Vision of Elmetr in Saudi Arabia

 

Technology and innovation underpin large domains of Saudi Arabia's National Transformation Program. As it aspires to improve economic competitiveness and enhance efficiency, Vision 2030 will demand Saudi Arabia to embrace and to invest substantially in new technologies.

Find out which tech developments to expect in the Kingdom and how this will impact regulation.

 

As a result of Vision 2030, we see transformations transpiring speed, increased investment, potential privatization opportunities, raised government support for technological solutions, and more widespread technology adoption. The Kingdom will need to balance this fast shift with regulation to protect corporations and consumers.

 

New Tech Laws and Legislations

 

To promote change and encourage innovation, we expect more focus on laws identifying digital transactions. At the same time, we also expect legal and regulatory measures to establish higher information security and data protection standards.

 

www.elmetr.com ’s managing partner " Taghreed Almashari '' said the Kingdom's telecommunications sector regulator – the Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) – issued a public consultation on a proposed regulation for cloud computing in July 2016. The consultation paper highlighted the anticipation of the regulatory status of cloud computing in the Kingdom and security risks connected with cloud usage as crucial factors in the need for regulation.

 

Almashari mentioned that it is refreshing to see the Saudi regulatory authorities, such as the CITC, taking a proactive and consultative approach to the new regulation. By inviting comments on significant legislation such as the proposed cloud framework, the outcome will hopefully consider the range of industry views and result in comprehensive and practical legislation.

 

Opportunities for Tech Companies

 

The opportunities for technology companies appearing from Vision 2030 are considerable. The possibility to shape the future of the Kingdom presents a glamorous and rare chance for companies to deliver solutions that can make a real difference. We expect that suppliers will be encouraged to be creative and offer products and services that can integrate with Saudi Arabia's future vision.

At the same time, all organizations will be required to monitor the developing legal and regulatory frameworks around the use of technology and data processing. We expect that information security and data protection will be significant themes for future legislation, in addition to specific regulations on particular technology products and services. In some cases, this will create additional administrative and licensing burdens that will need to be considered alongside the market entry opportunities.
