intelligent digital infrastructure, and digital workplace innovation. Together, these technologies are transforming sports, cities and enterprises across Saudi Arabia.

Notably, MIT KSA’s participation in LEAP 2026 follows the recent opening of its regional headquarters in Riyadh. This move has deepened the company’s local delivery capabilities and strengthened its customer relationships in the Kingdom. Furthermore, it comes at a time when the Kingdom’s sports industry is scaling rapidly under Vision 2030. This growth spans from the expansion of the Saudi Pro League to the country’s preparations to host the FIFA World Cup 2034.

In addition, national efforts such as SDAIA’s AI strategy and the National Gaming and Esports Strategy are creating fresh demand for the technology that powers connected stadiums, smart venues and the wider digital economy around them.

“Sports, cities and enterprises across Saudi Arabia are converging as the Kingdom advances towards the next phase of growth and economic diversification,” said Lakshimi Narayanan, General Manager, Mannai Information Technology, Saudi Arabia. “LEAP 2026 gives us a platform to bring its regional expertise to bear on that opportunity.”

He added that AI, connectivity and cloud form the backbone for the next phase of growth. Through its participation, the company looks forward to showcasing how AI, data and infrastructure work together to support the technological ambitions of the Kingdom. According to Narayanan, the company’s priority is outcomes, the partnerships that make those outcomes possible, and its role as a trusted technology partner in Saudi Arabia’s digital future.

At the booth, a series of interactive demonstrations will focus on practical, real-world outcomes rather than individual technologies. As a result, visitors will see how organizations can use these capabilities to improve operational efficiency, strengthen security, enhance user experiences and unlock new opportunities for innovation. Meanwhile, conversations will be led by MIT KSA’s own expertise and understanding of regional market needs, drawing on a broad ecosystem of global technology partners.

Moreover, new partnerships and joint initiatives with leading Saudi and regional organizations will be a key focus for the company at the event. This will happen alongside continued engagement with global technology leaders. Overall, these collaborations underscore MIT KSA’s long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia. They also reflect its ambition to contribute meaningfully to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives through knowledge-sharing, innovation, and impactful technology partnerships.

Finally, Mannai Information Technology Saudi Arabia will be present at Hall 4, Stand H.20, within the SportsTech Hall at LEAP 2026. There, visitors can engage with the team’s experts and experience these solutions firsthand.
