The Arena in Riyadh will host the Technology and Startup Conference (step) 2024 on Tuesday, November 26 and Wednesday, November 27, 2024. This date means that Jumada al-Awwal 1446 AH falls on the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth.

Saudi startups raised 5.2 billion riyals in 2023, surpassing the 53.7 billion riyals barrier for the second consecutive year. This indicates the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's commitment to assisting new businesses under Vision 2030, which in turn has worked to establish the Kingdom as a top destination for capital investments in the Middle East and North Africa region. This demonstrates unequivocally that the Saudi economy is among the most dynamic in the world. Additionally, wise policies give small and medium-sized businesses and startups additional opportunities for development and success. As a result, the 2024 Technology and Startup Conference (step) is a great first step towards doing more this year. Along with having faith in the value of assisting new businesses and their potential to improve the Saudi economy to strengthen the Kingdom's economic standing as it undergoes a genuine transition and launch. The degree to which this economic growth has affected residents' lives, for instance by generating employment opportunities, raising living standards, and promoting social stability, and the influence of technology on bolstering the economy will be discussed during the conference, as well as the potential use of AI.
