It was a great pleasure to host His Excellency Hisham Alsheikh هشام آل الشيخ, Vice Governor of the Digital Government Authority of Saudi Arabia, for a fireside chat at the TINS: Technology Innovation Studio at CIC (Cambridge Innovation Center). During the conversation, his excellency shared insightful updates on the country’s bold journey towards a fully digital government as part of their Vision 2030 goals. Here are some key takeaways: 🚀 Building the Digital Framework Saudi Arabia has established a robust framework—comprising regulations, support systems, spending controls, and modern infrastructure—to drive the complete digitization of government functions. This includes everything from interactions with businesses and citizens to seamless collaboration across government agencies. 📊 Digital Transformation in Action Progress is evident in areas like reducing the need for physical visits to government offices, expediting court procedures, and interconnecting government agencies digitally. The transformation is already making government services more efficient and accessible. 💼 Workforce Upskilling He also highlighted how the Saudi government is not only focusing on digital infrastructure but also on workforce development. Digital skills are being taught from grade school, ensuring they’re affordable and accessible to all. This upskilling extends to the public sector, where experts are being brought in from companies, universities, and organizations to drive change at all levels of government. 📈 Global Digital Leadership With an eye on the UN EGDI Index, Saudi Arabia is rapidly closing in on a spot in the top 5. The country is also contributing to the wider Middle East's digital shift, emphasizing cooperation over competition globally. 💡 Tech Capital Investment The Saudi government is committed to tech capital funding, enabling innovation and fostering a thriving digital economy. 🤝 Engagement Opportunities For anyone looking to engage with Saudi Arabia's digital transformation journey, staying connected to publicly announced initiatives is key. His excellency encouraged collaboration through supporting startups and participating in events like the Global AI Summit, LEAP, and the Digital Government Forum. Saudi Arabia is moving at an impressive pace in pursuing Vision 2030 plans! 🌍🚀 A big thank you to Harvard Saudi Students Association (HSSA) for organizing this impactful event and to the sponsor KAPSARC who made it possible. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Saudi community in the Boston area and beyond, and to learn about their inspiring work. We would also like to extend our gratitude to CIC for their ongoing support of community engagement in technology and innovation.
