The Digital Government Authority (DGA) Governor, Eng. Ahmed Alsuwaiyan, has announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now ranks third globally and first regionally in international digital government indicators, positioning it as a leading model in using technology to serve humanity.
Speaking at the Fourth Digital Government Forum 2025, held under the theme “Our Future is Now,” Alsuwaiyan attributed this achievement to the unwavering support of Saudi leadership and the strategic implementation of Vision 2030 programs that continue to drive the Kingdom’s digital transformation.
“While tools and technologies evolve, our goals remain the same — to raise productivity, enhance efficiency, and deliver a superior beneficiary experience,” Alsuwaiyan said.
He commended government entities for their rapid progress, moving beyond basic digital transformation toward the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in public services, significantly improving decision-making, service delivery, and citizen satisfaction.
