Riyadh to host Global Security & Technology Summit

The Organizing Committee of the Global Security & Technology Summit (GSTS) has unveiled a comprehensive program of activities scheduled to take place in Riyadh. The initiative is held under the patronage of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and supervised by Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif.

The program consists of three primary phases: GSTS Month, running from November 1 to 30, 2026; the Global Security & Innovation Fair (SAIF) from November 24 to 26, 2026; and the main Summit from December 18 to 20, 2026. GSTS Month will include workshops, boot camps, and training programs across Saudi Arabia’s 13 administrative regions to develop national capabilities and identify emerging talent.

The summit aims to foster international cooperation, promote the integration of advanced technologies—such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things—into the security sector, and establish Saudi Arabia as a global hub for security and technology innovation.
