The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology actively participated in the “Absher 2025” conference through an integrated informational pavilion in which it showcased its latest initiatives and strategic programs aimed at enabling digital transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and supporting the digital government services system in line with the rapidly accelerating technological developments globally.
The Ministry's information booth featured a detailed presentation on its efforts to build national digital capabilities. The Ministry offered a series of specialized training workshops targeting conference attendees and specialists, aiming to raise awareness of modern technologies. It also organized a panel discussion that focused primarily on the concept of "user-centric digital service design," an approach adopted by the Kingdom to ensure easy access to services and enhance the end-user experience for both citizens and residents.
The context of digital transformation and the position of “Absher”
This participation comes at a significant historical juncture, as the Ministry of Interior's "Absher" platform is considered one of the most prominent digital success stories in the Kingdom and the region. It has transformed government services from traditional frameworks to expansive digital spaces, saving time and effort. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology acts as a strategic partner and technology enabler for all government sectors, ensuring the sustainability and continuous development of this digital infrastructure.
Strategic importance and its alignment with Vision 2030
The Ministry's participation in this event is of paramount importance given the pivotal role the telecommunications sector plays in achieving the goals of Vision 2030. By accelerating the adoption of emerging technological solutions and developing the digital skills of national talent, the Ministry directly contributes to enhancing the efficiency of government performance. This integration among government entities strengthens the Kingdom's standing in international indicators, as Saudi Arabia has made significant strides in the United Nations' Digital Government Development Index and global digital competitiveness indices.
Expected impact locally and regionally
Domestically, these programs and initiatives reviewed by the Ministry aim to improve quality of life by digitizing essential services, positively impacting the business environment and investment attractiveness. Regionally, showcasing these successful experiences at a conference as significant as “Absher” reinforces the Kingdom’s position as a regional hub for technology and innovation, and opens avenues for exchanging expertise with neighboring countries seeking to benefit from the Saudi model in government digital transformation.
