LEAP 2026 brings together 900 companies managing $14.3 trillion in assets in Riyadh

Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, is preparing to host the fifth edition of the LEAP conference from August 31 to September 3, with participation from more than 1,000 investors representing over 900 companies that manage assets totaling $14.3 trillion, thereby strengthening Riyadh’s growing status as a global destination for technology investment, according to Al Arabiya.

Following the announcement of a $14.9 billion investment package at LEAP 2025, the fifth edition of the conference moves beyond the traditional concept of showcasing innovations, evolving into a platform that connects capital with ambitious companies through a program that brings together investors and entrepreneurs, offering a range of promising investment opportunities.

Capital strategy forms a central pillar of LEAP 2026. In addition to the investor platform, the event gives startups the opportunity for direct meetings with investors through pre-scheduled one-on-one sessions, accompanied by a comprehensive networking program linking fund managers, venture capital investors, exhibitors, and key figures.

An AI-powered matchmaking system via the LEAP app allows participants to meet investors, founders, and companies in their field of business and connect with them during the conference events.
