Dr. Al-Tamimi described the Kingdom's innovation and technology market as being the largest and fastest growing in the MENA region.
He emphasized the importance of continuity in enhancing the Kingdom's position in the ICT sector by adopting and investing in future technologies, as well as implementing trials to provide innovative solutions in the field, and driving development by authorizing regulations to encourage the sector to grow.
Saudi Arabia became the world's first country to conduct 5G testing using HAPS, and the first trial of 5G backhauling using LEO satellites in MENA region.
